Batman: Arkham Knight Coming Later This Year From Rocksteady
Reviews of Batman: Arkham Origins were mixed. Some liked the familiar gameplay, while others saw it as a buggy rehash of Batman: Arkham City by Warner Brothers’ b-team. Regardless of your opinion, I think we can all agree that the series belongs in the hands of developer Rocksteady, which is just what is happening. Batman: Arkham Knight will be the final game in Rocksteady’s trilogy and feature the Scarecrow as the main villain (as hinted in Arkham City). Two-Face, the Penguin, and Harley Quinn will be in the mix, with the latter playable if you preorder, though it’s unclear if they’ll be story sections or challenge maps. Batman can also freely ride in the Batmobile, newly redesigned for this game, though reminiscent of the Tumbler from Nolan’s Batman films.
The premiere trailer is just CG, but it’s looking good, and I’m happy to see Rocksteady finally wrapping things up. I’m personally hoping that some of the dangling plot threads from Arkham City are included, such as Hush’s appearance and whatever crazy nonsense Azrael was spouting. The only catch is that this game is being built just for current consoles, skipping the older ones. Batman: Arkham Knight will release later this year on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
