The sequel to the surprisingly superb release of Batman: Arkham Asylum has officially been named Batman: Arkham City. Today, Rocksteady released details surrounding the story of the game and let fans know that the title will be set in a secluded section of Gotham City that is “heavily fortified.” Gamers can also expect a new ground-breaking cast of characters that will probably exceed those of the first installment.
According to Rocksteady, Batman: Arkham City “builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security ‘home’ for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.”
Currently, we know that Joker, Cat Woman, Mr. Freeze and Two-Face will be making appearances within Gotham, so it’ll be interesting to see who else makes a cameo. Our only concern is that Rocksteady isn’t getting ahead of themselves in introducing too many mad men at once. It killed the Spiderman franchise, hopefully it doesn’t kill this one.
i dont think they’re getting ahead of them selves with the villians. Arkham asylum had about 8 villians to my knowledge
TBH, these games are one of my favorite Batman franchises.
Looks like they couldn’t fit the whole Gotham city on the disc. I’m a little disappointed. I was expecting a full Batman game(Wayne manor/ The Bat cave, police headquarters, Arkham asylum, getting a chance to pilot all the Bat vehicles etc.) instead of a small section of the city. Batman Arkham asylum was a great game but it was limited due to it taking place in Arkham. With this new game, the developers missed a golden opportunity to make the ultimate Batman game.
