Batman: Arkham Knight Announced

Warner Brothers yesterday officially announced Batman: Arkham Knight for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. The next-gen only detective game will be a sequel to Arkham City, and will be the last game in the series. Arkham Knight will take place in Gotham City proper this time around, and you’ll have access to the Batmobile to help you move from place to place. You’ll be able to get into the Batsuit once again this year.

After the shocking finale of Arkham City, crime in Gotham has dropped. People feel safe in their beds and the Bat has been able to live life a little less dangerously.

When has that ever lasted?!

The Scarecrow, Two-Face and Harley Quinn come together to cause some mayhem on the streets of Gotham, and Batman must once again come out and stop various shenanigans. Arkham Knight will take place in an open world connected by roads, which is where the Batmobile comes in. It’ll have a variety of moves, and will link up with Batman’s current abilities as well, meaning you’ll be able to use it as a means of gtting around local areas as well as wider travel. Expect every mission to end with the supervillain trying to escape, and you needing to chase them down.

Pre-ordering Arkham Knight will get you a set of Harley Quinn challenge rooms. This is the first time Quinn has been playable. The multiplayer mode that came with Arkham Origins has been dropped.

Arkham Knight will be available for purchase on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC later this year.
