Most sequels tend to be bigger than their predecessors and its no different for Rocksteady's next Batman game. According to game director Sefton Hill, Arkham City will be about five times larger than the game world in the previous game.
“The footprint of Arkham City is about five times bigger than Arkham Island, but our primary intention was never to create a bigger game world just for the sake of it,” Hill told GameSpot.
He also goes on to talk about how even though the game will look and feel like an open world game, the next objective will always be clear so players won't become sidetracked. And that the game is not a sandbox.
“I wouldn't describe the game as ‘sandbox’ because a totally open and free-form game world would not allow us to create the kind of atmosphere that we wanted to,” Hill continued, “but we don't hold your hand either. Arkham City is its own place; a massive super prison, jam packed with supervillains, thugs, and psychopaths.”
Having just now finally played and beaten Asylum, I can't wait to get my hands on City. Rocksteady knows what they are doing with the Batman IP and this game will be legit.
