Earlier today, Camouflag Games, the developers of Batman Arkham Shadow, confirmed that a few major updates would come to the game in the next few months, with this being the first. The next one is set to arrive in December and will focus on adding new voice languages, challenge maps, and a character viewer. However, the January update is the big one, as it’ll add new game+, some mixed reality content,  new predator challenge maps, and a new post-ending credit scene. What precisely that scene will be about is anyone’s guess, though the studio hiunts that it will be “lore expanding.”

Batman Arkham Shadow is now available exclusively for the Oculus Quest 3 and 3S. It’s currently being offered for “free” for new Quest 3 and Quest 3S owners.
