10 Upcoming Open World Games We're Most Excited For

5. Batman: Arkham Knight

Arkham Knight, the extremely highly anticipated conclusion to Rocksteady's Arkham trilogy, is due out on October 14, 2014 for exclusively next-gen consoles, meaning a lot of people will have to start buying PS4's and Xbox Ones! Expanding to a game world 5 times bigger than Arkham City and a staggeringly 25 times bigger than Arkham Asylum, Arkham Knight is bound to be stuffed full of exciting side missions and hundreds of Easter Eggs. Unlike other installments in the Arkham universe, the Joker is dead and other villains are finally banding together to defeat Batman instead of fighting amongst themselves. The Scarecrow is back after his absence in Arkham City and is ready to drown Gotham in his fear toxin, meaning Batman will have to work harder than ever to save the city he loves. Arkham Knight's game world is set in the entirety of Gotham City over several connected islands, and thus will feature completely new areas as opposed to half of Arkham Origins' being the recycled Arkham City map. The addition of the Batmobile means that travel will be faster than ever before and the use of next-generation consoles for the first time in the series indicates that the city will be truly massive and filled with exciting things to do. Long live the Batman!
