'Batman Arkham Knight' Update: Rocksteady Revealed New Game Details For The 'Gotham City' Map! Will Superman And Lex Luthor Show Up In The Game?
It looks like Rocksteady Studios is ready to show some new details on "Batman: Arkham Knight" along with new rumors of two iconic DC comic characters that are joining the game.
According to GamingBolt, Gaz Deaves, social marketing manager of Rocksteady Studios, explained several details on what to expect in Gotham City when gamers play "Batman: Arkham Knight."
“One of the things we wanted to do with the environment for Batman: Arkham Knight is create this living, breathing, complete version of Gotham City. Our approach to game design has always been about taking the time to put a lot of care and detail into our locations because it makes the experience so much more immersive,” Deaves said.
Gaz Deaves further explained the possible size of Gotham City in the game. Deaves said, “When you play Batman: Arkham Knight, you’ll be exploring an environment around five times the size of Arkham City, but really the important thing for us isn’t so much the scale of the city: it’s the detail and care that goes into every inch of it. That’s what makes it feel like Gotham.”
Rocksteady Studios has been busy revealing new details on "Batman: Arkham Knight" since last week, from its gameplay features, new gadgets, and the batmobile features.
GamingBolt previously reported that Batman can now use his arsenal of gadgets while airborne, and the batmobile can shift between pursuit mode and battle mode depending on certain situations.
Several rumors are making rounds that Superman and Lex Luthor might show up in the last "Batman Arkham" game.
According to the Christian Today, someone from NeoGaf posted two screenshots that shows the insignia of Lex Luthor's company LexCorp during the Ace Chemical Part 3 trailer.
It is worth noting that Queen Industries has also been highlighted in to the previous Arkham game, "Batman: Arkham Origins" as it belongs to Oliver Queen a.k.a. Green Arrow. Perhaps this could be another easter egg that Rocksteady has setup for both gamers and DC comic fans.
As for Superman, the Man of Steel was rumored to join the game due to a leaked photo from the IMDB page and is reportedly voiced by veteran voice-actor George Newbern.
According to Movie Pilot, Dax Ginn from Rocksteady explained his reasons why he wanted Superman in the game.
"I’ve had a dream of us just shuttering the studio and walking away like rockstars, 'We’re done here!” Ginn said. "Our attitude is, if we deliver on Arkham Knight, smash it out of the park, the opportunities we’ll have in the future will be massive. We will be able to control our own destiny in that respect."
