Hover: Revolt of Gamers is an open-world freerun/Parkour game, set in a futuristic world. The game is being developed by French developers, Midgar Studios and is planned for release on the PC, Xbox One, PS4, Wii U, Mac and Linux. The title’s visuals and gameplay-style looks very familiar to games like Jet Set Radio and Mirrors Edge.

The game sees you in a futuristic world where the new Mayor has passed a law that makes playing video games a criminal offence. To fight back, you will go around freeing citizens, retrieve their game consoles by infiltrating the control centres while attempting to doge the security drones patrolling the city. The game purely focuses on racing elements; you’ll be able to run at a lightning speed, jump off walls, slide and perform huge jumps to cover maximum distance. The cartoony visual-style is quite compelling and it looks like a ton of fun leaping around with friends and racing to beat them and AI opponents as it also features multiplayer and co-op modes.

You can fund the project here, and check out the trailer below.

While the singleplayer and co-op modes focus on curbing the terrorist Blacklist strikes, the multiplayer portion brings back the extremely gratifying Spies Vs Mercs mode, in which playing as the former means staying stealthy, keeping to the shadows and planning quick surgical takedowns, while the latter involves defending strategic points and using lethal firepower to eliminate the pesky sneaky spies.

Tired of playing the good guy in the Batman universe? Fret not as it seems that Deathstroke, a primary antagonist in the upcoming multiplatform action title Batman: Arkham Origins, might just be playable through DLC if you pre-order the game via Amazon. The details of the availability and content of this pack have not been confirmed yet, though it does seem similar to the Catwoman DLC offer accompanying the previous game in the series, Batman: Arkham City; that piece of downloadable content was a blast, and something along those lines would make for some great gameplay.

The short cinematic trailer recently released showed the Dark Knight in an all-out brawl with Deathstroke, who will reportedly be voiced by Ron Perlman (of Hellboy fame). Another piece of good news for fans of the game is that Kevin Conroy will be reprising his role as Batman in Arkham: Origins; while he has been the voice actor for the previous Batman games rumours had initially suggested that he would be replaced by another for the upcoming game. The announcement was made at the Dallas Comic Con; thanks CVG.

Batman: Arkham Origins is currently on track for release on 25 October on the PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U and is more of an origins story featuring a young Bruce Wayne; click here and here to view more about the game.
