Catwoman goes missing in Batman: Arkham City, copies of the game shipped without unlock codes
Reports have emerged that many of gamers who have purchased their copies of Rocksteady’s Batman: Arkham City on launch day received their copies without the codes that would allow them to access the Catwoman content.
The build-up and hype created for the second Batman game by Rocksteady, the first being Batman: Arkham Asylum, was phenomenal with the developers teasing plenty about the game and making a large number of announcements that can be likened to Jeremy Clarkson’s,
the host of the most watched automotive television show Top Gear, ‘bombshells’.
Character reveals were made left, right and centre, most of which had everyone wondering if Rocksteady had left any character, from the Batman universe, out of the game at all.
Two of the characters revealed were the seductive Catwoman and everyone’s favourite sidekick, Robin as playable characters in the game. The former playable in the single-player campaign and the latter as part of a Downloadable Content Pack.
The first bit of bad news came in the form of the announcement that gamers could only access the Catwoman content via a code that would ship with the game and second hand buyers would have to purchase the code separately as the missions for the feline temptress
required an online pass.
However, things seem to have taken a rather bizarre twist as the retail copies of the game seem to have shipped without any Catwoman content unlock codes, with gamers instead finding a blank space where there ought to be digits.
Warner Bros., the game’s publisher, is currently looking into the curious case of the missing Catwoman codes and one should hope that their investigative skills are as good as Batman.
Yet, seeing how the company handled the Robin DLC code mishap so well, one can expect the situation to be resolved soon.
For those readers who are unaware, some of the codes for the Robin DLC turned out to not work at all and were bogus. It could be likened as an ingenious plan by the Joker to try and cross dimensions and attempt to separate Batman from his ‘boy wonder’, though
that would be stretching things a bit.
The issues with the Robin codes have been resolved and Rocksteady’s latest mission seems to be getting the Catwoman content accessible to the owners of the game who found them missing from their copies.
Batman: Arkham City has been receiving rave reviews from almost every site and it is only a matter of time before gamers can add their voices to how good or bad the game actually is.
In the meantime however, gamers will have to make do without Catwoman until Rocksteady can figure out exactly where she went.
