Last week, D3Publisher revealed “Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW!”. The announcement did not offer up a release date – only a vague “fall” window was provided.

According to a listing on GameFly, the new Adventure Time will be available on November 12. That’s not official, but it’s the only thing we have to go on at the moment. Plus, last year’s Adventure Time did ship in November as well.

Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City had their fair share of downloadable content. Arkham Origins will be getting DLC as well.

In an interview with Game Informer, creative director Eric Holmes gave some insight into the team’s approach prior to the announcement of the Deathstroke DLC pre-order bonus (which, for now, doesn’t appear to be Wii U-bound).

He said:

“I think the challenge with DLC is finding something worth saying that you didn’t say in the main game, something that adds to the story or universe. Without giving too much away, I think the DC Universe is a very expansive and exciting place and we’re spoiled for choice as far as opportunities.”

“I think it’s important when you’re building any game in any franchise to try and give yourself creative room and not say everything in the main product. One of the terms we used before was leaving a USB port on the side so something else can plug in and go somewhere else, or carving out a little hole that you can answer. If you have a narrative disconnect in your story, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is a mistake. ‘Well where did that character go when he went off and did that? Where did he get that gadget that he turned up with? Or that weapon? How did he find these guys to go and get help from?’ That might be a question you have at the end of the game but that might be placed there intentionally so that you can answer that in a separate story. Rather than have this disconnect, it’s actually a crack in the story that we go and fill in later and have this little revelation as a result of that.”

Here’s a question: will the Wii U be receiving any Batman: Arkham Origins DLC? There’s no reason why it couldn’t (and shouldn’t happen).

Activision already removed yesterday’s video, so this one may go down as well…

I have to hand it to Nintendo: this is a pretty great marketing campaign. If nothing else, this will definitely raise the awareness surrounding Game & Wario, which is something the game could use.

If you pre-order Watch_Dogs from either Amazon or GameStop, you’ll receive an extra piece of bonus DLC.

Amazon is handing out the “Signature Shot Pack”, an exclusive single-player mission that dishes out an original Biometric Assault Rifle and the Black Viceroy’s Outfit upon completion.

Ubisoft’s description of the biometric weapon reads:

“The biometrics weapon has been smuggled into Chicago for the captain of the Black Viceroy’s gang. The weapon only works for the first person to imprint their palm on the handle. Players will need to breach a stronghold, steal the package and be the first to imprint the weapon and get out of The Wards alive.”

GameStop has its own exclusive pre-order content. Those who reserve Watch_Dogs from the retailer will receive The Palace Pack single-player mission featuring the investigation bonus and ATM hack boost. The first item “will unlock exclusive investigation opportunities inside of the network” while the ATM hack boost “will increase cash rewards when hacking into bank accounts.”
