After a leak just 30 minutes ago, the official confirmation for Batman: Arkham Knight has been made via magazine GameInformer, which dedicates its cover story to the latest adventures of the Caped Crusader.

Batman made a stunning impact on the gaming industry with 2009's Arkham Asylum, and developer Rocksteady quickly improved on the experience with 2011's Arkham City.

After last year's Arkham Origins coming from Warner Bros. Montreal, Rocksteady is coming back with Batman: Arkham Knight.

Just like the leak suggested, the new title has been confirmed by Game Informer to be the closing chapter in the Arkham series, although Batman may return in other video games after this one.

The open world of Gotham has been drastically expanded with a new zone and, more importantly, wide streets, so that players can not only glide over the city but also use the Batmobile, or rather a really aggressive version of the vehicle we got to see in Arkahm Asylum.

Besides sharing the new pieces of artwork available in the gallery below, the magazine also confirmed that Arkham Knight would see Batman take on famous super villains like Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, or Harley Quinn.

The game launches this year for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Expect more details from Rocksteady soon.
