New Batman game announced on Ps4, xbone and pc.
The developer that made Arkham a household name is back. Rocksteady Studios' Arkham Asylum innovated with the freeflow combat system and stalking gameplay in 2009, and the team blew it all out to an open world in 2011's Arkham City. Rocksteady is hoping to raise the bar even higher on what will be its final Arkham game. Set after the events of Arkham City, Batman: Arkham Knight may just end the Dark Knight's journey.
As you've probably guessed from the cover imagery, the Batmobile is finally a core element of the gameplay. An entirely new area of Gotham City, far larger than Arkham City, has much wider streets to accommodate the new driving gameplay that is designed to integrate smoothly with Batman's gliding and grappling traversal. Batman chases down super villains Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, and more.
Arkham Knight will release later this year on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. We've got 14 action-packed pages loaded with the first details and a whole month of exclusive content here on gameinformer.com. Get a sneak peek at what's in store in our coverage trailer below and come back for the debut game trailer at 10 AM Central Time.
Ah...yummy! Rocksteady + batmobile.

As expected, Batman: Arkham Knight is on the cover of the next issue of US magazine Game Informer. In a brief video, members of the Rocksteady development team discuss the game, the final entry in the Arkham series.
Arkham Knight is set one year after the events of Arkham City, game director Sefton Hill said. Batman is at the peak of his powers, but he's up against all of Gotham's bad guys who are teaming up to take him down. Enemies mentioned were Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn.
Arkham Knight is set in a bigger Gotham City, with wider streets perfect for driving the Batmobile around in. "We've known it's what people want," Hill said. "It refreshes the whole experience."
Hill continued: "This is the natural end for the story. We really want to go out in style."
The game is due out later this year on PS4, Xbox One and PC.
Glad to see they're taking things to a new level with the Batmobile. Hoping for some epic chase sequences.
