This week finally marks the long-awaited release week of the highly anticipated sequel, Batman Arkham Knight. Shortly after the 2015 E3, Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros. Interactive released the latest Arkham Insider video blog for the game, which showcased some of the E3 demo stages that were available to play for attendees during the Expo. The latest Arkham Insider video is available in the player below. The video offers a look at a new Predator stage, where Batman has to deal with some of Two-Face’s thugs as they are robbing a bank. The video shows how Batman can takedown thugs under cover from the noise of the bank alarm. In addition, Batman can now use his grappling hook to sail into vents embedded in the walls and seamlessly slide down those vent shafts into ones underground. The video also offers a look at a pursuit and chase of Batman Rogues Gallery villain Firely. Batman tracks him down to a firehouse and gives chase to the villain in the Batmobile. Firefly’s look

Warning, there will be some minor spoilers in this story for Batman Arkham Knight. During the Sony PlayStation E3 Press Conference, a new gameplay trailer was revealed for Batman Arkham Knight, which actually featured the opening cinematic sequence for the game. The opening features quite interestingly with The Joker. Don’t worry, he’s still dead, or so we think. The Joker’s diseased and dead corpse from Batman Arkham City is sent to the oven to get cremated. Then Commissioner Gordon begins a voice-over monologue. He outright says “This is the story of how Batman died.” This was one of the earlier spoiler leaks, suggesting that Batman would meet his end. However, much like in The Dark Knight Rises, it could obviously be a fake out death, but ultimately time will tell. Gordon ominously speaks of how he knew with the death of The Joker a new war was bound to come. A police officer enters a diner. The game looks to briefly start in the first-person perspective of a GCPD police

Rocksteady Studios has released video No. 5 in its Arkham Insider video blog series for the highly anticipated conclusion in the Batman: Arkham Trilogy, Batman Arkham Knight. The latest Arkham Insider video, Gotham by Night, is available in the player below. The video features new gameplay footage and an interview with the game’s Player Code Director, Adam Doherty. The latest footage offers a look at the depth of the game’s combat, including new takedowns and combos using the Batclaw gadget. Players will also be able to execute some massive height and momentum if they launch into a glide using the Batmobile’s afterburner engine. The height and size of the open-world sandbox for Gotham City in the game looks utterly fantastic and above and beyond anything the franchise has depicted before. One thing that is not too realistic though is the absolute wrecklessness by which Batman utilizes the Batmobile. There is a shot of footage in the player below where Batman summons the Batmobile and it swerves around a street corner
