Batman Arkham City Collector’s Edition: Unboxing pictures

Batman: Arkham City  has finally arrived and we here at Digital Trends have pulled back the cowl on the collector’s edition of the game to see where Batman gets all those wonderful toys.

The highlight of the Batman: Arkham City Collector’s Edition is a custom Batman statue made by Kotobukiya who are well known for their work on other movie, comic, and video game figures. The CE also contains a digital version of Arkham City: the Album; a copy of the DC animated original movie Batman: Gotham Knight, and early access to the Penguin’s Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map.

For those who enjoy their costume changes, there are two game add-on downloads allowing you to play with the Dark Knight Returns skin, and of course everyone’s favorite feline femme fetal e — Selena Kyle herself  — Catwoman. A collector’s edition wouldn’t be complete without the obligatory art book, so fans needn’t worry as the CE version of Batman: Arkham City art book is included as well.

The Batman: Arkham City Collector’s Edition is available today for $99.99, alongside the standard edition of Arkham City.

What do you think Bat fans? Did Rocksteady do a good job with the collector’s edition of the game? Let us know which version you plan on picking up as well your thoughts in the comments section below.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
