14 DAY TRIAL // Batman: Arkham Knight developer Rocksteady confirms that the game's story gains another interesting dimension by incorporating the Caped Crusader's allies in a bigger way than in previous titles. As such, expect to see interesting things with Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, and many others.
Batman: Arkham Knight is set to be the concluding chapter in the action-adventure saga made by Rocksteady Studios, and the studio promises to deliver a lot of brand new things to really emphasize the final chapter of the series.
Batman's allies are more important in Arkham Knight
While the main story sees Batman go up against old and new villains, ranging from Scarecrow to Two-Face, Riddler, or the all-new Arkham Knight, it will also offer bigger roles to the allies of the famous hero. These include powerful characters like Nightwing, Robin, Catwoman, but also crucial ones like Oracle, Commissioner Gordon or Alfred.
Besides really emphasizing the team that backs up the Caped Crusader, the allies also create new interesting developments for the story, probably because they can't deal with the villains in the same way as Batman.
Secondary characters will flesh out Batman's personality
Rocksteady's Dax Ginn explains to Gamespot that Batman's personality will be explored even further thanks to his companions.
"Batman's allies become more important, but his allies aren't as capable as him, and they get drawn into the crossfire that surrounds him because of the decisions he has made about the war he has brought upon himself through his own moral compass. This is a fascinating aspect of Batman's personality that we haven't covered at all in the previous games. It's a much more personal story than we've ever told before," he says.
Batman: Arkham Knight is set to debut on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on June 23, so expect to see a lot of more details appear in the following weeks from Rocksteady and publisher Warner Bros.
