Expect About 40 Hours Of Batman: Arkham City
How many sweaty hours do you think you could last in the Dark Knight’s rubbery armor? How about 40? According to Rocksteady, the game’s main story will be about 25 hours long, with side missions racking up another 15.
"It takes over 25 hours to complete the main stories in Batman: Arkham City,” said game director Sefton Hill during a chat with The Guardian. “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."
Naturally, you want to read more about Arkham City after reading this great news, so by all means, be our guest.
