Batman: Arkham City brings 40 hours of content

Director for Batman: Arkham City, Sefton Hill revealed in a recent interview that the Batman sequel takes over 25 hours to complete, with 15 hours of additional, optional, side-quests.

“It takes over 25 hours to complete the main stories in Batman: Arkham City. To keep players engaged for this length of time, not only do the characters and the story need to progress, but the core mechanics of the game they are playing need to change and adapt as well. The side missions in Batman: Arkham City are a good example. We have around 15 hours of story that’s off the main path.”, said Hill.

He also talked about creating a game that they themselves were excited about. “The beauty of video game development is that the potential for new ideas is incredible”. “The industry is so aggressively creative that the parameters of what is even possible changes every few years. It’s what makes working in this industry so challenging, competitive and rewarding”, says Hill.

Batman Arkham City will release here in New Zealand on October 20th.
