Batman: Arkham City is a 2011 action-adventure game developed
by Rocksteady Studios and
published by Warner Bros.
Interactive Entertainment. Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the sequel to the 2009 video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and
the second installment in the Batman: Arkham series. Written by veteran Batman writer Paul Dini with Paul Crocker and Sefton Hill, Arkham City was inspired by the
long-running comic book mythos. In the game's main storyline,
Batman is incarcerated in Arkham City, a super-prison enclosing the decaying
urban slums of fictional Gotham City. He must uncover the secret behind a sinister
scheme orchestrated by the facility's warden, Hugo Strange. The game's leading characters are predominantly
voiced by actors from the DC Animated Universe,
with Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill reprising their roles as Batman and the Joker, respectively. The game is presented from the third-person perspective with
a primary focus on Batman's combat and stealth abilities, detective skills, and
gadgets that can be used in both combat and exploration. Batman can freely move
around the Arkham City prison, interacting with characters and undertaking
missions, and unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or
obtaining new equipment. The player is able to complete side missions away from
the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Batman's
ally Catwoman is another playable character, featuring her own
story campaign that runs parallel to the game's main plot. Rocksteady conceived
ideas for a sequel while developing Arkham Asylum, commencing
serious development of Arkham City's story in February 2009. The
layout of Arkham City has a virtual footprint five times that of Arkham
Asylum, and the city design was modified to accommodate Batman's ability to
swoop and glide. Over a year and $10 million were spent on the game's marketing
campaign, and its release was accompanied by two music albums; one containing
the game's score, and the other featuring 11 original songs inspired by the
game from various mainstream artists. Arkham City was released
worldwide for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 video game consoles in October 2011, followed by
a Microsoft Windows version
a month later. The game received critical acclaim, particularly for its
narrative, character and world designs, soundtrack, and Batman's combat and
navigation abilities. It was tied for the highest-rated video game of 2011
according to review aggregator Metacritic, and was the recipient of several awards from media
outlets, including Game of the Year, Best Action Game, Best Action Adventure
Game, Best Adventure Game, and Best Original Score. Like its predecessor, it is
considered one of the greatest
video games of all time. A spin-off mobile game, Batman: Arkham City
Lockdown was released in December. Arkham City has
received several re-releases, comprising: a Game of the Year edition
in May 2012; Wii U and OS X versions
in November and December 2012, respectively; and a remastered version for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2016. A prequel to the series, Batman: Arkham Origins,
was released in October 2013, and a narrative sequel, Batman: Arkham Knight,
was released in June 2015.
