Heavily rumored last week, Warner Bros. Interactive officially announced today that Nightwing will be a playable character in Batman: Arkham City. According to the press release sent this morning, Nightwing will be available as DLC (downloadable content) for the game in the Nightwing Bundle Pack which will release on November 1. The pack will include Nightwing, “complete with his own unique gadget and special moves,” a bonus Animated Series character skin, and two new challenge maps: Wayne Manor and Main Hall.
Also announced, the Robin Bundle Pack, which will follow on November 22 and will contain the Boy Wonder and his two exclusive challenge maps: Black Mask Hideout and Freight Train Escape.
Both packs will retail for $6.99 on the Playstation Network and 560 Microsoft Points on the Xbox Live Marketplace.
Published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City – five times larger than the game world in Batman: Arkham Asylum – and the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new, all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.
