The developer that made Arkham a household name is back. Rocksteady Studios' Arkham Asyluminnovated 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 ongameinformer.com. Get a sneak peek at what's in store in our coverage trailer below and come back for the 4-minute debut game trailer at 10 AM Central Time .

Loved the CGI trailer, hope Troy Baker is back as Two-Face, he was phenomenal in City.

Can't help but think though, that I'd love to see Rocksteady attack something else. Still looking forward to this one despite not touching Origins due to Batman fatigue.

I know I'd like to 'play' Harley Quinn. ;)
 
From NeoGAF

  • Last Batman game for Rocksteady, will work on something totally new next.
  • There will be a brand new villain, something made by Rocksteady that they say will be the ultimate test for Batman
  • Batmobile can be called at any moment with a button.
  • The city streets are much wider to allow for the batmobile. You will rocket jump off ramps and do all sorts of cool maneuvers.
  • You can eject jump out of the batmobile right into a super fast glide straight through the glass of a building to knock out enemies. They said glass breaking will be a big new thing.
  • New moves include being able to use all your gadgets during flight. You now have a counter throw where you counter a guy and throw him into another guy. A new quick ground takedown. A quick backflip where you then throw a batarang in an enemies face.
  • For the predator sections you can now chain takedowns of up to four enemies. For instance pop out of a grate and take one guy, jump to the next and so on. You can now enter grates from a distance, he will automatically do a jump or roll to enter them.
  • Riddler challenges seem to be car based. The first one has you enter a sort of Riddler race track where you have to activate walls and ramps, when you activate one another closes so as you drive you have to be constantly turning on and off these ramps as you navigate the course.
  • Batmobile fires missles and stun guns. It destroys anything it touches so if you bump into cars the cars go flying. It's basically unstoppable.
  • Story is that after Joker's death all the criminals decided to work together and their plan comes together this night where they plan to kill batman. The article talks mostly about Scarecrow, he scattered bombs throughout Gotham.
  • Oracle will play a larger role, you get to visit her base and talk to her, tons of batman easter eggs included.
  • Kevin Conroy is Batman, all the previous voice actors are back.
  • Gothom City is 5 times bigger than AC. Split into 3 areas. NO LOAD TIMES at all, entering buildings is seemless.
  • They spend a bunch of time talking about how detailed the models are, one character has more polygons than the environment of Asylum.
  • Batman will start off with the old batsuit and upgrade at some point in the game.
  • It says it is running on their modified Unreal engine.

So hyped for this, the first two Batman games by Rocksteady were better than the third outing.
Which i still need to get around to finishing.

Can't wait to play it on XB1/PS4
 
i love that they are giving scarecrow more time in this one, i hope for more cameo villains in this one like Mad Hatter, Tallon, Ra's or someone from the League, some better Deadshot missions. could use Clock King for times missions. but i would love to see Tallon one of the best batman stories in a while IMO.

Best news from this is the PS4/Xbone/PC only and Kevin Conroy back as batman
 
it also seems the Oct 14 place holder is getting more momentum for a real date, the last 2 Arkham games have been mid Oct dates.

and since its RockSteadys last batman game i think they will expand to the Justice League next.
 
What Batsuits would everyone want to see? They will have he New 52 one no matter what.
but i would love them to bring back Batman Beyond and Animated series Batman skins from AC.
Flashpoint Batman.
a Nolan film suit
Owl Man
Blackest Night Batman


Also hope its more than just Batman and Harley for challange maps. like in Arkham City.
