Rocksteady has also confirmed that the game will boast a brand new arch rival that the studio has created from scratch with the help of DC Comics – this apparently, is the Arkham Knight of the title. The second was with the masked killer, Hush, who evaded capture after the player tracked him to his macabre lair.

The first was with the mysterious Azrael, who made a brief appearance if the player solved a series of etching puzzles. Who else can we expect? Rocksteady is likely to keep quiet until the E3 exhibition in June, but anyone who played through the studio’s last game will remember that Batman had two unresolved encounters in Arkham City. The article also states that Wally Winghert will return to voice The Riddler and Kevin Conroy who voiced Batman in both Rocksteady’s games and the Batman animated series from the 1990s, which be on vocal duties once again for the caped crusader. The trailer shows Two-Face, The Penguin and Harley Quinn – and according to Game Informer, Troy Baker, Nolan North and Tara Strong-Charley will lend these characters their respective voices once again. It’ll be interesting to see which other members of Batman’s rogue’s gallery will take centre stage. This premise seems to be illustrated by some of the scenes in the trailer, which shows the streets of Gotham plunging into chaos, gang members roaming the streets and the Gotham City cops on the run, outnumbered and outgunned. Indeed, the Game Informer Arkham Knight piece states that Scarecrow has discovered a new strain of the fear toxin and is threatening to gas the city resulting in a mass evacuation. They’ll also have found a shipping manifesto addressed to Crane listing several containers (contents unknown, but we’re betting it was fear gas). The seeds for this were laid in Arkham City players who searched the game’s map extensively may have found an Easter Egg in the form of a boat, which contained an Arkham inmate driven mad by fear. There’s no word on who is providing the voice that hisses “abandon this city, or I will unleash your greatest fears,” at the start of the trailer, but since fear is basically Dr John Crane’s calling card, it’s clear that Scarecrow is the game’s lead antagonist. The game’s other two antagonists, Hugo Strange and Ra’s al Ghul, also met with sticky ends, so presumably the Arkham City prison project has fallen apart. While comic book villains have a long and time-honoured tradition of coming back from the other side, Rocksteady’s Creative Director Sefton Hill confirmed at Arkham City’s launch that the clown prince of crime is gone for good – at least in the Rocksteady canon. It also means that The Joker is dead, having succumbed to blood poisoning from the Titan formula.

Maybe let that sink in for a minute, because it sounds preposterous.Īnyway, according to Warner Bros, Batman: Arkham Knight’s plot picks up after the events of Batman: Arkham City, which cancels out the rumours circulating last year that Rocksteady was about to create a Silver Age Batman game. The environment is set to be five times the size of Rocksteady’s previous game, and astonishingly, according to character artist Albert Feliu, the polygon count in one specific Arkham Knight character is bigger than that of the whole of Gotham in Arkham City.

It was here that fans discovered exactly why the title will be on PC and next-gen consoles only: scale. No surprise then, that the announcement of Arkham Knight has been greeted with breathless excitement – an excitement fuelled by the huge preview feature in Game Informer, the American magazine that tends to get the scoop on all such revelations. Also, it looked beautiful – as did the more expansive Arkham City follow-up. Alongside Christopher Nolan’s movies it explored and celebrated the dark heart of the Batman mythos. Not only did 2009 opener Arkham City rejuvenate the super hero tie-in, it also brought both depth and accessibility to the third-person beat-’em-up genre. Set to be the final Batman title from London developer Rocksteady Studios, the forthcoming title ends one of the defining action adventure series’ of the past decade. Wednesday was one of those days in the video game industry where everyone simultaneously stops what they’re doing to watch the same trailer.
