For those who haven't been keeping track, Rocksteady is already working on the sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is slated to come out next year. In the meantime, have some screens:

Kotaku - Batman: Arkham City screenshots



Given how awesome the first game was, I'm hyped

God catwoman looks HOOOOT!

Oddly enough, my favorite part about Arkham Asylum was those Riddler Challenges. I hope they include them in City, too, though I wonder if it'd be as interesting to explore as the Asylum.

And I hope that I must have a Windows Live account to save and a free DRM so I can play. Plus a few dozen extra runtime packages to cheer up the system.

(New computer too. I tried Arkham Asylum yesterday and it butchered my rig. Having the same in a city scale is going to be gruesome.)

Yo, buddy, I alredy created a thread for this while ago (just that nobody actually posted on it >.>)

Harley as Masquerade Goth = Hot (though the pics do not confirm whether she will actually be in the game or not). And hopefully Catwoman (who is also equally hot) will be a playable character (if only for a chapter or two).

We better get extra costumes, and I mean GOOD ones too.

[Kyero Fox]

Hugo Strange confirmed! O3O

I was really hoping for footage of catwoman too in that trailer, but eh.. we all know she's in it so I wont complain

[SOGESNAKE]

So let's summarize what's been confirmed for this game.....



- This is confirmed the LAST time Mark Hamill will be voicing The Joker
- Characters revealed (with their voice actor) are Riddler (Wally Wingert), Mr. Freeze (Maurice LaMarche), Talia al Ghul (Stana Katic), Two-Face, Hugo Strange (Christopher Lee), Catwoman, Victor Zsasz, Harley Quinn, and Calander Man
- Multiplayer
- Gang fights will form out for territory for their leaders (Two-Face, Joker, etc)
- Detective Mode will be changed to a more "augmented reality mode", as players in the first game had beaten the game with Detective Mode on all the time
- Fighting System will be improved (more counters, counters for thrown object, use of gadgets in combat, etc)
- Riddler's Riddles will be harder to solve, as some locations will require you to interrogate some of Riddler's lackeys
- Kevin Conroy has stated that this game is "really, really dark", comparing it to Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker

Spoiler for Arkham City Plot Summary:

The story for Arkham City takes place one year after the events of Arkham Asylum. Quincy Sharp, former warden of Arkham Asylum, has taken credit for stopping the Joker, and used that notoriety to become mayor of Gotham City. As neither Arkham nor Blackgate Prison are in any condition to hold inmates, Sharp buys out a large section of Gotham's slums and arms the perimeter with private military contractors from a group called Tyger in order to create "Arkham City". The prisoners are brought into Arkham City and are given free rein, as long as they do not attempt escape. To oversee the city, Sharp uses psychiatrist Hugo Strange who appears to have his own secret agenda for the city. Batman maintains a vigil over the city, worried that the situation may get out of hand. Part of the setup for "Arkham City" was contained in plans in a hidden room in Sharp's office in Arkham Asylum.

The events of the game are set in motion when Two-Face, seeking to gain status among the inmates and other villains outside the city, devises a plan to publicly execute Catwoman. Batman decides for both the safety of Gotham and of his past relationship with Catwoman that he must stop the execution by entering Arkham City himself.

I... don't think she'll die XD

I wanna see Black Mask and Prometeus in here.

[james0246]

A change in the Detective Mode is what I am really looking forward to. Damn blue tint nearly ruined the first game (can't wait to see a gameplay trailer at the next E3 showing us just how much the DM has changed). And the upgraded Riddler side quests sound greatly improved.

[MeoTwister5]

Yeah Arkham Asylum was a blast and I agree possibly the best comic book game to ever come out. I eagerly await Arkham City and the promise of even greater freedom.

[MrTerrorist]

Christopher Lee is Hugo Strange!?

I knew that voice sounds familiar!

[Crimrui]

One of the rare games where I don't have any doubts that it will rock. The first one was a true peace of art for me and the developers will pull this one out with no problems I'm sure.
