Confirmed: Batman: Arkham City to Have Multiplayer

According to the popular UK magazine, PSM3, Batman: Arkham City will be adding a multiplayer mode to the series. This news will certainly bring some fans to the forefront kicking and screaming that multiplayer doesn't fit with this sort of Action/Adventure game, especially since the single player, Batman: Arkham Asylum succeeded without it. Rocksteady, the developer of the new Batman games, obviously feels that they need to make their way into the multiplayer arena: "Multiplayer is a certainty. Not details on this yet."

Rumors have been running rampart the past couple weeks that Catwoman will be a playable co-op character, fighting alongside The Caped Crusader throughout the campaign. These rumors began after the release of a previous GameInformer magazine which touted both action figures on the cover, which was featuring Arkham City. If these rumors are true, at least we won't have to deal with Robin, The Boy Wonder.

It should tell you something that gamers would rather play as a girl than Robin... hopefully Rocksteady knows that, too.

Batman: Arkham City is scheduled for release sometime next year, and is speculated to drop during the Fall months of 2011.
