Batman returns to Ace Chemicals for Arkham Knight’s “Infiltration Part 2” trailer
Rocksteady recently released the second part of their “Ace Chemicals Trilogy” of trailers, showing off more gameplay from Batman: Arkham Knight. Here we see Batman facing off against a lot of opposition in the courtyard of Ace Chemicals, and there’s definitely no shortage of firepower.
The final episode will air on Saturday, December 6 at 10:00 AM (Pacific Time) during the PlayStation Experience and at PlayStation.com.

Sony Spain is teasing that something called Emagon will be unveiled on December 5
This mysterious trailer has popped up on the Spanish PlayStation Blog for a game called Emagon (not to be confused with Eragon!). The Google Translate version of the post refers to the game (if it even is a game) as their “best kept secret,” and says there will be more information on December 5.
This is just before the PlayStation Experience out in Las Vegas, Nevada this weekend, so hopefully Emagon will start it off with a bang.

Threes creator will bring Close Castles to PS4 in 2015
Asher Vollmer, the creator of the mobile game sensation Threes, has announced that his next game, Close Castles, will be released for the PS4 in 2015. According to the developer, Close Castles is a real-time strategy game for people who hate real-time strategy games:
The premise of Close Castles is simple: You and your greatest rival have built your castles WAY too close to each other. Your job is to build up your kingdom (despite the cramped quarters) while simultaneously sending out your loyal citizens to tear down the enemy’s vulnerable castle. We plan to have an amazing, harrowing story that somehow justifies the fact that all these castles were built in such proximity.
You can read a bit more about how to play Close Castles (as well as Vollmer’s deep-seated hatred for RTSs) at the PlayStation Blog. And if you plan to attend the PlayStation Experience this weekend in Las Vegas, you’ll be able to play Close Castles for yourself.

We Are Doomed coming to PS4, Vita in 2015
The hyper intense and visually stunning We Are Doomed will be coming to the PlayStation 4 and Vita in 2015, according to developer Vertex Pop’s post on the PlayStation Blog. Vertex Pop consists of a single talented Canadian named Mobeen Fikree. His gorgeous twin-stick shooter was featured in our PAX Prime PAXpocalypse list last year, and we also saw it at PAX East 2014. Since then, I’ve played it a lot on PC, but I’m very excited to see what Fikree has done to improve it for Sony machines.
On that note, Fikree will be at PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas on December 6th and 7th, so if you’re going to be there, you should swing by and give the game a go. You can also tide yourself over with the recently released PC and/or Mac version, which costs just $4.00.
We Are Doomed is coming to the PS4 in early 2015. The Vita version will be coming later, because he’s “just one person,” and can you cut him slack? I guess I can for now, but boy am I stoked to see it on the Vita.
