Batman: Arkham City DLC coming on December 20

Although Rocksteady is likely hard at work dreaming up the next Batman game, they aren’t done with Batman: Arkham City just yet.

The Bat-developer loves the idea of downloadable content. So much so that a respectable chunk of the game, ala the Catwoman content, was available for those that purchased the game new. So it isn’t all that surprising to see Rocksteady continue to push out new content for fans that are hungry for more.

Earlier today, Rocksteady announced via its Twitter feed that a new challenge map featuring the Batcave is scheduled for December 20. Also available on the same day will be the Joker Carnival and the Iceberg Lounge, two challenge maps that were originally released as pre-order bonuses only.

Depending on how and where you purchased your copy of Batman: Arkham City, you may have some downloading to do if you want all the content. Along with the Catwoman content that was included with the game, both Nightwing and Robin challenge packs have been released. On December 6, a skin pack featuring several different looks for Batman will be released, followed on the 20th with the new challenge maps.

Rocksteady has already confirmed that there will be more Batman games in the near future, which makes sense, seeing as how Arkham City is among the year’s biggest hits.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.
