Batman: Arkham City: No Multiplayer Confirmation

The Dark White and Catwoman

Well, it's confirmed: Batman: Arkham City will not have Multiplayer. In a recent interview with IGN, Rocksteady Studios Game Director Sefton Hill confirmed that the game would not be including any type of Multiplayer mode.

"There have been a number of rumors circulating about a multiplayer mode in Batman: Arkham City so let me start by saying, once and for all, that Batman: Arkham City is a "single-player only" experience.

Our thought process behind this was fairly simple: when we investigated adding multiplayer we asked, "If we use all of the energy that is required to create multiplayer and instead focus this on the single player, would that deliver a better overall game?"

With the game now coming to the final stages, I can honestly say it would not have been possible to deliver Arkham City the way we wanted to if we'd have added multiplayer.

So it might not be the fashionable choice, it might not get us an extra tick on the box, but we are convinced, and we hope that gamers will agree when they get to play the finished game, that we have made the right decision.

We hope that you love Arkham City. We're working as hard as we possibly can to deliver the game you want. "

It's a Shame, but I still can't wait for the game and it's fantastic seeing that effort is being put into the production. The original was amazing, and I doubt this one will disappoint.  Read the full article here. Batman: Arkham City will be released Q3 2011.
