Since MultiVersus fully launched in May, the game has gone through 3 "seasons," adding new characters and content around a seasonal battle pass. Season 4 is due to start on November 12, and it will add Raven, a fan-favorite character from Teen Titans, and Marceline, the vampire queen from Adventure Time to the roster of unlockable characters. The update also promises a new team-based competitive mode called Arena and two new maps.
If you like the Kingdom series of 2D strategy/resource management games, you're in luck. Kingdom: Two Crowns recently got a DLC expansion, and now a developer called Brain Seal has released a similar game called Monarchy. In Monarchy, one or two local players will work to build a base, gather resources, and fend off raiders in a colorful 2D setting. It looks easy and the controls are simple, but there's a lot of depth behind this crown.

People still love SNK's Neo Geo system after all these years. The arcade and home hardware produced games with a memorable and unique look. Nalua Studio is keeping the dream alive, then, by launching Vengeance Hunters on both Neo Geo hardware and modern systems.

Earlier this year, Digital Eclipse and Atari announced two DLC expansions for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, the comprehensive collection of Atari games and documentary content. The first DLC, "The Wilder World of Atari," arrived at the end of September. The second DLC, "The First Console War," will launch on November 8.

The original Shadow of the Ninja (Dark Operative Kage in Japan) is a cult classic NES game from Natsume. Released in 1990, it featured 2-player local co-op – a rarity for 8-bit platformers.

Do you like thicc metal bois with laser arms? Have I got a game for you. The Co-Opticrew is jumping into a preview build of MechWarrior 5: Clans tackling two missions and talking about some of the new stuff that's being brought to the table.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is one of the most popular beat 'em ups of the last few years, so it came as no surprise when the game received a DLC entitled "Dimension Shellshock."

No press release was sent out, and the DLC doesn't seem to be available just yet. Update: The DLC went live on September 24!
Back in June, Atari announced that paid DLC for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration was in the works, along with an Expanded Edition that will bundle the original collection and DLC. At last, that DLC is close to being released. it's coming out on September 26, and it's called "The Wider World of Atari."
