It’s been known for some time now that players would be able to assume the role of Harley Quinn in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight in a four-map challenge pack DLC for the game.
However, that appears to have changed as a new promotional image for the game has surfaced that no longer mentions the “Exclusive 4 Challenge Maps”, replacing it instead with “in the Harley Quinn Story Pack.” The image appeared on store listings on GameSpot and elsewhere.
The rest of the wording, which reads, “Utilize her unique weapons, gadgets and abilities” remains the same. The game’s release date has been updated to 2015, from 10/14/14.
In addition to the new wording, Harley Quinn appears to be depicted by her in-game character instead of as concept art.
Check out the differences below.

The new wording seems to imply that players will be able to engage in narrative content as Harley Quinn, much as they did with the Catwoman DLC in Arkham City, or the Arkham Origins Initiation DLC. The DLC is unrelated to the Scarecrow's Nightmare DLC exclusive to the PS4 version of the game.
Batman: Arkham Knight is set for release in 2015 for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One and is framed after the events of the first three games. For the first time in the series, players will be able to drive through the city of Gotham using the Batmobile.
