Arkham Asylum 'Prey in the Darkness' DLC out tomorrow photo

#Batman #DLC #Freebies #PS3 #Xbox 360

Following last week's "Insane Night Map Pack" for Batman: Arkham Asylum is the "Prey in the Darkness Map Pack." Similar to the previous free content, this bundle will contain one Combat map and one Invisible Predator map. Also, it's once again one-hundred percent free.

The "Heart of Darkness" Combat map takes place in the pumping station area of Arkham Island while the "Hothouse Prey" Invisible Predator map will be at the abandoned glasshouse. My memory must be deteriorating, because I don't really remember that first locale.

The two maps will be available on PlayStation Network exclusively in North America starting tomorrow. In the UK, the add-on is downloadable for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and should be online now.

I wish it was the other way around. I would just use my UK PS3 account to grab the download...oh well...

I keep trying to move on to another game since I've done everything in Arkham Asylum, but whenever I read about it, I keep re-evaluating another playthru on the harder difficulty. I'm addicted.

Sentry

The pumping station was that smallish, rather briefly-played area, above that largest room of the sewers, near the end of the game.

Jordan Devore

The harder difficulty is fun if only for the fact that you need to be very good at hand to hand combat since the enemy's visual attack cues are removed. I thought it struck a good balance between being frustrating and being challenging.

@Sentry - oh yeah, now I remember!

SantanaClaus89

Awesome can't wait to grab this tomorrow.

CRAZYAPE69

its alright, just mroe of the same really, but u gotta still love it. oh and @Sentry, it's not that in this, its just an electrified square floor floating.

WarZombie

Will the DLC see release here in the states on 360 at some point? 'Cause I'm considering picking this up for Xmas, and that would be sweet if it did.

Magnalon

@Jordan Grim Devore
Meh...Hard.

While the "top of the head" visual cues are gone, a huge on-screen prompt that says "press y to counter" still shows up before their attacks, and its still spammable.

Its worth a shot, I guess, but its completely doable the first time around.

Arkham Asylum DLC already....!

AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR THE GODDAMN FO3 DLC, BETHESDA. WTF.

elysse

Oh wait, bethsoft forums say FO3 DLC tomorrow! I uh... have to go now.

The way Batman sprayed the exploding gel into the shape of a bat always reminded me of the way annoyingly cutesy girls dot their i's with a heart or smiley face.

DinnertimeNinja

@Magnalon,

That message only pops up in the beginning and once you've MISSED several counter opportunities.

I just finished my hard playthrough (WOOO Platinum!) and I only encountered that counter message maybe 4 times during the whole game.

Solid Squirrel

So, an awesome game just got better and free DLC for a second week in a row? Buy them a beer, I say.
