It looks like new updates and game details for Rocksteady Studio's last Arkham game, Batman: Arkham Knight have been revealed.
We start of with the new game details surrounding Batman: Arkham Knight. According to reports from GamingBolt, Gaz Deaves, social marketing manager for Rocksteady Studios, talked about the new gadgets that Batman can utilize in certain situations.
“One of the best things about working with Batman is thinking of new ways to use gadgets to solve problems. We haven’t talked about the new gadgets that we’re adding to Batman’s utility belt yet, but on top of all the new tools you’ll have access to, one of the things we wanted to do this time is expand on how some of our classic Arkham gadgets can be deployed," Deaves said.
“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.”
GamingBolt further adds the importance of the Batmobile in the game, besides being Batman's personal transportation.
“The Batmobile is Batman’s most powerful gadget, and it’s useful in all kinds of ways depending on the situation. Pursuit Mode gives you access to the afterburner and ejector seat – you’ll be using it to get across the city quickly, and also to chase down suspects and outrun hostile forces. Battle Mode raises the Batmobile’s turret, making the heavy weaponry available. In Battle Mode you can also activate the car’s gadgets like the power winch, which can be used to manipulate the environment by pulling up ramps, tearing down obstacles, and more.”
Deaves said, “The Batmobile is an essential ally for Batman in dealing with the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. There will be points in the game where players will need it to deal with some of the challenges, and some parts where you don’t have access to it – but you’ll probably wish you did!”

Lastly, lazygamer.net revealed what could be a clue on who Arkham Knight really is in the game. Darryn Bonthuys of lazygamer hinted that Jason Todd a.k.a. The Red Hood could be Arkham Knight in game's latest toyline. Action Figure Insider took a photo of both the Arkham Knight, and Red Hood action figures.
If you look closely, they have the same pair of hand guns. Could this be a coincidence? Perhaps, but its still not enough to prove that Jason Todd is the new villain in the game.
