Release Date: June 23 2015 It would be an understatement of sorts to merely state that the Batman Arkham games have been "successful." These titles have emerged as behemoths of the industry, garnering overwhelmingly popular critical reviews and great commercial success. Is there any reason to doubt that the fourth instalment, Arkham Knight, will be any different? Set a year after the events of Arkham City, Arkham Knight will see Batman going up against the Scarecrow as the latter attempts to unite the Caped Crusader's worst enemies in a bid to end him once and for all - including a new and terrifying foe. And guess what? This time players will be able to drive the freakin' Batmobile, which is as good a reason as any to assume this game will garner 10/10 reviews (also: there are apparently no loading times, either, which is frankly genius). The hype surrounding Arkham Knight is kind of immense, of course, and from what has been unveiled so far, things are looking incredibly positive. There's no reason why Arkham Knight won't be the best Arkham game ever, after all - especially since the environment is five times bigger than that of the open-air Arkham City prison. What a playground!
