Batman: Arkham Asylum Coming Soon

News | July 31, 2009 2:58 pm

Published by: Eidos Interactive
Developed by: Rocksteady Studios
Release Date: August 25, 2009
Genre: Action


In Batman: Arkham Asylum the player assumes the role of Batman as he delivers The Joker to Arkham Asylum. There, the imprisoned super-villains have set a trap and an immersive combat gaming experience unfolds. With an original script penned by Emmy Award-winning Batman writer Paul Dini, the game brings the universe of DC Comics' detective to life!

Batman: Arkham Asylum exposes players to a unique, dark and atmospheric adventure that takes them to the depths of Arkham Asylum -- Gotham's psychiatric hospital for the criminally insane. Gamers will move in the shadows, instigate fear amongst their enemies and confront The Joker and Gotham City's most notorious villains who have taken over the asylum. Using a wide range of Batman's gadgets and abilities, players will become the invisible predator and attempt to foil The Joker's demented scheme.

Batman
Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, Batman is the superhero star of the long-running DC Comics series since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939. Batman's secret identity is Bruce Wayne, the wealthy industrialist who dedicated his life to fighting crime after seeing his parents murdered.

Joker (DC Comics)
The Joker is a character from the Batman comic-book series.

He’s certainly the most famous of Batman’s foes, and he has a good claim to being the greatest comic-book villain of all time. The Clown Prince of Crime (as he called himself in his campy 1960s incarnation) could probably get away with calling himself a legitimate cultural icon.

General Features
Utilize the unique FreeFlow combat system to chain together unlimited combos seamlessly and battle with huge groups of The Joker's henchmen in brutal melee brawls.
Investigate as Batman, the World's Greatest Detective, by solving intricate puzzles with the help of cutting edge forensic tools including x-ray scanning, fingerprint scans, 'Amido Black' spray and a pheromone tracker.
Face off against Gotham’s greatest villains including The Joker, Harley Quinn, Victor Zsasz and Killer Croc.
Become the Invisible Predator with Batman's fear takedowns and unique vantage point system to move without being seen and hunt enemies.
Choose multiple takedown methods, including swooping from the sky and smashing through walls, and use the predator camera get a closer look at the action.
Explore every inch of Arkham Asylum and roam freely on the infamous island, presented for the first time ever in its gritty and realistic entirety.
Experience what it's like to be Batman using Batarangs, explosive gel aerosol, The Batclaw, sonar resonator and the line launcher.
Unlock more secrets by completing hidden challenges in the world and develop and customize equipment by earning experience points.
Enjoy complete superhero freedom in the environment with the use of Batman's grapple to get to any place you can see, jump from any height and glide in any direction.

Is it possible to keep this thread (EDIT) posts that aren't relevant to the game (EDIT) free? Most of these comments had no business being here.

Hektic was the one who published the article. The only people who can publish their own articles are staff. Whether or not this is really late is irrelevant as the only people who you should be mad at would be Hektic or me for not publishing an article sooner.

Everyone should keep their personal problems with anyone else personal not smear them all over the forums and bore the hell out of the rest of us. PM a mod or the senior staff writer (Hektic) if you don't think the article should be up at all.

Other than being a little behind its a good article. I am curious to see if they actually release it on this date or if it will be delayed again.

(EDIT) This is a news article not a regular thread so it has to be published by a staff member. The fact that the writers are supposed to take care of the news and no article had been published previously means it is partially my fault. Flaming was a wrong word to use but it appeared everyone was picking on KnuckPuck for no good reason. (EDIT)

Hey guys thanks for the defense, but we're really getting this thread off track again. :) Its supposed to be news and that's what I want it to stay :D

As for some (still late) news. About a week ago they announced that there will be an additional challenge map featuring the Scarecrow's army of skeletons. It will be available for those who preorder the game through Gamestop.
