Batman: Arkham Knight

The last Arkham game we'll ever get

YouTube video

In late February 2014, marketing material to be displayed at GameStop, was leaked depicting a new logo for the series, featuring the Arkham "bat" logo with flames around the edges. Kotaku noted they were told the material was not supposed to be displayed until March 3, which they added correlated with a known Rocksteady press event that occurred earlier in February, that had an embargo on the information discussed until March.

Batman: Arkham Knight was announced in early March. It will be developed by Rocksteady, and will release on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows in late 2014. The game, set one year after the events of Arkham City, is intended to be the final Arkham game by Rocksteady. The game features a larger Gotham than the one seen in Arkham City, in order to incorporate the Batmobile, which will be playable for the first time in the series. Batman will face the Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and more.

Well hell, the trailer was badass. I took a break from the series, skipping Origins. I hope they do enough to entice me back into it though.

How dare you skip Origins???uhuh

I like that we get to drive the batmobile...bout f*ckin' time biscuits

I read that the main story is possibly going to have something to do with Knight Fall. I know that Rocksteady had been working on this game for a long time and thats why they didn't have anything to do with Origins. Although, did anyone notice how big a role Bane had in Origins? Maybe that was the plan all along. Let another studio put out a game that places Bane in a spot light while Rocksteady works on a game that specifically stars him.

I can't wait to find out more!

EDIT: This is a Next Gen and PC only game.

I know, it sucks cause now I gotta guy a PS4 and that's cheap right now

I think its a stupid move to excluded the previous Gen especially since lots of people aren't able to afford them. I was able to sell my PS3 and 360 with a ton of extra games and accessories around Christmas to afford my Xbone...so im set. 😛

...I've never hated you more than I do now uhuh

Guess I'll just have to save up, I think it'll be a while till this one...maybe October/November time at least

Yes give in to the hate!

According to a recent post I read, the release date will be October 14th. I can't vouch for the validity of that date but we shall see. Makes sense though. All the previous games were released between Sept-Nov.

This looks badass. Looking forward to getting Conroy back!

Origins was good, but not on par with the other games, I felt. Lacked the atmosphere of the first two, and just felt a lot more bland, to me. Quality narrative, though.

I can't wait for this one.

I agree with Backfire. Origins wasn't as tight as the previous games. Something was off about it.

I am looking forward to this one though. Next gen and done by Rocksteady...sign me up!

Covers for the game. I'll be getting it on PS4 of course.

So Harley's the pre-order character this time? Meeeh! Will probably give her a try, but doubt I'll enjoy using her as much as Slade. ermm

And yeah, seems sweet that you'll be able to use the batmobile. Cool concepts of it so far.

Just hope you can still use the batwing as a fast travel accessory. If not, oh well.

Glad I'll be having something Batman to look forward to this year too, but seeing as how Origins just came out last year... I hope this doesn't become a trend with yearly releases like Assassin's Creed and the like.

It's the last Arkham game so no yearly releases for Batman, and considering this is a sequel to Arkham city then Conroy should definitely be back. It'll be weird not having Joker in this one though.

Where did you get that this would be the last Arkham game? 🤨 Somehow I doubt that. They might say that now, but then later some other team might make a game that's after Origins but before Asylum or something, to milk the successful franchise.

If it is Conroy, I'll be glad to have him back too, though Bat's Origins voice grew on me as well. And you never know with the Joker; not everyone thought he would've been in Origins at first and that Black Mask being the main villain was just a front.

Well I guess it said the final arkham game developed by Rocksteady, I was under the impression this'd be the last one but I guess another studio could take it up like with origins

And yeah Conroy is back for this one. Since this is a sequel to Arkham city then Jokers dead...but they could resurrect him some how I guess

I hope they keep things like the new dective vision but drop that stupid mutiplayer entirely. The rocksteady franchise Has been entirely single player and I don't want them to mess that up.
