The wait is long for Bat fans, very long. Indeed, after being announced for October 2014, Batman: Arkham Knight has been pushed back to June 2, 2015, which will likely allow Rocksteady to deliver one of the first big blockbusters of this PS4/Xbox One generation. To make us wait even longer, new details about the game have been revealed.
First on the scenario. If there are (fortunately) no spoilers for the main adventure, we learn that Jim Gordon expected to play an important role. Will he therefore often be present throughout the game, or should we see the possibility of playing the character during one or more phases of the game, in the same way as Catwoman in Arkham City? The studio also wanted to point out that the main enemy of this opus, Arkham Knight, is indeed a new character, and not an old one disguised like Jason Todd, the second Robin that many fans imagine under the Arkham Knight armor. . Of course, this may be an attempt by Rocksteady to cover their tracks.
Concerning the gameplay and the Batmobile, we already knew that it will offer 2 modes, one allowing you to concentrate on the road and the other on the combat. Batman’s speedster won’t stop there, since she can also deliver the final blow to an enemy. Indeed, after a good uppercut from Batman, our opponent is propelled into the air before receiving a shot from the batmobile.
The Arkham Knight Militia will have several outposts across the city that will be difficult for our Dark Knight to traverse. Unless the player takes control first! So here is something new that seems to be inspired by Ubisoft games. However, let’s hope for a little more originality.
Finally, the gameplay should be even deeper than that of Arkham City, allowing fans of the series to find a little more challenge.
