Microsoft Unveils Custom BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY Xbox 360

The company behind the Xbox 360 has a special treat in store for Batman fans attending PAX Prime this week in Seattle. A custom Batman: Arkham City edition Xbox 360 will be given away at the gaming convention.

Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City – five times larger than the game world in Batman: Arkham Asylum – and the new maximum security “home” for all of Gotham City’s thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds. Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new, all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Batman: Arkham City will release on October 18 in North America, October 19 in Australia, and October 21 in Europe. The game is set to release for PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. For fans that couldn't make it to PAX Prime, the official Xbox Facebook page advises that you pay close attention for your chance to win one of the custom Arkham City Xbox 360s.
