News Swamp Thing Rises from the Mire and into Injustice 2
Mud man
Swamp Thing is a cool character, but creator Len Rein could have put a little more effort into the name of Dr. Alec Holland's alter-ego, eh? Anyway, the odious anti-hero is joining the roster of Injustice 2, and you can see the foul fighter in all of his glory courtesy of the trailer embedded above. While his design isn't anything to write...
News Black Canary Sonic Screams into Injustice 2 on PS4
Shriek beak
With the release date set, NetherRealm Studios is ramping up the character reveals for Injustice 2, and Black Canary is the latest name to be reeled off the list. Green Arrow's significant other is perhaps not one of the most notorious names in DC Comics lore, but the superheroine is one of the earlier ones. In this gameplay trailer...
News Boy Wonder Battles Batman in Injustice 2 Robin Trailer
Reliant Robin
NetherRealm releases are impressive beasts. On sites like this it always feels like fighting genre stalwarts Street Fighter and Tekken have the upper-hand, and it's true that they'll command most of the attention in the competitive scene. But still, games like Mortal Kombat X garner ridiculous traction among the mainstream, and looking...
News Injustice 2's Story Trailer Goes Deep into the Superhero Psyche
Has Batman gone batty?
Even if you're not a massive fan of DC or superheroes in general, we reckon this fresh Injustice 2 trailer sets the scene pretty well for the upcoming sequel. It's all about questioning the values of Batman and the gang; identifying what makes them tick and asking whether they can really be trusted. With great power comes...
News Here's How Ex-Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Looks on PS4
Cop a feel
Ex-Wii U exclusive LEGO City Undercover will chase down the PlayStation 4 this spring, and here's your first look at the adaptation in action. The toy-based open world title presents a humorous take on police procedurals, and is looking strong in this trailer. That's no surprise, of course: the original release was warmly received, and...
News Superhero Brawler Injustice 2 Uppercuts PS4 on 16th May
Fight!
Injustice 2 will enter the ring on 16th May, creative director Ed Boon has revealed on Twitter. The Mortal Kombat man didn't need any words to confirm the release date of the DC Comics mash up; instead he simply uploaded an image of the date prefaced by the acronym 'I2'. Doesn't really take a genius to figure out, does it? NetherRealm titles...
News Supergirl Smashes Faces in Injustice 2 on PS4
Krypton-fight
It's been a little while since we heard anything about Injustice 2, so we're probably due this update to be frank. IGN has uploaded a video centring on the moves and abilities of Supergirl, a so-called "Jill of all trades" character with ice breath and the ability to fly close to the sun. We're still not sure about the art direction in...
Rumour Warner Bros Montreal Scraps Suicide Squad Game
Harley fin
Word is that Warner Bros Montreal has scrapped its long-in-development Suicide Squad game – despite it being in production for two years. The title – which would have seen you take control of the eponymous band of anti-heroes – was never formally announced, but was rumoured to be a co-op title. Apparently, it failed to impress...
Hands On Getting Creative with LEGO Worlds on PS4
If you can dream it, you can build it
Ever since the launch of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game years ago on the PlayStation 2, the LEGO games have enjoyed a lengthy, if somewhat predictable, lineage of excellent platformers. The formula is relatively set in stone at this point, as you build, fight, and explore LEGO universes across a broad variety of...
News Wii U Exclusive LEGO City Undercover Earns Its Badge on PS4
Cuffed to bits
First it was ZombiU, and now it's LEGO City Undercover: the Wii U fanboys would probably be fuming if Nintendo hadn't already ceased production of the catastrophic console. Writing on Twitter, Warner Bros has announced that the aforementioned Grand Theft Auto-inspired blockbuster will be setting a waypoint for the PlayStation 4 in...
Review LEGO Harry Potter Collection (PS4)
You're a LEGO, 'Arry
The two LEGO Harry Potter games proved a fun romp through the story of the seven books and eight films back on the PlayStation 3, and now Traveller's Tales has ported the experience as a complete package to the PlayStation 4. Initially released as Years 1-4 and Years 5-7, the LEGO Harry Potter Collection pulls both games...
Review Batman: Return to Arkham (PS4)
Blockbuster
The Batman: Arkham series has housed some of the best superhero games of all time – Spider-Man 2 and perhaps Deadpool aside – so it's easy to see why Warner Bros and Rocksteady decided to return to Arkham with, er, Batman: Return to Arkham. Consisting of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (along with all DLC), right off the bat it's hard...
News Oh! Batman: Return to Arkham Is Out on PS4
No Joker
Surprise: Batman: Return to Arkham is out now. Well, in some regions it is – those of you in the UK may have to wait until tomorrow. The point, though, is that this game seems to have snuck up on us like a laughing gas bomb. We distinctly remember it being delayed a little earlier in the year… And now, it's out! Here's the launch...
Review Batman: Arkham VR (PS4)
Behind the mask
Rocksteady's never been shy depicting Batman as the mentally deranged individual that he so clearly is, and with the British studio back on development duties for this short virtual reality story, it's Bruce Wayne's busted psyche that once again takes centre stage. Batman: Arkham VR may only take you about an hour to see through, but...
Video Watch Us Become the Batman with PlayStation VR
Caped crusader
Batman: Arkham VR very much falls under the "experience" category rather than a full-fledged game, but how much would you pay to be the Dark Knight for an hour? Well, developer Rocksteady's charging $19.99/£15.99 for this, which certainly looks steep on the surface, but it's by far one of the best examples of virtual reality so far...
Rumour LEGO Harry Potter Collection to Earn Five Points for PS4
You're a remaster, 'Arry
Assassin's Creed Ezio Collection isn't the only PlayStation 4 remaster to leak on a ratings board today: LEGO Harry Potter Collection was also listed for Sony's new-gen system in Brazil. Assuming that the nation's not totally drunk on Olympic fever, this unexpected package will presumably compile updated versions of LEGO...
Gamescom 2016 Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn, Deadshot Crash into Injustice 2
Quinn-tessential
It wouldn't be a gaming convention without some new Injustice 2 announcements, and fortunately Warner Bros has rocked up right on time to reveal that Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn and Deadshot will be joining the release's roster. The former looks especially fun to play, as she uses a combination of her hammer and attack dogs to do...
News There Are Some Excitable People in This Batman: Arkham VR Trailer
Holy hype, Batman
What's the best way to get great marketing material? Interview people immediately after trying virtual reality for the first time. Seriously, the tech is so mind-blowing at first attempt that you're practically guaranteed a quality clip or three – as this Batman: Arkham VR video shot at the San Diego Comic-Con proves. To be...
News Oh Right, Sonic the Hedgehog's Spin-Dashing LEGO Dimensions
Put a ring on it
Considerably less exciting than the upcoming Sonic Mania, it's been confirmed after months of rumours and teasing that Sonic the Hedgehog will be joining the roster of Warner Bros' increasingly weird licensed love-in, LEGO Dimensions. The blue blur will be available as part of a level pack which will allow you to speed through some...
News Wonder Woman, Blue Beetle Battle It Out in Injustice 2
DC Comics dust-up
San Diego Comic-Con is on right now, and as is an annual tradition, plenty of new characters are being announced for fighting games.

News The Witcher III Will Get a PS4 Game of the Year Edition Deserving of Its Name
Triss-tastic
We didn't vote The Witcher III: Wild Hunt as our Game of the Year – that coveted accolade went to the unbelievably good Bloodborne – but it came mighty close. We're also comfortable admitting that we were in the minority – the last we read, over 240 individual publications had awarded CD Projekt Red's fantasy epic their top gong...
News Batman: Return to Arkham Delayed on PS4
No Batusi just yet
Warner Bros. has delayed Batman: Return to Arkham a month before its original 29th July release date, with no sign of a new launch window. Announced on the WB Games forum, the delay will apparently give developer Virtuous Games - who recently helped port Heavy Rain to PlayStation 4 - more time polish the Batman Arkham
Live Injustice 2's First PS4 Gameplay Brawls in Right Here
Batman vs. Superman

Still, why not prolong the entertainment, eh? Watch the above stream from 17:00PM PDT (01:00AM BST) for the first footage of...
News Every Battle Will Define You in Injustice 2 on PS4
Superheroes smash each others' faces in next year
Surprise: Injustice 2 is bringing burly comic book characters to the PlayStation 4 in 2017. The game – which leaked yesterday – promises to offer "all of the things that you'd expect from a sequel". That, of course, includes new fighters and environments, but Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm...
Rumour Batman and The Flash Face Off in Leaked Injustice 2 Art
Immortal kombat
Remember the rumour about Injustice 2? Looks like this is your very first, blurry, potato-cam look at the title. In an age of uber-expensive smartphones, the Vaseline smeared shot has thrown us off, but this appears to be original artwork – and, let's be honest, the game is guaranteed to be in development, isn't it? The character...
Rumour Batman, Superman to Brawl in Injustice 2 on PS4
Clash of the titans
We try not to run unsourced stories here at Push Square, but this one's more obvious than the Box Office eventually milking every comic book character dry: Injustice 2 is in development and is about to be announced. The rumour comes courtesy of a French site's "inside sources" – but let's be realistic, it's obviousl
News Batman: Return to Arkham Is Looking Like a Pretty Rough PS4 Remaster
Bit of a Joker
Alarm bells were ringing when the press release for Batman: Return to Arkham – the PlayStation 4 compilation featuring Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City – revealed that the remaster would be re-engineered using Unreal Engine 4. For those of you not intimately familiar with the development of the originals, Rocksteady...
News It Sounds Like Dying Light 2 Is in Development
Baseball bats at the ready
Polish studio Techland is likely working on a sequel to Dying Light, its incredibly popular open world undead-'em-up which launched in January last year. The developer recently announced that it currently has two projects on the go, and while Dying Light 2 wasn't talked about officially, the studio certainly made it sound...
News Holy Remaster, Batman! Return to Arkham Revealed for PS4
The re-release we deserve

Oh my Skelligod!
At a panel that discussed how card game Gwent came to appear in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Polish developer CD Projekt Red shared news that more cards are headed to the title in the final expansion, Blood and Wine.

News LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Gets a New Gameplay Trailer
Can't wait until it's Finn-ished
The LEGO games have become a little stagnant as of late, adding more content, yet not many mechanics. By the looks of its new gameplay trailer, though, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens looks to change that. There's plenty of new gameplay features, most notably a new space battle mode, where you'll be able to fly...
Review Dying Light: The Following (PS4)
Not that sort of buggy
Released a little over a year ago, Dying Light turned out to be a satisfyingly brutal zombie murder sim that eschewed a lot of what you expect from such titles. By making speed and evasion stronger weapons than any of the sharp objects that you acquired, when you were stuck at ground level you couldn't help but feel incredibly...
News DC Universe Online Now Features Cross-Play on PS4, PS3
People power
If you've played DC Universe Online recently then, you'll know that something has been missing: the players.

The link...

News LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Pins Down Exclusive Content on PS4, PS3
Sony's formats feeling the force
Just to follow up this morning's story: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is real, it's coming out on 28th June, and it will sell better than a woolly jumper on Hoth. The game will re-tell the events from the movie – maybe you've heard of it? – and will also include some extra fiction that will bridge the gap...
News LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Becomes the Most Predictable Crossover Ever
Milk me BB one more time
Anyone else getting really tired of these LEGO games? Our understanding is that they sell exceptionally well, but gamers rag on Call of Duty's annual release schedule – when there tends to be three or four Mega Bloks-esque escapades crammed into a 12 month period. LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens is the latest to roll out...
News New Batman DLC Flies onto PS4 from 26th January
Nananana
In a recent news thread on the WBGames forums, the publisher has announced the release date for some new Batman: Arkham Knight downloadable content called the 'Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #6', which was previously called the 'Community Challenge Pack'. The post states that the deploy date for the content on the PlayStation 4 is 26th...

Soapbox Why I Don't Hate The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Anymore
Bitchin' witchin'
I stopped playing The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on 6th June, swore off it for life, told colleague Robert Ramsey that he'd Made_A_Huge_Mistake.gif awarding it a 10/10, and spent the following six months ridiculing everyone for liking a game in which following a floating foetus is widely regarded as its best bit. I was wrong. Y'see,...
News The Witcher 3 PS4 Patch 1.12 Is Out Now
It's fixing time
Hey, it's been quite a while since we've done one of these, eh? There's a brand new update out for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on PlayStation 4, which weighs in at about 1.5GB. Good job there's a decimal point in there. Truth be told, there's no reason to get really excited for this one - patch 1.12 is stuffed with specific fixes and...
Soapbox Why Mad Max Is a Hugely Overlooked Game
Sam Brooke on a world gone mad
Mad Max didn't really make any Game of the Year lists, yet I feel that it's been hugely overlooked, and that it has plenty to offer. The game, on paper, should've just been another boring Ubisoft open-worlder: camps to infiltrate, viewpoints to climb up to and survey, skill trees, upgrades, and all the usual stuff...
News Feast Your Eyes on The Witcher 3's Final Expansion with These First Screenshots
Wine and dine
Who's ready for Geralt of Rivia's final adventure, then? It's been a long and admittedly bloody road, but the silver haired warrior's journey is drawing to a close next year with the release of Blood and Wine, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's second expansion - and it's already looking good. Judging from these brand new environmental...
News Xenomorph, Leatherface Breathe Fear into Mortal Kombat X
Bo Rai Cho and Tri-Borg also enter the fray
At this point, NetherRealm Studios may as well just turn Terrordrome into a real title, as it's slowly adding every slasher icon that it can license to Mortal Kombat X. A trailer for the brawler's second Season Pass has leaked ahead of The Game Awards, revealing that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's...

News You'll Find Out Who's Next in Mortal Kombat X at The Game Awards

Mortal Kombat X has been one of the biggest sellers of 2015, so it's no surprise that NetherRealm has decided to extend DLC support for the fighter.

News New The Witcher 3 Trailer Reminds Us Why It's a Game of the Year Contender
Bewitched
'Epic' is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days - often rather carelessly - but we reckon that The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt's new 'Epic Trailer' sort of deserves to use it. In what appears to be a bid to make everyone remember that it's arguably one of the best titles of 2015, the video is a montage of many memorable moments from...
News The Witcher 3 Sweeps Golden Joystick Awards 2015
Ultimate Game of the Year, apparently
Geralt will be wearing a rather wry smile right now as The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt pretty much dominated this year's Golden Joystick Awards. The annual awards are based on public voting, so it's safe to say that the games which end up winning have usually had a big impact on the gaming community. CD Projekt Red's...
