Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance may have just started kicking butt this week but Platinum Games already is working on providing some additional content for the title. Today the company revealed on their official website that there will be at least a few pieces of DLC in the future.

The first piece of DLC seems to focus on VR missions where players will be controlling Raiden in a side-scrolling beat ’em up where Raiden has to use only his fists to fight as well as a mission where players take control of a Dwarf Gekko and have to knock out all the guards in the area.

Also coming soon is a “Soul Snake Wooden Sword” which is a DLC weapon that apparently has the soul of Solid Snake inside of it and it even speaks with Snake’s voice when used in combat. This weapon DLC also comes with an un-detailed VR mission set.

Finally it looks like there are going to be extra missions released where players will take control of Sam and also one taking control of Bladewolf, the awesome robotic dog sidekick.

Avadon 2: The Corruption Announced

Spiderweb Software Inc’s nostalgic RPG throwback ‘Avadon’ is getting a sequel. Text heavy and rich in strategy ‘Avadon 2: The Corruption’ asks you to again protect the interests within Avadon, the Black Fortress.

This is the second game in what is set to be an epic trilogy of conspiracy, civil war, brutal barbarian raids and civic madness. Having come from power, your word being law and the resources of the land at your disposal, you lose everything in a civil war that stinks of something deeper and malevolent at its root. It is your duty to reunite your people under the common cause in devotion to Avadon.

Reminiscent of Diablo’s past, there’s a lot of dungeon crawling, loot grabbing and reading large blocks of text. If this title is anything like the first, you absolutely will not be able to dismiss the deep lore you will encounter as you crawl. You probably will not want to either, as the universe within Avadon is as intriguing as it is intricate.

There will be artefacts and spells aplenty to collect. The fate of Avadon is in your hands in more ways than one, as multiple story lines are available depending on how you choose to act.

Keep an eye out for Spiderweb Software or check in right here to keep up to date with progress on Avadon 2.

This has become something of an expected practice in today’s game industry, so it should come as no surprise that a season pass has been announced for 2K and Irrational Games’ Bioshock Infinite. The pass will cost $20 or 1600 MSP and will work as any other season pass by providing all subsequent DLC for said game for free.

This pass will grant users access to three downloadable expansion packs that would cost $30 if bought separately and they will provide “hours of additional gameplay” and will “continue the player’s journey in the sky-city of Columbia with new stories, characters, abilities and weapons.”

Also found in this season pass is the “Early bird Special Pack” which includes four pieces of exclusive gear in the form of a machine gun damage upgrade, a pistol damage upgrade, a gold skin for both of those weapons and five infusion bottles that allow players to increase their health, shield durability or the amount of “Salts” they can carry which are required to use “Vigors.”

Killzone: Shadow Fall to be a PlayStation 4 launch title alongside Watch_Dogs and DriveClub

Yesterday a number of PlayStation 4 titles were shown off, but how many of those are going to be launch titles you ask? Well it seems at least three of them will be. Today it was revealed on the PlayStation Blog by Guerrilla senior producer Steven Ter Heide that Killzone: Shadow Fall will be released alongside Sony’s next console.

To be a bit more specific he stated the following:

“Today we are happy we can finally show you what we have been working on. It has been an amazing journey for us so far, being offered the opportunity to be a launch title for the new PlayStation, and the subsequent mild panic to figure out how to best handle all of that. But being able to now share it with you is both a scary and proud moment. We are hoping you will like what we have created, and are happy to present you with the first glimpse of Killzone: Shadow Fall.”

It is also worth noting that Watch Dogs will be a launch title for the PlayStation 4 and the LinkedIn profile (viewable to premium members only) for DriveClub senior environment artist Jeremy P Miller describes the game as a “PlayStation 4 launch title” which means we should expect to see that title on store shelves alongside the other two this holiday season.

Legend of Grimrock 2 officially announced

It looks like all those teasers that Almost Human has been making over the last month have indeed been pointing towards Legend of Grimrock 2. Interestingly enough though, this wasn’t even meant to be a full blown sequel initially, but as Petri Häkkinen detailed on the company’s official blog, it was originally meant to be a simple expansion.

However with all of the content they had already been working on, the company felt that “creating a mere DLC or expansion to Grimrock simply would not have felt right” and because of that we now have Legend of Grimrock 2 on the way. It is worth noting that the announcement did not mention any release window, price or actual details about the game so expect that news to come at a later time.

Yesterday the PlayStation 4 was announced by Sony and alongside various announcements for the new console, fans of Sony’s products were keeping an eye out for one more bit of news… a price drop for the PlayStation Vita in the West. You see, it was previously revealed only a few days ago that the Vita would be discounted roughly $50 in Japan, but Sony had not mentioned anything about the West.

Now, speaking with Joystiq, Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida is saying that the exchange rate is the reason why Japan is getting a discount while North Americans and everyone else doesn’t deserve one. Simple and clear cut and it seems that the Vita will remain priced at $250-$300 along with the extremely overpriced memory cards that cost as much as 30% of the console itself simply to get your foot in the door.
