If you thought Gotham was a huge area to drive around and explore in Batman: Arkham Knight, then you haven’t seen nothing yet, as Gotham Knights will feature the “biggest version of Gotham” in video games according to WB Games Montreal.
In an interview, Executive Producer Fleur Marty and Game Director Geoff Ellenor talks about the real estate of Gotham in the game.
Geoff: It’s pretty big. I haven’t put one map over the other, but our Gotham is a big place. I tend to spend a lot of my Zoom calls on the Batcyle driving around Gotham. It is one of the fastest and most chill ways to move around the city. It feels like a big place.
Fleur: For sure it’s the biggest version of Gotham that has been represented in video games. The most important thing for us is its density and verticality. It has a lot of layers. The Batcycle is the long-range mode of transportation.
In the same interview, Fleur confirmed that players will be able to play as the same character as their co-op buddies even if it’s weird.
If my main is Nightwing and my friend’s main also happens to be Nightwing, would one of us have to be a different hero, or could we have an Elseworlds situation of two Nightwings together? Geoff: You can make it as weird as you want to.
Fleur: We’re leaving it up to players. We know some people will want to have different characters, but some won’t care. I don’t want to spoil anything, but there’s a funny moment in the game if you are playing as two of the same character. We’re giving you complete freedom.
That’s definitely good news. If I want to have a squad of two Red Hoods acting like John Wick in the game, then so be it!
Gotham Knights is set to glide out this October 25 on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
Earlier this month, Crystal Dynamics announced that the Marvel’s Avengers The Mighty Thor Jane Foster title update (technically it’s free DLC) will be released “later this month.” Today, the studio confirmed that this is still happening! The Marvel’s Avengers Jane Foster DLC release date is set for June 28, and yep, it’ll be part of a free title update to the game!
Alongside this announcement, a new animated trailer featuring how Jane Foster enters the Marvel’s Avengers universe has been released!
Marvel’s Avengers Jane Foster DLC Release Date and Animated Trailer:
While Crystal Dynamics hasn’t revealed Jane Foster’s exact abilities just yet, here’s what the studio had to say about that earlier this month:
In our previous update, we revealed that, as Thor, some of Jane’s abilities will naturally echo the Odinson’s. However, Jane is her own kind of Thor and several design changes set her apart. The biggest differences start with a new Intrinsic, All-Mother’s Blessing, and a new Overcharge ability, God Tempest. Her Ultimate Ability, the All-Weapon, is also brand new as we draw inspiration from her comic runs as Thor and Valkyrie and allow you to smite foes with Undrjarn as well as Mjölnir. Some of Jane’s baseline abilities are also new, including her new ranged combo, and a new ranged power attack. On top of that, Jane will perform some of the familiar abilities she shares with Odinson with her own signature flair.
Alongside this The Mighty Thor title update, Crystal Dynamics is already looking beyond it, as the studio is already preparing for new Omega Level Threats, and more! Once The Mighty Thor patch is out, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.

Just yesterday, Blizzard Entertainment revealed the abilities of upoming hero Junker Queen. Now, the studios has shot out an Overwatch 2 Junker Queen gameplay video, as well as deep dive into her abilities! Ready? Read (and watch) on!
Adrenaline Rush and Scattergun
Adrenaline Rush is the cornerstone of Junker Queen’s identity as a tank. The passive ability heals her from all damage over time dealt by wounds. Many of her abilities apply wounds that cause enemies to slowly drain health. This life-steal passive adds to her survivability and aggression. Pushing the boundaries of brawling, Junker Queen feels more like a berserker tank whose survivability is directly connected to how many enemies she’s wounding.
All of Junker Queen’s abilities encourage her to get up-close and personal with her enemies, so we equipped her with a primary fire that fits her playstyle. Scattergun is a pump-action shotgun with a small spread that makes it extra scary at short range.
Adrenaline Rush and Scattergun enable her to play into enemies while giving her the survivability she needs to make space for her team and fulfill her tank role.
Carnage
Junker Queen’s character has always been depicted with an axe, so that was the starting point for her design. Carnage consists of a big, sweeping swing that wounds all enemies in front of her, dealing damage to them over time and activating Adrenaline Rush. Junker Queen refers to her axe as “Carnage,” further inspiring the importance of this ability in her kit. We thought her axe might work as her primary weapon, but historically, making a melee hero in Overwatch has come with its own set of challenges. For example, Genji’s Dragon Blade used to be his primary weapon, but didn’t translate well in-game; in the end, it was transformed into the powerful Ultimate players know today. We didn’t want to take Junker Queen down a similar path, so we incorporated her axe into this ability.
The original iteration of Carnage let her throw her axe following the initial swing before recalling it back to herself with her magnetic gauntlet; however, when implemented, the practice of throwing her axe felt wrong. It led to a rigid playstyle that didn’t allow for the use of other axe-based abilities while her weapon was out-of-hand, so the throw was swapped to a slash with a wound effect. The concept of throwing and recalling her weapon eventually led to her next ability: Jagged Blade.
Jagged Blade
Jagged Blade is Junker Queen’s secondary fire and comes with both active and passive abilities. The active ability triggers when you press secondary fire, causing her to throw the knife in her off-hand. Her knife, which the Queen calls “Gracie,” applies a wound that causes damage over time if she lands a direct hit on an enemy. Her magnetic gauntlet can recall the knife by re-activating secondary fire. Recalling Gracie will pull any enemy that’s been directly hit, so be wary of your surroundings—if you’re struck by Gracie, you’re heading straight for the Queen.
Jagged Blade isn’t the first time the team has experimented with throwing a weapon. When Reinhardt was first prototyped, he was able to throw his hammer into the enemy team—an ability that was cool in theory, but awkward in practice, requiring him to go pick up his hammer to defend his team any time he threw it. Despite not making it into Reinhardt’s final kit, this prototype ability heavily inspired Jagged Blade. Throwing a weapon made more sense for Junker Queen, who possesses a special magnetic gauntlet that she can use to pull things around her. We didn’t want the gauntlet to make her feel too mage-y or similar to Sigma, who can lift people up and throw them around. Instead, Junker Queen uses her magnetic powers to control her axe and knife as a vicious means to serve her brutal ends.
To make her even more intimidating up close, Jagged Blade’s passive ability wounds enemies when using Quick Melee when the knife is in her hands. These abilities that apply wounds all serve her life-leech passive, Adrenaline Rush.
Commanding Shout
To enhance her tank-iness, Junker Queen is equipped with Commanding Shout, an ability that heightens her own survivability while also helping her teammates around her, increasing the health and movement speed of both herself and any nearby allies. As the first team movement speed buff since Lúcio, Commanding Shout helps Junker Queen close the gap between her and the enemy team. Her ability to close distance was intentionally designed as a movement speed buff, rather than something sneaky like a short dash or teleport, because this helps reinforce her nature as someone who sprints headfirst into battle. She brute forces her way through her opposition with a relentless aggression that demands space. It furthers her effectiveness to take charge and lead her team into battle through tight chokepoints or to cut off flanking enemies.
Like, Commanding Shout, Junker Queen’s ultimate ability charges her into the fray.
Rampage
Rampage is Junker Queen’s Ultimate. It charges her forward, grievously wounds enemies, and prevents them from healing. It’s the first ability since Ana’s Biotic Grenade to apply an anti-heal. Paired with Adrenaline Rush, Rampage is one of Junker Queen’s strongest survivability assets; it applies a deadly wound to anyone in its path, giving her the potential to restore a significant amount of health with Adrenaline Rush depending on the number of wounds she manages to apply.
Initially, her Ultimate was a spinning whirlwind-type ability, but we wanted to incorporate her magnetic gauntlet into her Ultimate ability. We didn’t want it to feel elegant or magic-influenced, either, because it didn’t align well conceptually with character, so we tried to push her magnetic gauntlet to its limits. Rampage charges her gauntlet and creates a cloud with her knife and axe around her while she charges into the enemy team—it’s a display of the raw, visceral power she possesses as Queen.
Overwatch 2’s next beta is set for June 28 on all platforms.
Mediatonic has rolled out Fall Guys update 1.08, which is the Free for All update that makes the game, you guessed it, free for everyone! There’s also a bunch of new content included in this patch as well, which is listed in the Fall Guys June 21 patch notes below.
Fall Guys Update 1.08 Patch Notes | Fall Guys Free for All Patch Notes | Fall Guys June 21 Patch Notes:
NEW ROUNDS AND OBSTACLES!
Free for All features 7 new Rounds at launch, plus 5 brand new obstacles!
HEX-A-RING: You’ve heard of Hex-a-Gone, but have you ever tried jumping from tile to tile while the whole floor rotates? That definitely sounds challenging, but you look like you’re up for a challenge!
VOLLEYFALL: Volleyfall asks, who can knock the ball into the other side of the court without the other players hitting it back into yours? Whoever gets the ball to touch the floor of the other player, wins!
SPEED CIRCUIT: Speed Circuit brings a new level of chaos and momentum to Fall Guys! Navigate through the obstacles in your way and run three laps around the circuit without being flung into the misty slime.
TRACK ATTACK: This truly is a gauntlet to test your Fall Guys skills. With obstacles like speed arches, jump ropes and bouncy floors, you’re bound to learn a thing or two. For both experienced and new players, there are so many ways to get to the finish line in this iconic trial of speed and agility.
BOUNCE PARTY: We all love bouncy castles, but what’s it like to traverse the Blunderdome on one? The new material used in Bounce Party makes the floor very bouncy. One jump and you’re going flying! The bouncy floor can be your friend, or your foe while you bounce through hoops to score points.
THE SWIVELLER: In this revolving Round, players spawn on a rotating ring and must jump over the oncoming jump ropes to avoid falling into the Slime! Get your jump timing wrong and you’ll be picking pink slime out of your ears for weeks!
BLAST BALL: Last but definitely not least, welcoming Blast Ball. Players spawn on a platform in the Fall Guys arena, with parts of that platform collapsing over time. Pick up Blast Balls and throw them to knock each other into the slime!
PLUS! We’ve got one extra-special secret new Round that we’re launching later this season, but you’ll find out more about that soon!

Two Free Functional Weapons — Marco 5 and UGM-8
Expand your Loadout options with two new Battle Pass weapons. Unlock the Marco 5 SMG at Tier 15 and the UGM-8 LMG at Tier 31.
Marco 5: SMG (Tier 15 of Battle Pass System)
“A high mobility submachine gun, accurate from the hip with excellent close-range stopping power.”
Mobility is king when using the Marco 5, an SMG perfectly tailored to the hip-firing slayer. As such, it is Captain Butcher’s preferred weapon, noted for its excellent capabilities in close-quarters combat.
The options really open up after gaining some weapon levels, letting you adjust for mid-range capabilities with a barrel that adds a burst fire toggle, or lean into the weapon’s natural configuration as a hip blaster. Most notable for the latter category is the Marco 5’s Akimbo Proficiency, allowing you to wield two of these bad boys in exchange for losing the ability to aim down sight. You won’t miss it.
For those who prefer running straight into the danger and enjoy circling their foes, the Marco 5 will take you far.
UGM-8 (Tier 31 of Battle Pass System)
“High fire rate, mobile LMG that excels at creating suppressing fire and pushing enemy positions.”
The UGM-8 combines mobility and power in an LMG that’s ideal for suppressing enemy Operators whether you’re attacking a fortified position or defending an important objective.
Using Gunsmith, you can equip smaller caliber rounds to further boost the UGM-8’s high fire rate or opt instead to favor damage over speed via larger caliber rounds. Various barrels offer options such as improved control and stability or improved mobility. Your overall decisions will determine whether the UGM-8 remains a fast-paced LMG or takes on a more traditional heavy yet powerful build.

You’ll need the best equipment to win this fight. The Mercenaries of Fortune Battle Pass features plentiful Weapon Blueprints for every style of play. Here are some of our favorites:

Respawn has rolled out the Apex Legends update 1.000.012 patch on all platforms today, and this is for the Awakening Collection Event! Players can expect a new area to fight in, new cosmetics and more! Read up on the official Apex Legends Awakening Collection Event patch notes down below.
Welcome to Lifeline’s Clinic, a new place to heal up and chill out. This new state-of-the-art building is nestled between Gardens and Grow Towers, in the northeast corner of Olympus.
In the center of the Clinic’s main floor stands the Med-bay. With it, legends can take advantage of the most refined automated healing system in the Outlands. Whenever injured legends are standing on the platform, a heal tether will activate and attach to them. If the Med-bay is charged, they will get continuous healing. Additionally, the Med-bay’s holo-displays will indicate if someone is healing, or if the Med-bay is recharging.
If you want better loot, just head to the “Emergency Platform” at the back and use the Care Package console located there. Make sure to reach it first as you can only use the console once per game.

Maps: USS Texas 1945 at Launch, Desolation in Season
Mercenaries of Fortune brings two new Multiplayer maps that will challenge even the most tactical Operators. A familiar battleship launches alongside the start of the season, with a second map arriving midway through.
USS Texas 1945 (Launch)
USS Texas 1945 challenges Operators to fight it out on an offshore battleship designed for tense long-range engagements on starboard and port and plenty of close-quarters action amidst its many confined interior locations. Set up on a power point and do your worst.
A reimagining of the U.S.S. Texas map from Call of Duty®: WWII, this is a a medium-sized map that’s moved from the white Cliffs of Dover to the waters around Caldera.
Desolation (In-Season)
Deploy to a Pacific listening post in this small-to-medium sized map set in a dense village littered with destruction. Large mountains and a vast landscape engulf the environment as you battle around the central building and along its creekside fortifications.
Blueprint Gun Game Debuts in Vanguard
The fan-favorite Blueprint Gun Game Multiplayer mode makes its Vanguard debut.
Be the first Operator to progress through all 18 weapons to win the match. Eliminate an enemy to cycle to the next weapon. Melee an enemy to set them back one weapon and get the final Throwing Knife elimination to secure victory.
No Perks, Killstreaks, or custom Loadouts allowed. Blueprint Gun Game is all about showing your mastery with a diverse weapon set, making it the perfect means of training up your weapon skills across the board.
New Ranked Season and Rewards
Sharpen your competitive skills by competing in 4v4 matches using the same settings, maps, and modes as the 2022 Call of Duty League.
Get unique Ranked Play rewards for securing wins and top placement against other players in the new season. Rewards include a sleek blue weapon camo for finishing a Ladder event in first place, a blue camo weapon camo for winning 100 matches, weapon blueprints and more. Consider these your incentives to get on the ladder and restart your climb to the top, as all players’ Skill Ratings and Skill Divisions will refresh for Mercenaries of Fortune.
With a new Call of Duty League Midseason Pack on the way and the season fast approaching its Stage IV Major, you’ll be ready and hyped to face even the sweatiest foes.
Four New Weapons, Two in Battle Pass
Add some spice to your Loadouts with these new armaments obtainable throughout the season.
Marco 5 (Launch)
“A high mobility submachine gun, accurate from the hip with excellent close-range stopping power.”
For the highly mobile, aggressive player, there are few better options than rushing into battle with the Marco 5 SMG. It’s great for pushing into objectives, as its high mobility allows you to run circles around the enemy while they struggle to get a bead on your position.
Considering its relatively noticeable recoil and damage falloff at longer distances, the Marco 5 is best when fired from the hip at closer ranges. As the first SMG in Vanguard to feature the Akimbo Proficiency, you’ll soon wonder why you ever needed to aim down sights in the first place.
UGM-8 (Launch)
“High fire rate, mobile LMG that excels at creating suppressing fire and pushing enemy positions.”
Who says an LMG has to slow you down? Combining high mobility with a high fire rate, the UGM-8 is ideal for players looking to keep pace with their teammates while offering suppressive fire.
This thing chews through ammo, so be prepared to feed it. Boost your ammo capacity with one of several different Magazine options or grab Fully Loaded or the Scavenger Perk to prevent going empty in the middle of a fight.
Push Dagger (Launch Window)
“A blade with a T-shaped grip that allows for increased push power. Easily concealable and deadly in CQC.”
Built for speed and stealth, this new melee tool will be a great addition to loadouts where close-quarters fights and silent takedowns are critical to a mission’s success.
Operators can unlock it either through a bundle to be made available during Season Four, or by completing one of two challenges:
In Multiplayer, get 5 Melee Kills with a Primary Weapon in a Single Match 15 times. (Hint: use the Bayonet attachment on a primary weapon for better lunge, or the Fast Melee Perk for quicker maneuvers)
In Zombies, get 100 kills with a Melee weapon while shrouded by your Aether Shroud. (Hint: the new Shi No Numa experience, with interiors that could trap you with the undead often, can be a great way to get kills).
Vargo-S (In-Season)
An essential armament for versatile play. This workhorse Assault Rifle offers a high-fire rate, steady aim through sustained fire, and a quick reload, and that’s before adding any of its Gunsmith attachments.
Unlock both the Marco 5 and the UGM-8 for free through the Seasonal Battle Pass System; more information to come. Unlock the Push Dagger and the Vargo-S in one of two ways: through an-game weapon-based challenge or via a Store Bundle to be released later this season, featuring a Weapon Blueprint from this weapon’s family.
Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll be sure to update the post. Don’t forget, Warzone Season 4 will be kicking out tomorrow, and you can check out the new content incoming for that here.
Update: Post has been updated with the official patch notes courtesy of Sledgehammer Games.
WolfeEye Studios has pushed out Weird West update 1.10, or what the studio calls The Miners and The Restless update version 1.03! This brings in new features, bug fixes and more! Read on for the official Weird West June 21 patch notes.
Weird West Update 1.10 Patch Notes | Weird West 1.03 Patch Notes | Weird West June 21 Patch Notes:
Aside from a healthy dose of bug fixing, this new update adds some brand new Mine locations to the game to keep exploration and bounty hunting fresh. To help with exploring those mine sites, some additional aiming system options are now available and all weapons have also received a facelift with additional stats and loot variations. The game progression system has been also fully revised – with acquired Weapon Abilities now carrying between Journey Heroes – and the game economy received a full balancing pass to go with all this, under the benevolent eyes of the Wanderers, from their brand new outpost location, where Nimp Relics can now be purchased! Not mentioning Companions AI received a lot of love.. oh.. and if you want to keep track of all this mayhem, we are also throwing in a new “Reputation” tab in your journal to keep tabs on your Friends for Life and Vendettas! Finally, console players should be delighted to know the game now runs at 60Fps on Xbox Series S too! Check-out the patch trailer video and more in-depth details below.
New Features From v1.03:
Loot: Weapon Perks
In an effort to diversify weapon loot, Patch 1.03 will introduce the concept of weapon perks. Now, each weapon you find in the world has a low chance of having a random perk attached to it, such as, but not limited to, increasing critical damage against non-human creatures, a chance to poison enemies, the ability to ignore some of the target armor, and more. If you upgrade a weapon with the forge, it will preserve the perk that was attached to it and transfer it to the upgraded weapon, too! This is the first part of our loot pass, which will continue with future patches by adding even more unique random gameplay effects to weapons!
Reputation TAB
Patch 1.03 will see the introduction of the Reputation Tab, allowing you to monitor what Vendettas are still active against you, what Friends for Life you have acquired, and also what Vendettas or Friends for Life your Companions have brought along with them into your Posse, adding a clearer understanding of those systems. From this tab you can also check out in what locations you are currently wanted. We hope you enjoy the new Reputation Tab!
New Aiming System Options
In an effort to make the aiming system easier to use for players of all skill levels, we are adding two gameplay options that can be tuned or turned on/off at any point, depending on your preferences. “Aiming Accuracy,” when set to Permissive will make the aiming system more forgiving so that you will still hit your target even if you don’t very accurately aim at it. A second option, “Slo-Mo while aiming,” allows the game to slow down a tiny bit while entering aim mode to make things a bit less overwhelming if you prefer your action a bit less fast-paced.
Revamped Companion AI
A lot of love was given for this patch to Companions’ AI to avoid most of the issues related to companions not engaging in combat, getting stuck and not following you, or disappearing altogether. While Companions and AI in general will remain one of our core focuses for the coming weeks, to keep on improving the experience, we are confident this update will make Companions a more reliable part of combat!
New Progression System
Patch 1.03 also introduces a revamped progression system, where Weapon Abilities you acquired now transfer between Journeys (unlike Class Abilities), so the progression between the 5 Journeys feels more connected in term of progression. Note that if you load an existing save file after patching, you will be prompted to opt in or opt out of this new system, but all new games started after this patch will use the new progression system. Similarly, when recruiting your previous Journey Heroes, ammo, money, and even horse ownership are now transferred to the new Hero so you don’t feel like your hard-earned dollars and belongings are going to waste. To go along with those changes, we have also done a full balancing pass on the game economy (specifically how much junk items you find in containers and their value), but we have also revised the enemies’ level progression in secondary locations so that the game difficulty in those locations doesn’t plateau as much after the second Journey. This also means Bounty Targets from the Bounty Board will now correctly scale throughout the game, offering 3, 4, and 5 star Bounties as you progress. You will now also receive a relay from the Marshall when Bounties for key Story Characters are added to the Bounty Board so those don’t fully unnoticed!
60 FPS on Xbox Series S
For those of you playing on Xbox Series S, we did a pass on optimization (which will also benefit to lower end PCs, Xbox One, and PS4). The result of that optimization pass is that the game now runs at a steady 60fps on Xbox Series S! We hope you will enjoy the smoother experience!
Bug Fixes:
Fixed some pickup items duplicating when saving and reloading in secondary locations
Fixed shrapnel mine not properly saved and restored after saving/reloading
Fixed destroyable carriable props, which were reappearing after being destroyed on save/reload
Partially fixed memory bloating over long playthroughs which could result in repeated out-of-memory crashes for some players (e.g. loading Grackle). This fix should decrease how frequent the issue occurs for some of you, especially on a new playthrough started with this patch, but might not be sufficient for walkthroughs already well advanced for some players–so we’re still working on further fixes for this and will let you know of further development. If possible, we will try and release a full fix for this via a hot fix without waiting for the next patch release

After the Tenosian Invasion launch on all platforms we were able to make some observations about how our new Team Objective maps were playing out with the community at large.
For both maps we’ve made the beginning half of the maps easier for attackers to progress through, where previously defenders were holding the line too often. We anticipate that this will improve the overall balance of the map and improve the playing experience for both attackers and defenders.

Petards now explode 20% faster after being placed, (now 16 seconds, previously 20 seconds)
Stage 5
Fixed an issue where Mason torch pits would take longer to respawn torches than intended

Reduced catapult health from 2000 HP to 1400 HP
Reduced ballista health from 1000 HP to 700 HP
Masons spawn one second slower (from 10 seconds to 11 seconds)
Tenosians spawn one second faster (from 8 seconds to 7 seconds)
Stage 3
Moved Mason spawners a few meters back
Crash Fixes
Fixed top 3 of the most frequent crashes
Crash when getting the fire arrows achievement
Crash related to horse mounting
Crash that occurred on map load
General Fixes
Adjusted Beginner Mode player count up to the proper amount (from 22 to 40)
Fixed an issue where Horse movement input keys could not be rebound in Options
Fixed an issue where Masons could fall off their boats during Askandir’s opening cinematic
Fixed an issue where player Masons were visible on boats during Askandir’s opening cinematic
Fixed an issue where skin tones options for head customization went missing
Fixed an issue where armour and helmet selections would change to what was equipped on previously selected classes
Adjusted the “Akkadian Mail Shirt” textures to make the armour set more readable for team identification
