Following on from the enormous success of Batman: Arkham Asylum and the also excellent Batman: Arkham City there was the red headed step child of the series; Batman: Arkham Origins. Made by a new team for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC the game felt rushed and wasn’t received well by fans or critics. Then came the big announcement. Rocksteady; the team behind the first two Batman games, was working on a new title; Batman: Arkham Knight.

 

The game was announced specifically for the next generation of consoles; Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. By making that decision the game was allowed to harness the full power of the consoles – without making concessions for older hardware. The game is stunning as a result; the level of detail in the world is simply incredible. The game is scheduled to released in June of this year, but don’t be surprised to see it slip back towards the Winter.
