Available on August 7, the demo will cover the start of the game when Batman and Commissioner Gordon transfer The Joker to the infamous prison for the criminally insane. However, The Joker has set a trap for Batman resulting in the full force of Arkham's inmates being unleashed on the caped crusader.
In the taster, players will get the chance to experience the FreeFlow combat system, the Invisible Predator stealth mechanic and Batman's detective abilities.
Gamers will also be able to unlock character bios and get a sneak peak of the famous enemies that they will come up against in the full game, including Bane, Killer Croc, Harley Quinn and the recently-revealed Scarecrow.
Batman: Arkham Asylum will be released on August 28. Read our hands-on with the game here.
