Batman: Arkham City gets 'New Game Plus' mode
When players complete Batman's latest Rocksteady-developed adventure, Arkham City, they will be able to play the game again while retaining all of their upgrades and unlocks in a New Game Plus mode.
When players complete Batman's latest Rocksteady-developed adventure, they can look forward to replaying the game without being forced through the game's gadget progression system.
Rocksteady's Dax Ginn has revealed that Batman: Arkham City will feature a 'New Game Plus' mode, allowing players to begin the adventure again with everything they've collected, upgraded, and unlocked available to them.
According to Ginn, you'll "need" all the help you can get in the second playthrough because all enemy configurations will change in the second journey. Also changing? Enemy impact notifications, meaning no more icons to show players when an enemy is about to strike.
"You'll have to read their animations coming in," Ginn told GTTV.
Batman: Arkham City comes out for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on October 18th.

After we mentioned it last week, Warner Bros got in touch with us with the sad clarification: "Just to confirm, Arkham City is a GFWL title."-

^ this, as you will notice, any GFWL game lately has been releasing "codes" for their DLC on steam. So DLC is still handled through GFWL, but you can buy it on Steam, and thats all valve cares about.

So did the last one. Whoopee....

This is awesome!!!

This might be one of the rare games to warrant a second play-through. Please don't suck!

NG+ is an amazing thing. Demon's Souls nailed it by raising the difficulty to 11.

DMC's difficulty levels were designed around the fact that you needed your upgrades in the unlocked harder modes. It was also impossible to upgrade everything in one play through so you're still upgrading during your second, third or possibly even fourth play through. DMC4 was excellently balanced for this.
I also liked the original Ninja Gaiden's difficulty, nothing was carried over on harder difficulties but enemy types and item placement was totally different. Both games had lots of replay value.

This is exactly what I was looking forward to while completing my first playthrough of Arkham Asylum... then once I did and returned to the main menu I couldn't believe this feature didn't exist.

Shame about the actress for Harley Quinn. This new lady is not so great.

Why, what happened?

Well, I don't think it was her in the first game either.

It was her. For some undisclosed reason, she wouldn't do this one.
