Rocksteady Studios has revealed some amazing toys for "Batman: Arkham Knight" gameplay, and it seems that most of the iconic ones, such as the Batarang, the grapnel gun, and the line launcher, are staying. However, fans can also look forward to new ones, as they are also expected to make appearances soon.
Although most of the gameplay fans have known about the new gadgets for awhile now, one of the more exciting reveals include the Batmobile, which is the vigilante's transportation of choice, and quite as versatile as the rest of Batman's arsenal. According to Gaz Deaves of the Rocksteady Social Marketing Manager, it's time they show their own version of the iconic car.
He told Inquistr, "Batman's car is such an important part of his identity and it's been interpreted so differently by so many different writers and creators. We really felt this sense of obligation to show what our version of the Batmobile would look like and give players the unique experience of driving that car. The Batmobile is Batman's most powerful gadget and it's useful in all kinds of ways depending on the situation."
As noted by Ecumenical News, "Arkham Knight" will be the fourth installment in Rocksteady's Batman franchise, and it will feature Kevin Conroy as The Dark Knight. According to the website, Batman in "Arkham Knight" will be at the height of his time as a vigilante, and will be facing off one of the supervillains - Scarecrow, who has already assembled many of the other villains as they try to finally defeat the caped crusader.
As for the rest of the gadgets in "Arkham Knight," Deaves also said that the gadgets will be more functional due to Gotham City's scope in the game, and similar to "Origins," it will also feature plenty of skyscrapers which means that many of the gadgets in Batman's utility belt will have mid-flight controls to help enhance the "Arkham Knight" gaming experience.
He shared, "So you can now use gadgets while you're airborne - for example, throwing batarangs into a group of thugs to thin them out before you engage on foot. Some gadgets have been upgraded in response to the bigger design decisions we made in the game. For example, the skyscrapers in Gotham city are extremely tall, so to make navigation feel more natural, we've added a new chain grapnel that allows you to quickly ascend them by grappling multiple times in quick succession."
"Batman: Arkham Knight" is going to be released on June 2, 2015, and is already available for pre-order in its official website.
