Batman: Arkham Shadow Will Get New Game+ Mode In January

Batman: Arkham Shadow outlined its post-launch roadmap, confirming when to expect New Game+ Mode and more Challenge Maps.

Following last month’s high profile launch on Quest 3, we’ve known for some time that further updates would follow for Batman: Arkham Shadow, and Meta confirmed this will come in three stages.

November’s update promises UX improvements, more game over sequences and additional polish improvements for crashes and bugs. December will introduce more localised voice acting, a character viewer and new Challenge Maps. Finally, the January update adds more Predator Challenges, “MR-enhanced content,” and a new “lore expanding” post-credits scene.

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard developer Camouflaj discussing a New Game+ mode. In our recent interview with studio head Ryan Payton, we were told that a New Game+ Mode was being “seriously considered,” though the studio wasn’t ready to fully commit to it at that time.

The roadmap is welcome news for Batman: Arkham Shadow. While we had high praise in our 4.5/5 star review, considering it a worthy follow up to the flatscreen Arkham games, we noted technical issues caused several crashes during our playthrough. Since launch, a hotfix has been deployed with the aim of fixing more immediate crashing issues.

Batman: Arkham Shadow is available now exclusively for the Meta Quest 3 family, and it’s bundled for free with new Quest 3 purchases until April 30, 2025.
