New Arkham Game Batman: Arkham Knight Just Unveiled With a Batmobile and Announcement Trailer

Finally, Rocksteady, the studio behind the first two Arkham games, is coming back to the series with the next entry announced today, Batman: Arkham Knight. They’re coming back in style, too, with an all new Batmobile which seems to draw heavy inspiration from “The Tumbler” in the Dark Knight movies, because tank-driving Batman is the best Batman.

Looks like I’ll be buying a new console this year after all, because the game is coming to Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC at an unspecified date in 2014. Here you go, early adopters: this is the game you’ve been waiting for—unless you’re waiting for some other game, and then I do not understand you.

From the looks of the trailer, as well as just the inclusion of a Batmobile, it seems that the new game will feature an even more open world than Arkham City with a lot of emphasis on driving. GTA: Batman Edition? Yes, please. Where do I sign up for that?
