Meanwhile, creative director Alastair Cornish talked to OXM about why Splash Damage is developing the multiplayer:
They came and spoke to Splash Damage, obviously we’re multiplayer specialists, we’ve been going for almost 15 years now, and it’s all we do – or almost all we do – so we’re kind of highly specialized. And then we kind of started a dialogue about what could we do, what would it look like.
We were all very passionate about the fact that this shouldn’t be a “me too” mode or a tacked-on mode. It had to be distinct, it had to be uniquely Arkham, and it had to feel like a natural growth of the single player experience.
