Warner’s revealed Penguin will fea­ture in the upcom­ing sequel to 2009’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. Catch the reveal trailer after the break.

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, or rather The Penguin, will assume his role as the black mar­ket rack­et­eer of Arkham. The “foul fiend brings his crim­inal and fin­an­cial genius, hand-to-hand expert­ise, treach­er­ous toys and his feathered friends into the walled streets of Arkham City, with the sole aspir­a­tion of rid­ding the world of the Dark Knight.” Of course – as you’d have expec­ted – it’s your job to thwart his plans.

Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmo­spheric found­a­tion of its pre­de­cessor, by intro­du­cing an entirely new story, fea­tur­ing an all-star cast of clas­sic char­ac­ters and mur­der­ous vil­lains, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced game­play fea­tures to deliver the “ulti­mate exper­i­ence as the Dar Knight.”

Developer Rocksteady and Publisher Warner recently revealed the game would be get­ting the collector’s edi­tion treat­ment, fully equipped with a statuette of the Bat him­self.

In addi­tion, Batman’s trusty Boy Wonder side-kick Robin was recently announced as a play­able char­ac­ter in challenge-maps, assum­ing you pre-order from selec­ted retail­ers that is.

Batman: Arkham City is sched­uled for release on October 18 in North America and October 21 in Europe for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. It will addi­tion­ally see a release on Nintendo’s Wii U some­time next year.
