The critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Asylum returns in a revamped Game of the Year Edition with four extra Challenge Maps. The additional maps include Nocturnal Hunter, Totally Insane, Scarecrow Nightmare, and Crime Alley (both from the Insane Night Map Pack).

Batman can freely roam the grounds of Arkham Asylum, talking with residents, completing tasks, and unlocking new locations as he moves through the main story or acquires new gadgets.

Use the one-of-a-kind FreeFlow combat engine to chain together endless combos fluidly while engaging in brutal melee fights with the Joker's henchmen in large-scale battles.

Investigate as Batman, the world's greatest detective, and use cutting-edge forensic tools like x-ray scanning, fingerprint scanning, "Amido Black" spray, and a pheromone tracker to crack challenging cases. The game's third-person perspective highlights Batman's combat, stealth, and investigative abilities, as well as his use of tools for both fighting and exploration.

Be the Hero

• The player controls Batman as he travels through Arkham Asylum, a prison for criminally insane people off the shore of Gotham City.
• The player has the option of using "Detective Vision," a visual mode that provides context information by colouring the game world blue and emphasizing interactive elements like removable grates and destructible walls, as well as the number of enemies present and their status (such as whether they are aware of Batman's presence), as well as showing civilians and dead bodies. Additionally, the mode is used to follow footprints, look into smells, and solve riddles.
• The first several levels of the game are sequential and act as a tutorial for the player's available manoeuvres and strategies. Although some regions of the game world are unavailable until specific points in the main tale, players are free to explore them after they get on the island.

Major Highlights

• Take on some of Gotham's most evil characters, like The Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Killer Croc.
• Using Batman's fear takedowns and unique vantage point system, you may travel about without being spotted and hunt down foes to become the Invisible Predator.
• Solving hidden challenges around the environment can uncover new mysteries and grow and personalize your equipment by gaining experience points.
• Use Batman's grapnel weapon to get anywhere you can see, hop from any height, and float in any direction. This gives you full superhero mobility in the world.
