To the Batmobile!
[dropcap size=small]B[/dropcap]atman Arkham Knight had a trailer released recently, which showed off some of Gotham’s most notorious villains, Scarecrow and Two-Face. In addition, the trailer revealed that Robin and Nightwing will appear as Batman’s sidekicks. Catwoman also fights alongside Nightwing and Robin, and all characters can be seen doing tag-team moves. Arkham Knight will include a feature called Dual Play which allows players to,
“seamlessly switch between The Dark Knight and his allies including Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman in free-flow combat.”
[dropcap size=small]T[/dropcap]his feature is similar GTA V’s character switching, in which you can freely switch between characters. Along with the other characters, Azreal is also featured in the trailer. Arkham Knight is likely to receive an M rating, or 18 certificate in the U.K., unlike any other game in the franchise. This suggests a much darker tone for Arkham Knight.
[dropcap size=small]I[/dropcap]n a recent interview, Sefton Hill, CEO of Rockstar Games talked about the challenges of creating a darker game. After Warner Brothers conducted a rating analysis, they said they believed the game would receive an M rating. Warner Brothers says some scenes contain “issues” that needed to be removed. Hill was informed he had to remove them, although, after warning a DC Comic’s Executive that it would ruin the game if they removed these scenes, they were allowed to stay. Hill also stated,
“We’re not including gratuitous blood or swearing.”
Arkham Knight is going to be released June 23rd for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
