Arkham Asylum Gets Free DLC Next Week



Craving some more content from the Caped Crusader's latest and greatest videogame adventure? Look for some DLC in the coming weeks, and look for it to come for free.

Batman: Arkham Asylum seems to have won over quite a few folks out in gaming land, but the thing about gamers is that if you give them something they like, they'll just ask for more of it. Unfortunately Rocksteady Studios can't give us a sequel to Arkham Asylum just this moment - they're still not sure if people like it [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/94467-Arkham-Asylum-2-Maybe-If-People-Like-the-Game] enough to warrant it (hint: they do) - but what they can give us is some DLC.

There's already been a steady influx of supplemental content for Arkham Asylum in the form of those pre-order bonus challenge rooms, but Rocksteady has some more planned. According to a message on the news ticker at the bottom of the game's main menu, new downloadable content is due to drop nine days from today, on September 17th.

The best part, obviously, is that the content will be free. What'll it entail? Well, since it's free probably nothing too substantial. Maybe some more challenge rooms, maybe something else along those lines. An alternate Adam West costume for Batman? No, there would be too much money to be made from that to give it away for nothing.

Wait, is this the exclusive "Joker" DLC for the PS3? Or is this a whole different DLC for the game?

Hahaha...I'd like to hear Adam West's voice come out of the Dark Knights mouth...

OH! What if they add some custom missions based off the cheesy Batman TV Series!!

For what system?
Both I'm assuming. Though that would debunk my Joker theory for Xbox sadly...
Naw they will probably sell us the joker chalenges sometime in the near future. I doubt anyone would allow them to get on the 360 for free.

As far as I know it is only for the PS3.
Nah, they were advertising it on the Xbox 360 version, so it'll be for both. Of course, they could have made a mistake, like how the image advertising Arkham Asylum on the 360 dashboard is a screenshot of the PS3 exclusive downloadable content...

Well crap. Let's hope this DLC is good then.

And my hopes are raised again!
It would be really hard for it not to be good especially when you look at the price.

Awesome, I'm hoping for the Scarecrow DLC or The Joker Challenge room for Xbox. Maybe a Challenge Room featuring a Villain not in the main game? That would be cool.
Id agree with this. Facing Penguin's Goons could be quite a fun little challenge.

It'll most likely be more challenge rooms, Im hoping for a fighting challenge set in the Mansions main hall and a stealth section in the gardens but in a more garden like feel place, not the damn sewers.

It's be sweet to have the adam west batman fighting a bunch of thugs. Even sweeter would be the addition of the giant "BIFF" "WHACK" "OOF" graphics and the music.
