We got to know the price and release date details about the Batgirl DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight last week, and we now have confirmation about its story and other features as well. This new add-on content for the highly popular game will have its narrative set before the events that transpired in the first title from the series, Batman: Arkham Asylum.
The DLC is named Batgirl: A Matter of Family, and will have Commissioner Gordon’s daughter Barbara donning the Batgirl costume and teaming up with Robin. She will be up against The Joker who has managed to kidnap Commissioner Gordon, and hence the name ‘A Matter of Family.’
This Batman: Arkham Knight DLC will have the new character using hacking abilities in order to control objects and solve puzzles. She happens to be less powerful than Batman, but her hacking abilities help her get ahead according to a report by Entertainment Weekly.
The Batgirl DLC also comes equipped with the Dual Play combat system from the main game. It moreover features Harley Quinn who can be seen wearing her black and red outfit from Batman: The Animated Series. Apart from the main story, it includes side quests and collectibles as well.
Batman: Arkham Knight’s Batgirl content is being developed by the creators of Batman: Arkham Origins and not Rocksteady. It has so far only been announced for the PS4 and the Xbox One, as the PC version of the game has been pulled from circulation owing to technical issues.
