The Catwoman Bundle Pack is an add-on for Batman: Arkham City, requiring the base game. Released in 2011, this pack introduces a unique, playable storyline focusing on Catwoman's activities just before the main game's events, involving a confrontation with Two-Face over a stolen chip. Gameplay utilizes the core adventure and beat 'em up mechanics but from Catwoman's distinct perspective. It also includes two bonus cosmetic skins: Long Halloween and Animated Catwoman.
The core addition of this package is the ability to play as Catwoman through a distinct, self-contained story segment. This narrative focuses on her activities just prior to the events leading to the establishment of Arkham City. Specifically, the storyline details Catwoman's infiltration of a location guarded by Two-Face's thugs to steal a crucial computer chip, culminating in a direct confrontation with the villain.
Beyond the new missions, the bundle also includes cosmetic enhancements for the character, allowing players to customize her appearance during gameplay:
While utilizing the established core mechanics of the parent game—blending stealth, combat (hack and slash/beat 'em up elements), and exploration within the open-world environment—playing as Catwoman offers a different perspective on Gotham's underworld. Her unique movement style and specific gadget set allow players to approach challenges in ways distinct from the Dark Knight, providing fresh tactical options within the established adventure framework.
This content is integrated as an optional, separate narrative thread, allowing players to experience a key moment in the lore from a different protagonist's viewpoint without altering the main plot progression of the base game.
As an add-on bundle focused on a single character's side story, the scope is narrower than the main title. It serves primarily to enhance replayability and character depth by offering a focused, high-quality narrative sequence featuring a different playable character, rather than introducing massive new zones or game systems.
The content of this game is suitable for persons aged 16 years and over only. It contains: Realistic looking violence.
