It has been announced that the next installment in the Batman: Arkham series has had its release date delayed by a few weeks, pushing it back from June 2nd to June 23rd.

Batman: Arkham Knight was originally supposed to have been released last year but Warner Bros then decided to delay the release until 2015, with the date of June 2nd being announced soon after. This further delay is probably down to wanting to make sure that the game is as functional as possible.

In a press release from the developers they explain the delay by saying “We’re a developer that hates to make any compromises, so we are sorry to say this means it’s going to be just a little bit longer until you can play the epic conclusion to the Arkham trilogy.”

The game will be released on the platforms of PC, Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. Pre-ordering the game will net you the Harley Quinn and Red Hood story packs.

The end of season 2 of Diablo III is nigh say Blizzard, the company having set an end date for it as well as announcing the start date for the next season. Season 2 will be ending on April 5th and Season 3 beginning on April 10th. The downtime might also bring with it the latest patch update, and a wave of new content too.

Patch 2.2 has been on the PTR servers being tested for a little bit and it’s rebalanced classes as well as new legendaries. It seems ready to go, so go look up what it’ll bring to prepare yourself as its implementation could come during the 5 days between seasons.

The exact times for the end of Season 2 are as follows:

• North America: Sunday, April 5 @ 9:00 p.m. PDT
• Europe: Sunday, April 5 @ 9:00 p.m. CEST
• Asia: Sunday, April 5 @ 9:00 p.m. KST

Season 3 will be starting shortly after at the following dates and times for each region:

• North America: Friday, April 10 @ 6:00 p.m. PDT
• Europe: Friday, April 10 @ 6:00 p.m. CEST
• Asia: Friday, April 10 @ 6:00 p.m. KST

Telltale Games have confirmed that the third episode of their Game of Thrones game will be out later this month before the end. Screencap teasers have also been released, one of which features one of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons: Drogon.

In the screencaps we can see the locations of Westeros, Essos and The Wall and the event of Tyrion being arrested by the King’s Guard, so we can decipher that the events of the game are fast catching up with the events of where the televisual series is right now. The appearance of Drogon could also mean that Daenerys Targaryen is going to make an appearance in this episode.

Hawken, the free-to-play PC mech shooter has been in a bit of a pickle for some time now. The game was developed by Adhesive Games, who have been pretty quiet for the last few months. It seemed that support for Hawken was coming to an end, as password resets, forum functionality and game updates were completely stalled. So you can imagine our surprise when Joshua Clausen of Reloaded Games delivered the following announcement on Facebook:

“I’m pretty excited to *now* be able to announce that Reloaded Games is the new owner of Hawken .It’s a seriously great honor to be a part of the Hawken story, and I want to see it thrive .Once the forums are up we will post more information (they’ve been taking a lot longer than I was hoping).”

In a nutshell, Reloaded Games plan to:

• Fix password reset
• Fix more deployment stuff
• Fix a bunch of tool sytems
• Plan new updates and futuure changes
• Get forums working again
• Fix more backend systems

An interesting, if somewhat vague list. It seems that Hawken might live to shoot another day. And that can only be good for all of us, as nothing goes together quite as well as giant mechs and giant guns.

All those of you waiting to log back into The Elder Scrolls Online, you can go ahead and do it now. Zenimax have made the Tamriel Unlimited update for the game live already, a day sooner than expected. This means that once you’ve bought the game, it’s yours to play as much as you want – the subscription is now gone. At least if you have boxed copy, Steam players had to wait a bit longer.

Some bits of the update aren’t live yet though, the purchasing of the in-game currency, Crowns, doesn’t seem to be live and not all of the allotments have been distributed yet to players although Zenimax say everyone should have theirs by Friday. There’s also a bug with Champion points not showing up which can be fixed with a simple relog.

The update is live even if you let your account lapse, so if you feel like getting back into it now’s your chance.
