While Batman: Arkham Asylum might have been almost perfect in every other way, it was conspicuously missing a New Game Plus mode, meaning all subsequent replays included that tedious business of getting a bunch of gadgets into your pockets.
The sequel won’t be making the same mistake, though. In a recent video interview with GTTV, Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn confirms that Batman: Arkham City features a New Game Plus mode, allowing vicarious vigilantes to start over with all their stuff from the last go. Let bat-joy be unconfined.
According to Ginn, you’ll “need” it the second time around. That’s because enemy configurations will change up, and impending impact notifications will be removed.
“You’ll have to read their animations coming in,” Ginn said. Just like real life.
Batman: Arkham City launches on PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on 21 October 2011, with a Wii U version to follow up sometime in 2012.
