Screenshots for Batman: Arkham Knight show of the Dark Knight’s newest enemy

By Ryan Fleming Published April 24, 2023

Rocksteady’s upcoming Batman: Arkham Knight may be the developer’s last foray into the world of Batman, but the studio seems to be planning on going out with a bang. Where the previous Arkham games, including WB Montreal’s Batman: Arkham Origins, all took established pieces of the Batman DC universe and crafted a new story around them, Arkham Knight is trying something different.

Batman: Arkham Knight introduces an original character in the Arkham Knight, one of the game’s main antagonists (although we still don’t know much about him yet). According to Rocksteady, this character is unique to the Arkham universe, and is a completely original creation from the developer. For a closer look at the game and how the new character is introduced, check out our recent preview.

Along with shots of the Knight in action, you can also check out some new looks at Batman from the upcoming game, as well as the newly remodeled Gotham City designed for next-gen systems. Batman: Arkham Knight hits PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 14, 2014.

A man stands on a rock in Atomfall.

March is a great month for Xbox Game Pass, with multiple day-one drops including 33 Immortals and Atomfall, as well as even more titles coming to Game Pass Standard.

We'll have a full list of the titles you should binge while you still can at the end of this story.

The worst video game sequels of all time

Metal Gear Survive review

While not always the case, it is generally expected that a game series gets better with each installment. In theory, the developers are able to become more efficient, try out new ideas, and polish their games to a greater extent to make better sequels. Many of the best PS5 games, best Xbox Series X games, and best Switch games are all entries in long-running series, after all. But there are plenty of examples of when a sequel to a hit game comes out and completely disappoints its fans. Some are fortunate enough to just be forgotten and left in the past, while others are so catastrophic that they end up killing their franchise. Let's look back at some of the worst video game sequels of all time, not to replay them, but to hopefully learn from their mistakes.

There are a lot more upcoming video game sequels, but hopefully none end up on this list.

A monster attacks in Ark: Survival Evolved.

Ark fans can rest easy: the sequel to the popular game is still in development, and we just received indirect confirmation that it's on the way from an unlikely source. A new trailer for Ark: Lost Colony, the upcoming expansion to Ark: Survival Ascended, gives players a look at the next steps in the story and its description tells us a little more about the much-anticipated sequel.

"Confront the demons of Arat Prime -- birthplace of the ARKs -- in ASA's first massive canonical expansion pack, Ark Lost Colony! Starring Michelle Yeoh as Mei Yin in cinematic anime sequences by legendary Japanese studio Mappa, the epic new story of Ark Lost Colony bridges the gap from Ark Extinction to Ark Genesis and into the world of Ark 2," the description reads.
