Batgirl: A Matter of Family Trailer Revealed

New 'Arkham Knight' DLC Details Emerge

By Alex Burns



Following the release of 'Batman: Arkham Knight' we now have updates on the roll-out of downloadable content for the game. First up is Batgirl: A Matter of Family and Rocksteady have revealed the first trailer for the Arkham Episode and we're more than excited to share it with you, check it out in the video below.


The episode takes place before the vents of the first game in the series Batman: Arkham Asylum and sees Barbara Gordon don the Batgirl costume in order to save her father, Commissioner Gordon from the mad clutches of the Joker. Batgirl will be aided by Robin in this adventure and the duo will have to make their way through a Joker designed nautical themed amusement park/deathtrap to reach the Commissioner. 


Rocksteady have detailed that although Batgirl won’t be able to match the strength gamers are used to when playing as the dark knight there will be a balance to her physical abilities and computer hacking skills coming together in a powerful combination. The Dual Play function from “Arkham Knight” will also return to the delight of many fans, Batgirl and Robin join forces and players will be given total control in a tag-team match-up against The Joker and Harley Quinn. Another awesome detail is that Harley Quinn will be wearing her original costume from “Batman: The Animated Series” for the first time in the Arkham series! The Episode has been created by “Arkham Origins” developers WB Games Montreal, who also brought us the Red Hood and Harley Quinn story packs.

“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 Justin Vazquez, design producer of the DLC. “Our intention was that Batgirl should be less powerful than Batman, but that Batgirl plus hacking could give her opportunities do things that not even Batman can pull off.”


The DLC comes complete with additional side quests, Joker Collectibles and even more Easter Eggs, Batgirl: A Matter of Family will debut July 14 for Arkham Knight DLC ­season-pass holders (PS4 and Xbox One) or separately on July 21
