[Simo]

Created by Arkham Origins’ developer WB Games Montreal, the DLC takes place in an entirely new area called the Seagate Amusement Park, a nautical theme park built on top of an oil rig that the Joker has rigged to be a massive death trap. “We wanted to recreate the feeling of being trapped in a bizarre and unique open environment playing a game of cat and mouse with the Joker,” says design producer Justin Vazquez.

The expansion incorporates Arkham Knight’s Dual Play system that allows the player to switch characters at the press of a button, and culminates in an epic tag-team throwdown between Batgirl and Robin and the Joker and Harley Quinn. “Seeing these four iconic characters together at the same time will be a real thrill,” Vazquez says. And for the first time in the Arkham series, Harley will be sporting her trademark black and red ensemble from Batman: The Animated Series.

The DLC features side quests, collectibles left behind by the Joker, and Easter eggs for hardcore DC Comics fans. “[It’s] a love letter to the original game that started this incredible franchise,” Vazquez says. “Batgirl: A Matter of Family” launches July 14 for Arkham Knight DLC ­season-pass holders (PS4 and Xbox One, $40), or it can be purchased separately on July 21 for $6.99.

You can see a oil rig off in the harbor between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City...possibly the location for said DLC?

 

[BronsonLee]

...Entertainment Weekly got this one?

 

[Luigi87]

Liking the news that we will finally see classic Harley.

 

[Simo]

...Entertainment Weekly got this one?

Yeah as part of their Comic Con coverage. lol They are owned by WB after all.

 

[G-Fex]

There's no other villains besides ...Joker?

 

[bobawesome]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this one.

 

[Garrett Hawke]

Hmmm.... here for it tbh.

Also, I'm loving all these female led DLCs. It just needs to bleed itself into $60 releases now!

 

[Katori]

Huh, I liked the suit in its cameo appearance in the game, but this...huh.

Looking okay, I'd probably buy it if I could play the main game.

 

[gigantor21]

Yeah as part of their Comic Con coverage. lol They are owned by WB after all.

Huh, didn't know that.

 

[Boke1879]

Harley in her orginal outfit? IM ALL FUCKING IN ON THIS

 

[SuperDowns]

...Entertainment Weekly got this one?

Yea that's super weird.

 

[toastyToast]

This is encouraging

The DLC features side quests, collectibles left behind by the Joker, and Easter eggs for hardcore DC Comics fans. “[

Might not be 10 minutes long.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Bought the season pass on PC, hopefully they drop the PC version of this at the same time as the consoles, regardless of the issues with the base game they're having.

 

[BronsonLee]

Yeah as part of their Comic Con coverage. lol They are owned by WB after all.

Son of a...
Synergy. It's real!

 

[CryptiK]

You can see the oil rig in the game currently as well. And yay as a PC owner I get screwed.

 

[stephen08]

And for the first time in the Arkham series,

Spoiler

Harley will be sporting her trademark black and red ensemble from Batman: The Animated Series.

WHAT

DLC HYPE REIGNITED

It sounds cool, but it seems like a lot of content for $7. I hope it delivers.

 

[Eolz]

Seems nice, cautiously optimistic too

Spoiler

inb4 complains about heels

 

[Toki767]

$7? That seems surprisingly cheap. Was honestly thinking they'd sell it for $10 at least.

 

[BronsonLee]

$7? That seems surprisingly cheap. Was honestly thinking they'd sell it for $10 at least.

That's a pretty good value. Some Blazblue chars were 7$ on their own, ya?

 

[Ikuu]

I'm sure they'll still find a way to get some batmobile sections into this.

 

[N° 2048]

Might actually get the season's pass for this. Looks great

 

[nckillthegrimace]

There's no other villains besides ...Joker?

Apparently, there are new villains in some of the other DLC. Whether that means returning characters from the other games, I don't know.

 

[Mesoian]

I wonder if it'll be longer than 10 minutes...

 

[Simo]

There's no other villains besides ...Joker?

There's a riddle and case file in Arkham Knight that likely ties in to this.

Spoiler

It talks about Barbara as Batgirl having to rescue Commissioner Gordon who was taken hostage by The Joker.

 

[Toki767]

That's a pretty good value. Some Blazblue chars were 7$ on their own, ya?

Only curiosity is how long it is. The Harley Quinn and Red Hood DLC packs weren't exactly super long themselves. If this is like an hour or two it'd certainly be worth it.

 

[Papercuts]

Harley in her classic outfit is cool. Curious to see how that translates ingame actually.

 

[emrober5]

$7? That seems surprisingly cheap. Was honestly thinking they'd sell it for $10 at least.

Seeing this price makes me think it will be VERY short.

I'm in though, sounds good.

 

[Shauni]

Liking the news that we will finally see classic Harley.

You'll get some version of shitty Arkham Quinn and you'll like it.

EDIT: I'm an idiot, totally missed where it was confirmed. I thought people were just speculating based on it being in the past. Yes, that is good then. The classic suit trumps any of the Arkham or recent revisions by a good deal.

 

[Sou Da]

WHAT

DLC HYPE REIGNITED

It sounds cool, but it seems like a lot of content for $7. I hope it delivers.

You know they're going to make it look really trashy right?

 

[Klyka]

You can see a oil rig off in the harbor between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City...possibly the location for said DLC?[/QUOTE]

That Oil Rig actually has a Ferris Wheel on it which already made me question if it was a reference to anything.

Now I know why it's there.

 

[Hexa]

I really want to see Harley's costume. That's what I'm most excited about for this.

 

[Messypandas]

Yeah as part of their Comic Con coverage. lol They are owned by WB after all.

Huh... I wonder if that explains the Terminator Genysis coverage looking like total shit. Even considering the movie.

 

[CaptainTiptop]

A love letter to Arkham Asylum? I'm liking the sound of this DLC more and more.

 

[PtM]

I thought the Joker was burnt meat.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

the Joker

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK you

 

[Toki767]

A love letter to Arkham Asylum? I'm liking the sound of this DLC more and more.

Well the trophy list for the DLC is out already. There are Joker teeth to smash like in Arkham Asylum.

 

[Boke1879]

I thought the Joker was burnt meat.

If Harley is in her classic outfit. This is before Asylum.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

WB Montreal the gawd

 

[Shauni]

I thought the Joker was burnt meat.

This is set before Knight, and any of the other games except maybe Origins presumably. Barbara is, you know...walking and all.

 

[Palette Swap]

Still hoping this Robin isn't Tim.

 

[Kinyou]

This sounds pretty good, but I think I'll wait and see what the other season pass content will look like. If it's all great, it would have been stupid to buy each dlc individually, and if it all sucks, it would have been stupid to buy the season pass.

 

[stephen08]

You know they're going to make it look really trashy right?

They might, but until they do there is always hope.

 

[Regginator]

I suppose it'll end with

Spoiler

Joker shooting and paralysing Barbara

?

 

[shiftplusone]

launches July 14 for Arkham Knight DLC ­season-pass holders (PS4 and Xbox One, $40)

ahaha

fuck you too then

 

[Klyka]

This is set between Origins and before Asylum.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Still hoping this Robin isn't Tim.

Who was robin in/before asylum?

 

[Alienous]

Seeing this price makes me think it will be VERY short.

I'm in though, sounds good.

Cold, Cold Heart was $9.99, and that was pretty significant DLC also made by Warner Bros Montreal.

 

[Simo]

Probably worth mentioning but someone on gaf data mined some of the game files and found some costumes possibly relating to the DLC like alt outfits for Batgirl including her New 52, Classic '66 TV show and The Animated Series outfit:

Ditto for Robin too.

 

[Joey Ravn]

I'll gladly play it!

... when the PC version works.

 

[Boke1879]

ahaha

fuck you too then

The DLC itself is 7 bucks. Season pass is 40
