Following last week’s release of the ‘Insane Night’ downloadable map pack, Arkham Asylum fans can now look forward to grabbing the ‘Prey in the Darkness’ pack, which unleashes the caped crusader on another round of free-flowing combat and shadow-hugging stealth.
The ‘Prey in the Darkness’ expansion provides gamers with renewed mob brawling in the form of the ‘Heart of Darkness’ combat map, which takes place at the Arkham Pumping Station, while the ‘Hothouse Prey’ predator map tasks Batman with taking down foes in the Abandoned Glasshouse without being detected.
The Prey in the Darkness challenge pack is available as a free download today (Sept. 24) via the Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.
Since its retail release on August 25, Batman: Arkham Asylum has garnered considerable critical and consumer acclaim, shipping more than 2.5 million copies and earning an aggregated Metacritic score of 92/100.
“The tremendous critical and commercial success of Batman: Arkham Asylum sets a new benchmark for superhero games,” trumpeted Martin Tremblay, president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
“Rocksteady Studios created an excellent game and the sales numbers demonstrate how a powerful franchise fused with high-quality production resonates with consumers,” he added.
Compounding whispers that suggest Arkham Asylum could well be a strong candidate for ‘Game of the Year’ it has also established a Guinness World Record for being the ‘Most Critically Acclaimed Superhero Game Ever’.
