Gamescom 2013: all the stories from day two g21

True* Gamescom fact: to cope with the hordes of heroic reporters, all furiously typing about the show's latest news and announcements, the governments of the world were forced to cordon off 12% of the internet. As a result, those cat gifs you love are loading around three seconds slower than usual. Has it been worth such a high price? To find out, have a browse through our collected round-up of news from the second day. (*Not a true Gamescom fact.) Top news, chaps! Hello Commander, we've learned that Firaxis are preparing to upgrade XCOM with their newly announced Enemy Within expansion. The Binding of Isaac Rebirth gets a live action trailer. Don't worry: it's not duff. It will, however, give you nightmares. Diablo 3 will also unleash new terrors, in the dark new expansion, Reaper of Souls. Don't watch dogs, watch Watch Dogs. Tip to Ubisoft: don't make that your tagline. Praise the sun! You know, because it brings us warmth and life. Also, because there are Dark Souls 2 screenshots. Batman: Arkham Origins shows off its younger, leaner, just-as-punchy Batman in a new trailer. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 gets a release date of February 28th. It's hitting PC at the same time as consoles this time around. The original, meanwhile, will finally be with us in about a week. Not one to be left out, the punny Murdered: Soul Suspect gets a Gamescom trailer too. Remember XCOM: Enemy Within from the top of the list? If not: seek help. Is so: here are the screenshots. Yesterday's Battlefield 4 Premium trailer contained hints as to the redesigned maps due to appear in the Second Assault DLC pack. Hands-on previews, you say? Sparks go flying – and water, and fire – in Tom's hands-on preview of Magicka: Wizard Wars. Respawn's Titanfall is a bit like CoD. Only better, because there are jetpacks and mechs. Tom brings you his hands-on impressions. Stay tuned for more hot scraps of news throughout the day/night (delete as applicable). And find all our Gamescom coverage through this link.
