Warner Bros. Entertainment has given everyone a 4th of July present today with the release of a new 12-minute gameplay video of Batman: Arkham City. The new video showcases the events that took place during the game’s E3 2011 demo.
The gameplay starts out not as the Caped Crusader himself, but as Selena Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman. She is seen breaking into a decrepit court house within Arkham City and beating up a bunch of cronies.
Catwoman’s trying to steal something from a safe when we find out who’s safe it is: Harvey Dent’s. His pistol points to her head as he threatens her to put down what she’s taken, some sort of chip that can fit into a smart phone, and the scene cuts out.
It then returns to Batman, where we see him beat up thugs and solve a Riddler puzzle while on his way to rescue Kyle from the clutches of Two-Face.
To not give away any spoilers as to what comes after, we’ve provided the full trailer below and encourage you to watch it. Do note however that the name of something important to the game’s overall plot has been edited to come out as audio gibberish by Warner Bros. and Rocksteady Studios to avoid further plot spoilers.
Batman: Arkham City is set for an October 18 release for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
