And yes, Rocksteady is back :O. Thoughts?

New screenshots

General Info

  • Next-gen only.
  • Single player only. No multiplayer.
  • Arkham Knight isn’t just the name of the game, it’s also the name of a brand new villain. Rocksteady is working with DC’s Geoff Johns to create the character from scratch.
  • Batman starts the game in the Arkham City suit, but gets a new costume early on.
  • Takes place in a central zone of Gotham City split into 3 islands. 5 times bigger than Arkham City.
  • The level of detail in Gotham City is some of the most impressive Game Informer has ever seen in a video game.
  • Takes place one year after Arkham City.
  • With The Joker dead, Gotham’s villains come together to try to take down Batman.
  • Scarecrow, Two-Face, Penguin, and Harley Quinn are all confirmed.
  • Kevin Conroy is back as Batman. Troy Baker is Two-Face, Nolan North is Penguin, Tara Strong is Harley Quinn, and Wally Wingert is Ridder.
  • Batman visits with Oracle in the game, she’s not just a voice in his earpiece anymore.
  • Cut scenes are all done in game, so it doesn’t feel like you’re playing a game and then watching a movie.
  • The characters are incredibly detailed. One has the polygon count of Arkham Aslyum, the whole environment.
  • Batman’s cape and character’s clothing reacts realistically to wind and movement.
  • All quick-fire gadgets can now be used during flight.
  • Batman can perform a quick ground strike to downed opponents.
  • Interrogations are back.
  • Batman can incorporate the environment into his combat combos like never before.
  • Fear takedowns allow Batman to take out multiple enemies in slow motion, as long as he isn’t spotted.
  • This is Rocksteady’s last Batman game. There will be a clear ending to their Arkham trilogy. It’s possible that WB Games Montreal may still make Batman games set in the Arkham Origins time period.

Batmobile Info

  • Rocksteady set out to make the best car in any game ever.
  • It’s so detailed it would take up the space of an entire Xbox 360 game.
  • It’s the only drive-able vehicle.
  • Players can bring the Batmobile to their location with the press of a button.
  • It can do burnouts, jumps, boosts, and even rotate in circles at a full stop to get you pointed in the right direction.
  • It can smash through barricades, trees, and building corners.
  • Batman can eject out of the Batmobile and go directly into gliding through the city.
