Check out Rocksteady’s return to Gotham with this edited gameplay trailer of the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight. In it Batman is infiltrating the heavily defended Ace Chemicals plant in order to rescue hostages and learn about Scarecrow’s nefarious plot. The video also features a brief encounter with the eponymous Arkham Knight, a mysterious evil counterpart to Batman.

The action features everything you’ve come to know and love in the Arkham games: cool tools, bone-crunching brawling, tactical infiltration, gliding around the night sky (is it ever daytime in Gotham?). It also shows off the newly amped-up Batmobile, which plays a much more prominent role than in previous games. Watch Batman get behind the wheel to jump across a blown bridge then squeal around drift turns while gunning down defense turrets.

Batman: Arkham Knight comes to PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on June 2, 2015.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake: release date speculation, trailers, gameplay, and more

A Sith lord in the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake trailer.

Before Disney bought the Star Wars IP and cut nearly everything that wasn't the main film series out of the canon, there were tons of expanded Star Wars universe games, books, and shows that were technically all canon. Some games obviously attempted to retell the stories from the films, while others tried to fill in gaps between them. When BioWare got the chance to make a Star Wars game, they decided to set it where they had the most creative freedom possible: the distant past.

Knights of the Old Republic was originally released on PC and Xbox in 2003. Taking the experience BioWare had for writing deep, complex, and layered RPG stories and mixing it with the setting of the Star Wars universe, this original tale of hunting down Darth Revan became an instant classic. Even nearly two decades later, many consider it to be one of the best Star Wars stories ever told, films included. However, two decades will make even the best game show its age, which was why rumors about a Knights of the Old Republic remake were so exciting. Thankfully, those rumors turned out to be true. We only have a short teaser and some articles for information so far, but here's everything we know about the Knights of the Old Republic remake.

The remake of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic has reportedly been indefinitely delayed. According to a report, the studio behind the project, Aspyr Media, is trying to figure out how to continue it after several key figures left the project.

Per Bloomberg, two studio heads from Aspyr told employees throughout this month that the game would be delayed as the studio is looking for new contracts and development work. At the end of last month on June 30, Aspyr reportedly managed to finish a demo for the game to show Lucasfilm and Sony.
