News: It'll be an Insane Night for the Batman this Thursday.

Eidos and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have confirmed that new downloadable content will be made available for Batman: Arkham Asylum later this week.

Two new Challenge Maps will be released as a free download for all three versions of the game (PC, PS3 and Xbox 360) on Thursday, September 17. The maps will be released in a pack known as the Insane Night Map Pack, which will include one new FreeFlow Combat map and one new Invisible Predator map.

In the СTotally Insane' FreeFlow Combat map, players will be tested to their fullest as scores of escaped lunatics bear down upon Batman as they make their escape through the asylum's secure records facility. These fast-moving foes will challenge all but the most practiced players, with quick reactions and expert timing needed to fend off wave upon wave of insane inmates, bent on taking down the Dark Knight. In the СNocturnal Hunter' Invisible Predator map, players take on a wholly different approach, practicing their predatory skills to remain in the shadows, utilizing the Arkham watchtowers and Batman's arsenal of gadgets to gain the upper hand on The Joker's army of goons patrolling below.

Batman: Arkham Asylum is currently available for the PS3 and Xbox 360. The PC version will be released in stores tomorrow.

We'll have more soon.
