At this point, I think we’ve all learned that in modern gaming it is never wise to trust the first or in many cases even the second release date announced for a game. They just never seem to hold up anymore.

Batman: Arkham Knight is only the latest AAA game to incur multiple delays. It had originally been slated for last October but was ultimately pushed to June 2nd of this year. The new launch date is officially set for June 23, 2015. So a few weeks off target, but at least it’s still coming within the same month as previously planned.

Continuing to look on the bright side, there’s a new trailer (up top) out today providing a sneak peek at around seven minutes of straight gameplay from the game’s first chapter. The core gameplay appears to be exactly the same as you remember from the previous titles, but the visuals sure have taken a mighty leap forward. The on-the-fly transitions from Batmobile to on-foot/in-flight Batman look pretty damn sweet as well. After being a bit skeptical of the addition of Batmobile gameplay, this video has brought me around to the idea.

Oh and one last thing. Unless I just have too much Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul on the brain, the new voice actor for Commissioner Jim Gordon sure sounds a whole lot like Jonathan Banks, who you will likely know better as the gruff assassin, enforcer and all-around badass, Mike Ehrmantraut.

Giancarlo Esposito, the actor who portrayed Gus Fring in Breaking Bad, is taking on a similar role in the next wave of downloadable content for co-op heist shooter Payday 2. Because, you see, he needs his payday, too.

Instead of a vicious meth kingpin masquerading as a fried chicken fast food chain owner, in Payday 2 Esposito plays The Dentist, a seemingly normal physician with a dark side hiding behind that signature quiet, icy stare. He may not have a box cutter lying around to slit your throat with, but he’s just as intimidating wielding a dentist drill and syringe. Step out of line and his deadly dental assistant, Olga, will scalpel you up real nice.

The Dentist will serve as a brand new heist contact in the Big Bank DLC scheduled to launch June 17th on Steam for $6.99, as well as three additional DLC heists — Hoxton Breakout, The Diamond, and Golden Grin Casino — to follow later in the year.

Watch the live action short embedded below for an introduction to Esposito’s portrayal of The Dentist.

And here are some in-game screenshots of the Big Bank heist.
