Sony is preparing to release its all-new PS VR this month, and a lot of players are looking forward to seeing some of the titles that will be released alongside it. One of the most-anticipated titles included in this release is the "Batman: Arkham VR (Virtual Reality)" game, which allows players to become the Dark Knight himself and take down wicked villains.

According to the Game Rant, there is little known information about the upcoming VR game, but thankfully, a recent interview with Dax Ginn — one of the people at Rocksteady — gives aspiring players an idea of the rough duration of the game's campaign. Ginn said that the main story of the "Arkham VR" game will only last about an hour, but for those who want a complete experience, the game will have 90 minutes worth of more content that could be unlocked as they progress through the game.

However, after everything, the game still offers less than three hours' worth of gameplay, an amount of time that most players would under normal circumstances complain about due to lack of content. The game will most likely have a lee-way, though, as Virtual Reality is still considered to be a relatively new technology, and as such with its two and a half long gameplay, most players could at least find it acceptable.

Furthermore, IGN reports that it is the first time for Rocksteady to speak specifically about their game's length. This is understandable as it is not billed on the same level as the core "Batman: Arkham" games. Regardless, while the game lacks substantial game time, the sheer amount of details put into each level will give players a lot of reasons to play through the game not just once but multiple times to see everything it has to offer.

"Batman: Arkham VR" will be released on Oct. 13 along with the PS VR for only $20.
