Batman: Arkham City Pre-Order DLC Coming to XBL Next Month
Written Sunday, November 27, 2011 By Richard Walker
View author's profile

If you're a Batman: Arkham City completist and are still pining after the rest of the pre-order DLC to add to your collection, then you'll be happy to see that the slow drip feed of extra content is gradually coming, with the next batch of Riddler's Revenge Challenge Rooms slated for December.

"Brand new DLC coming December 20th with all new Batcave. Joker's Carnival and the Iceberg Lounge also available to download then!" tweeted Arkham City News.

So, that's three new Challenge Rooms to check out next month, although there are no further details on the DLC and prices have yet to be confirmed. Next up, can we have all of those pre-order Batman skins please?!

[Thanks, Marcus]

I love the combat in Arkham City but enough with the challenge room already. I really hope we get an announcement about some story DLC soon.

would really love some story line DLC's, to avoid mentioning spoilers, to continue off some of the side missions.

I also wish they added a DLC for Robin and Nightwing's involvement in the story.(I know Nightwing had no importance in Arkham City, but they could be a bit imaginative)

What is it with their obsession with challenge room DLC? Are they allergic to campaign DLC?? It just seems like a shame for a game with such a great single player campaign to not be focusing on expanding on that. I just don't get it; Whoever is thinking this stuff up doesn't seem to have much imagination.

For the record, I have nothing against the challenge maps, I just think they made their point already with that stuff. They could make a killing with some campaign content.

Why did they not have the all the skins avaliable as DLC on release day? I have 100% on the Batman stuff, and now have no reason to get the skins. Rocksteady really blew it here, they could have sold a lot more skins if they had them available much earlier.

Dear Rocksteady,

I want to give you my money so bad for your DLC. You refuse to understand that not everyone is crazy about your challenge rooms, let alone repeating 4+ times. Let us do something else in your incredible game and not segment that to one specific thing.

Sincerely,

Disappointed

Dear number 13 (and everyone else acting a bit silly over this being announced, especially you, 9)

Would you prefer it that Rocksteady, in the future, choose to NEVER release the preorder bonus DLC on the marketplace? Theres lots of companies that don't ever release their pre order stuff at all, ever, meaning the ability to have it in your game on an unmodded console is permanently lost to you. The game has only been out for a little over a month, to have released all this preorder stuff any sooner kinda takes out the 'specialness' of getting it for a preorder bonus, dont you think? Or maybe you'd rather wait over a year like for the Red Dead preorder DLC?

Personally, I'd rather it get released with the option of me buying it than it never getting released at all. Im not saying people are wrong in wanting story DLC or something other than challenge maps, but calm down. ONE MONTH the game has been out. Thats all. And everyone always gets friggen up in arms whenever DLC is announced that quickly, just take a quick look around here.

This is just horrible... This game has been out for less than a month, and there has been numerous crappy dlc's that should have probably been included in the game. This will be the last time I purchase a WB published game.

@15 I think we are interpreting this is two different ways. I agree that allowing everyone the preorder DLC is great. That is a whole different story and something I as a gamer appreciate (ex - LA Noire). The continual challenge room DLC and the addition of more challenge rooms feels like they are putting salt on the wound, so to speak. It is great to see a developer supporting their game post release, but I personally feel those who are craving more challenge rooms and/or repeating the same ones over and over are in the small minority.

I consider myself to be a completionist in games and find enjoyment in gathering trophies and obtaining achievements. When it gets to be a chore and it seems like the developer is shoveling things out like this it becomes hard to support that developer.

@9 it was well publicized that the preorder DLC would be made public after release, and these challenge maps arent even preoreder DLC they were given with the steelbook editions wether you preordered or not.

F U Rocksteady. I buy the game on release date and get zero extra outfits for Batman, all because I didn't preorder from the correct store. You cheap hookers couln't of made at least one extra outfit for Batman thats available to eveyone who gets the game. Let me think, what Batman game did have multiple outfits... OH YEAH, ARKHAM ASYLUM.

@20

But these challenge rooms ARE the pre order dlc. Its not necessarily them wasting time on making more challenge rooms that people dont want, its them releasing (for a fee) the things people got as bonuses for putting down advanced cash with certain retailers.

So people should just nod and smile and go 'More challenge rooms aren't for me' but theres no reason to complain about the fact that its only taking a month or two and they're releasing every bit of pre order stuff to the public.

@24

What are you talking about? I didnt have multiple outfits with Arkham Asylum, just the armoured suit at the end that everyone got for beating the game. In fact... there was a few different costumes you could get only as pre order bonuses, and those, ahem, were never released as DLC to to the public. At least you'll be able to buy all of the alternate costumes for AC in a month for 5 bucks. All for 5, not 5 each. Is that really such a reason to yell at RS?

We didn't get a few pre-order bonuses that we were supposed to when we picked up the game so my brother will be happy about this. We love the challenge rooms a lot. Now if only Saints 3 will release their pre-order bonus that they forgot to include in my game case and was the only reason why I decided to pre-order instead of waiting for it... :/

For someone w/o the game, it's irritating to see all the dlc as challenge room stuff. Just seems like a crappy way to feed the fans. From what I understand, it's all pretty much the same with different characters. Seems like a cheap way to "extend the experience."

I want a DLC story for Robin which takes place what happens before he meets up with Batman and after.

And I want another story DLC with Nightwing where you have to go after Deathstroke.

And I would not mind another one with Huntress.

Maybe even some Villain story missions.

Only 3 maps ? and combat/challenge rooms like we don't have enough ? Common can't they just give it for free.

Look at EPIC who gave for free 5 new GOW3 maps, thats nice, not like all new games now who get rich with their stupid tiny DLCs.

I hope there aren't achievements with this. I'd hate to pay for two maps I already have to get the Batcave. Plus, after doing Batman, Catwoman and Nightwing (now working on Robin), I am a little spent on the challenge maps.

Although the Black Mask Combat was a bit refreshing in it's uniqueness.

The ONLY kind of story DLC I could possibly think of Rocksteady doing is if they did a "What if..." kind of thing and changed some parts around and even the ending. But I don't see that happening. As gamers, we're not entitled to anything and should be happy these developers support their games with ANY kind of content after the game his store shelves.

I love Batman AC, I love predator mode and I love the combat.
But after all Challenges with Batman, Robin, Catwoman and Nightwing, more challenge rooms isn't what I'm looking for.

Give us DLC that enable Nightwing and Robin into the campaign and free roam. Give us more Batman stuff in the campaign. Enough with the damn challenge rooms already.

@54 I don't know about that, Robin story DLC would be absolutely viable, they already proved they can tie in another character's story with Batman's in the Catwoman DLC. So why not Robin?

I don't feel entitled to anything, just saying story DLC would be nice and is not outside the realm of possibility.

So, I suppose that means that those of us who pre-ordered the collector's edition through GameStop are kind of screwed then? Cause we've already got two of those three maps, and there is no way in hell I'm going to buy them when I got them for free just to play the Batcave one.
