Post E3: Games Announcement Round-Up

The Electronic Entertainment Expo for 2011 may be over, but that hasn't stopped video game developers bringing out a host of new announcements to follow-up on the wealth of developments that occured last week. Here's a round-up of what you may have missed on games news sites recently:
  • Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Mass Effect 3 will both be getting special editions, the former's containing new armour for Ezio, new multiplayer characters, new cover art and the game's soundtrack, and the latter's containing a metal casing for the game, a 70 page artbook, an exclusive Dark Horse comic, a Normandy prop for Xbox Live avatars and a totally hip hoodie for Shephard to wear (ahem).
  • Going back to Revelations, it's been confirmed that the Brotherhood team mechanic will return and there will be more Prince of Persia-esque action scenes.
  • Robin will feature in Batman: Arkham City in some form, as Best Buy has confimed exclusive challenge maps for him which pretty much confirms his involvement in the story.
  • Speaking to IGN, Microsoft Game Studios VP Phil Spencer said that the new Halo trilogy may span this and the next generation ("No announcement on that yet") and that the series won't necessarily become annual. Also, "we've talked about [remaking] Halo 2- I'm not putting it in or out of our bounds right now."
  • Bungie are set to reveal their new game, titled Aerospace, before July 7th!
  • Homefront developer Kaos Studios is being closed by THQ, but the publisher says we should expect announcements on the future of Homefront later this year...
