It looks like the sequel to the popular Batman Arkham Asylum has just been announced. It will be called Batman Arkham City, and will be available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC in the fall of 2011.
Batman Arkham City is being developed by Rocksteady Studios, Warner Bros Interactive, and DC Entertainment, and it will be set in Gotham’s new maximum security prison.
Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
New Features and Enhancements
Batman Arkham City promises to build upon the solid foundation laid by its predecessor, Batman Arkham Asylum. Players can expect a more expansive open-world environment, allowing for greater exploration and interaction within Gotham City. The game will feature a variety of new gadgets and tools at Batman’s disposal, enhancing both combat and stealth mechanics.
One of the most exciting additions is the inclusion of new playable characters. Catwoman, for instance, will have her own storyline and unique set of abilities, providing a fresh perspective on the game’s events. The developers have also hinted at the possibility of other characters from the Batman universe making appearances, either as allies or adversaries.
Storyline and Characters
The storyline of Batman Arkham City is set to be darker and more complex than its predecessor. The plot revolves around the transformation of a section of Gotham City into a massive prison, where criminals roam freely under the watchful eye of the enigmatic Hugo Strange. Batman must navigate this dangerous environment, uncovering a sinister plot that threatens the entire city.
The game will feature a host of iconic villains, including the Joker, Two-Face, and the Riddler, each with their own unique challenges and missions. The interactions between Batman and these characters are expected to be more dynamic and impactful, adding depth to the narrative.
