The Chinese Room Brings Us to the End With “Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture If you’re a member of the Dear Esther cult, the mentioning of The Chinese Room probably sparks an insatiable curiosity of what is yet to come. We know all too well the story telling prowess of this UK-based developer, and with the upcoming PS4 exclusive [that’s right xbox one and PC gamers, shed a tear. I’m right there with you] there are no exceptions. Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture is the beginning of the very end, and you can expect that spine-chilling disconnected atmosphere that The Chinese Room excels at implementing. Not much has been revealed about the game itself other than you are one of a small group of people left behind after the rapture whisks away humanity all in one brisk sweep. Is this an act of god? Or something else? The teaser trailer suggests a more “manmade” modus operandi, though I like my TCR games like I like my coffee: Full of uncertainty, thrill, an immersive world that captivates my imagination, and 1/3 vanilla soy milk, which is exactly what you can expect from The Chinese Room. Minus the soy milk, maybe.

Batman: Arkham Knight Announced

Following an earlier tease on an official Batman Facebook page, Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady Games’ return to the series, has been announced today.

The aforementioned tease took place on the Batman: Hush Facebook page run by Warner Bros., the owner of DC Comics and publisher of the Batman: Arkham games. A computer generated image of Batman villain, Hush accompanied the post, saying, “Remember a little appearance by somebody in Arkham City? Well things [might get] more interesting next month.” This post has since been removed from the page. (Source)

While Hush didn’t appear in the trailer, we are shown to a car chase and firefight between Two-Face’s gang and the Gotham police force, with the Dark Knight crashing the party in his Nolanverse-inspired Batmobile. This action is accompanied by the disembodied voice of Thomas Wayne reading his last will and testament for his son, Bruce.

The trailer also has appearances by Harley Quinn, the Penguin, as well as an ominous voice by an unspecified villain who can be assumed to be the main antagonist.

Check out the trailer above, and expect Batman: Arkham Knight to come out later this year on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

UPDATE: Gamestop.com has the game listed with a release date of October 14, 2014.
