Warner Bros. has announced the newest edition to the Arkham series with Batman: Arkham Origins. While the game has not been fully revealed, a few things are known. This title takes Batman back near the start of his superhero career. Before the Dark Knight was the ultimate crime fighter and master detective, he had to begin at the bottom and work his way up. Bringing in villains before they hit the big time will help even the odds against this early Batman. One of these villains is Deathstroke, as seen in the Game Informer magazine cover.

With Bethesda tweeting that they are looking for (tweet #1) experienced UI designers for their “unannounced” game, as well as (tweet #2) future generation console programmers, rumors were bound to start flying about what they are developing in that secret base of theirs.

Everyone has “known” for the past year that Fallout 4 was already being worked on, but almost no one has come forward with any news.
