Rocksteady recently took a poll to allow the gaming community to decide which content from "Arkham Asylum" and "Arkham City" would make it into the upcoming Community Challenge Pack DLC for "Batman:Arkham Knight," which is scheduled to release in January next year.

According to a report from Gamespot, over 800 responses were taken into consideration and the developers have now announced what the DLC pack would offer. In total there is only one map taken from "Arkham Asylum" and one directly from "Arkham Knight" while the remaining four are pulled from "Arkham City."

The maps will be included in Predator and Combat challenges and are distributed as follows:

Predator Maps:

  • Wayne Manor Main Hall (Batman: Arkham City)
  • Batcave (Batman: Arkham City)
  • Sanatorium, Medical Facility (Batman: Arkham Asylum)

Combat Challenges:

  • Iceberg Lounge (Batman: Arkham City)
  • Crime Alley (Batman: Arkham Knight)
  • Monarch Theatre (Batman: Arkham City)

Thus far the only image revealed is the screenshot of Wayne Manor. Gamespot reports that more images and videos of the maps in action are expected to release as the release date for the DLC draws near. 

Another addition in the DLC pack is the game's seventh AR challenge, which was also drawn in from player feedback.

"We've been listening to you guys and one of the most interesting ideas the community has had is for an endless survival predator map," the developers explained. "We made a prototype and ended up really liking it, so we're bringing it to you in January."

No specific release date has yet been announced and it is uncertain at this point if the Community Challenge Pack DLC is a part of the $40 season pass. However, it is pointed out that PC players, who have experienced a rocky launch for the game, will get the DLC a little bit earlier compared to Xbox One and PS4 players.
