Rocksteady's upcoming open world adventure game that features the caped crusader will involve the use of different combat maneuvers, one that will supplement the existing free flow mechanic that have become popular enough to be incorporated in to every "Batman Arkham" gaming title ever released since the very first title, "Batman: Arkham Asylum." Now, the developing studio has detailed additional gadgets that will be used in the upcoming title that will improve the overall gaming experience compared to the previous ones.
Gaz Deaves, who is the Social Marketing Manager for Rocksteady studios, stated to Gaming Bolt:
"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."
He continued, "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" picks off 12 months after the events of the 2011 prequel titled "Batman: Arkham City." With the Joker's death due to the Titan formula poisoning, a new threat attempts to take over Gotham which is in the form of Scarecrow and the enigmatic Arkham Knight, whose identity is yet to be deduced. The player will be controlling Batman and through the use of his futuristic Batsuit, gadgets and the Batmobile, gamers will be able to progress through the game.
"Batman: Arkham Knight" is expected to be released on June 2, 2015.
