Rocksteady Returns to Batman After $200M Suicide Squad Setback #
Warner Bros is pulling their ace from the sleeve. After Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's disappointing performance and a $200M loss, Rocksteady is heading back to what they do best - Batman.
The real kicker? This new single-player Batman game might land on Nintendo Switch 2, given Warner's recent track record of porting games to Nintendo platforms.
Key takeaway: Don't expect this caped crusader anytime soon though. Bloomberg reports it's "years away from landing."
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 Crushes Steam Records #

Want to steal a lute? Better be ready to pay 2,000 groschen or live as an outlaw. This isn't your typical "press X to become master thief" RPG.
The PSN went down harder than a hunter facing Fatalis for the first time, but Capcom's got our backs:
New Beta Timeline for Deliverance 2 :
- Starts: Feb 13, 7pm PT / Feb 14, 3am GMT

Steam Bans Mobile-Style Ad Business Models #
Valve just dropped the ban hammer on those annoying mobile-game style ads. No more "watch this ad to continue playing" nonsense on Steam.
What's still allowed:
- Product placement
- Cross-game promotions
- External advertising
This is basically Valve saying "We don't do that here" to mobile gaming's most annoying feature.
