Batman: Arkham Shadow Drops New Update & Soundtrack

The team behind Batman: Arkham Shadow gave the game a major update this week, while also releasing the game's soundtrack

Camouflaj and Oculus Studio dropped a new update this week for Batman: Arkham Shadow, giving the game some much-needed love in many areas. Simply known as Update V1.4, the VR title has added new maps, fixed difficulty, improved a number of mechanics, and squashed a lot of bugs. Much of it is attributed to player feedback. At the same time, the team released the game's soundtrack, along with a special blog talking about it, and a video (seen above) that looks over the making of it. We have more notes on the update for you below.
