While a Batman: Arkham City teaser trailer has been widely expected at this year's Spike Video Game Awards, it sounds as if Bat-fans will get an even earlier glimpse at what Rocksteady Studios is working on.

A new teaser for Batman: Arkham City will debut tomorrow - exclusively on MSN Games.

The announcement comes via an official tweet from MSN Tech - the UK MSN tech branch.

"Coming soon: new Batman Arkham City teaser trailer: exclusive to MSN Games http://bit.ly/dJM0k1: tomorrow Dec 8 at 2pm #arkhamcity"

Considering the UK homebase for MSN Tech, as well as Rocksteady Studios, it's important to note that the 2pm debut is in the UK timezone - which translates to 11:00am EST.

While it's unclear whether the MSN teaser will simply be an abbreviated version of what fans will see during the Spike Awards, or something altogether different, one thing is certain - new Arkham City footage is officially en route. It's also reasonable to assume that, given that fact builds have been shown to outlets, this new trailer will offer gamers a first look at the actual game in motion - as opposed to the cut-scene-only trailer from last year's VGAs.

So what can we expect, anything is possible. There's certainly a lot of content for Rocksteady Studios to tease players with Multiplayer, new villains, returning challengers - but, sadly, not a drivable Batmobile.

Batman: Arkham City, coupled with the recent titling of Christopher Nolan's third Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, has caped crusader-related anticipation at an all time high - and no one is more excited than The Joker, well the man who voices the Joker, Mark Hamill.

Our sister-site Screen Rant recently caught up with the star at the premiere of, soon to be Uncharted-director, David O. Russell’s new film The Fighter and listened as Hamill discussed Arkham City, the Joker, and his thoughts on the video game industry.
