10 Video Game Plot Twists That Punished Loyal Fans

4. The Arkham Knight Is Jason Todd - Batman: Arkham Knight

2015 was a strange old year when it came to straight-up lying to the populace. Not only did Halo 5's Master Chief/Spartan Locke showdown materialise as a - wait for it - three minute long cutscene (WOAH THERE, HOLD ME BACK), but Rocksteady would answer their rabid fanbase who'd been trying to figure out the Arkham Knight's identity for months with... the fact he was Jason Todd.

Now, this would've been all well and good if Rocksteady weren't adamant the Knight was a "new character", routinely dropping hints that he could be anybody from Damien Wayne to a coked up Alfred who's grabbed all the gadgets in the Bat-cupboard.

In the end they took the easy way out, answering one of gaming's most fun ID-based mysteries with a suggestion your grandma could've thought up after five minutes on Google.
