Arkham Knight introduces the Batmobile as a playable vehicle, which is used for transportation, puzzle solving and combat.ĭevelopment on Arkham Knight began in 2011 after completion of Arkham City and took place over four years. Combat focuses on chaining attacks together against numerous foes while avoiding damage, while stealth allows Batman to conceal himself around an area, using gadgets and the environment to silently eliminate enemies. The player is able to complete side missions away from the main story to unlock additional content and collectible items. Batman can freely move around the open world of Gotham City, interacting with characters and undertaking missions, and unlocking new areas by progressing through the main story or obtaining new equipment. The game is presented from a third-person perspective, with a primary focus on Batman's melee combat, stealth abilities, detective skills, and gadgets. Scarecrow, with the help of the mysterious Arkham Knight, is also able to unite Batman's greatest foes in an attempt to finally destroy Batman.
Set nine months after the events of 2011's Batman: Arkham City, the game's main storyline follows Batman as he confronts Scarecrow, who has launched an attack on Gotham City, causing a citywide evacuation. Written by Sefton Hill, Ian Ball and Martin Lancaster, Arkham Knight is inspired by the long-running comic book mythos.
Based on the DC Comics superhero Batman, it is the successor to the 2013 video game Batman: Arkham Origins, and the fourth main installment in the Batman: Arkham series. If our speculation is correct the replayability of Batman: Arkham Knight just increased tenfold, truly making this the best superhero video game ever released.Batman: Arkham Knight is a 2015 action-adventure game developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. The angle and orientation of the shot as seen in the trailer looks highly reminiscent of when the player is controlling the Batman which makes us wonder - are the villains of the game playable either via progress within the game or via DLC, as hinted by the previous announcements of a Harley Quinn and Red Hood DLC packs. As can be seen in the screen capture from the trailer (below) we see one of the games main enemies The Scarecrow, standing, with his back towards the in-game camera, with Batman's Bat-Signal highlighting what looks to be the Gotham City Poice Department building in the distance. Interestingly, some footage in the above trailer has actual peaked our interest.
All of this is promised to be delivered in an open world city with the best of Batman's Rogue Gallery of supervillains working together with the Scarecrow and the mysterious Arkham Knight to remove you as the city's guardian once and for all.
