Gameplay[]
- Gotham
Arkham Knight takes place in an all-new central zone of Gotham City split into three islands, an area roughly five times the size of the map in Arkham City. Barbara Gordon's base of operations is the clock tower.
- Combat
Batman's grapple gun has been upgraded to Mark III, and his line launcher now has the capability to be used while gliding, creating instant perch points and ziplines. All quickfire gadgets have also been upgraded to be used mid-flight. Batman can also pick up weapons and use them against his enemies. Another upgrade for Batman is the ability to perform a quick-ground takedown. Batman is also able to burst through glass surfaces while gliding. When being attacked, Batman can now counter by throwing his assailant at another goon.
- Enemies
Normal goons now have the ability to charge, a tactic previously exclusive to larger enemies.
- Batmobile
Batman can summon the Batmobile to his position. The vehicle itself can do burnouts, jumps, boosts, and rotate in circles. The Batmobile is bulletproof, allowing it to smash through barricades, trees and building corners.
In the game, there are 18 side missions that Batman can defeat villains. Four of them are exclusive if The Season of Infamy is purchased.
