Batman: Arkham City will not have Multiplayer

[Gikoku]

Well this is a surprise, in a recent interview on IGN with Rocksteady dev Sefton Hill, it was revealed that no form of multiplayer will exist in Batman: AC, not even Co-op. Sefton then added the reasoning behind this decision, "I can honestly say it would not have been possible to deliver Arkham City the way we wanted to if we'd have added multiplayer." Probably for the best when you think about it, Rocksteady is now able to put all focus to one thing and allow for a well-polished single-player experience rather than providing players with a tacked on multiplayer.​

I always hated games that have half-assed multi-player tacked on. Bioshock 2 had it as did Deadspace 2. I applaud them for focusing on solely on the single-player aspect of the game rather than spreading the effort and resources out on developing a multi-player mode as well.

Same opinion as Tsuyu and this is most welcome news, concentrate on crafting another fantastic single player experience.
