The Bat Family makes their video game debut in this co-op adventure.

Most appealing aspect here is to play co-op. I may have skipped the last few Batman games like this, but I will definitely give this a shot playing with my buddy next to me!

The first of 3 new gameplay videos, now with actual gameplay.

So this is what Rocksteady's been doing for the last 3 years? Looks pretty amazing. Coming in June 2015!

From the youtube description:

ACE Chemicals Part 1: Infiltration the first of three new gameplay videos from Batman™: Arkham Knight. All feature Batman learning about his new foe--- the Arkham Knight---as he enters ACE Chemicals. The video highlights new game features including the new “Fear Takedown” maneuver, as well as the seamless integration of the Batmobile into gameplay and Combat Mode.

Watch as Batman takes on Arkham Knight’s henchmen to rescue the remaining ACE Chemicals plant workers and stop Arkham Knight from executing The Scarecrow’s plans.

Gameinformer reveals their April cover, and we finally know what Rocksteady's been up to for the last couple of years.

Another Arkham game? Yup. But this time Rocksteady's back... also, drivable Batmobile. Oh, and did I mention, no last gen support... PC, PS4, and Xbox One only.

Check out the cover art:

In the explosive finale to the Arkham series, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city he is sworn to protect. The Scarecrow returns to unite an impressive roster of super villains, including Penguin, Two-Face and Harley Quinn, to destroy The Dark Knight forever.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady's uniquely designed version of the Batmobile, which is drivable for the first time in the franchise. The addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Batman Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City.

Be The Batman.

And another surprise... It's due out this year. There's a trailer up too... it's just CG, no actual game play. It does show the roster of villians and the Batmobile though, and pre-order bonus of playing as Harley Quinn (in the challange maps).

A new adventure in the Arkham series comes October 25 worldwide. This time a prequel shows us how some of the characters and locations came to be.

From the description: Batman: Arkham Origins features an expanded Gotham City and introduces an original prequel storyline occurring several years before the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Taking place before the rise of Gotham City's most dangerous villains and assassins, the game showcases a young, raw, unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, witness identities being formed and key relationships being forged.

Game-Informer has released it's latest issue with the caped crusader Batman on the cover. Officially announcing that the Batman origin story is coming titled "Batman: Arkham Origins.

The third game in the Arkham series is set for a prequel origin story. This time it will be developed by Warner Montreal and not Rocksteady Studios who's famed for the first two games.

The game takes place before Arkham Asylum and features a younger Batman facing off against some of the most dangerous super villains for the first time. Deathstroke is being shown on the back cover of the Game-Informer magazine.

The lead designer of Prototype and The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, Eric Holmes will be the creative director of Batman: Arkham Origins.

Batman: Arkham Origins is scheduled for release this October for current generation consoles.
