I'm Running Out Of Catchy Asylum Titles

First real details are now available about Batman: Arkham Asylum's upcoming sequel, Arkham City. There will be information regarding the story in here, so if you don't want to know, move on to a different post. It looks like the mayoral campaign of Quincy Sharp didn't go so well as he is apparently not mayor or warden of Arkham Asylum. In fact, both Arkham Asylum and Black Gate Prison are no longer in any condition to hold inmates, who now wander an area of the city that Sharp has walled off and turned into... *drumroll*... Arkham City. The city will be under the control of Hugo Strange, but the game will revolve around Two-Face as he attempts to kill Catwoman to swing the population of criminals and villains to his favour. Seems like more than even the Dark Knight could handle... Luckily we'll be well equipped to take on Arkham City's inhabitants, as right from the start you'll be equipped with all of the gadgets gained in Arkham Asylum plus smoke bombs because... Well, who DOESN'T love smoke bombs. Other new features will include the ability to counter two enemies at once, gangs who free-roam the city and are recorded in the criminal database and to add to the whole experience, you'll now be able to take part in side missions (which also includes Riddler Challenges). All this info is thanks to the great people over at the Arkham City Blog who leaked the info from the upcoming issue of Game Informer.
