Batman: Arkham Knight is the final game of Rocksteady's Arkham series, developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It was released on PS4, Xbox One and Windows on 23 June 2015 and on Nintendo Switch on 1 December 2023. On Halloween, Scarecrow threatens Gotham with fear toxin and bombs, the citizens are evacuated and Batman faces a militia led by the Arkham Knight.
The open-world Gotham is made up of three islands: Bleake Island, Miagani Island and Founders' Island. The Batmobile can be summoned on foot or while gliding, and has a Pursuit mode for travel and a Battle mode that turns it into a tank with a Vulcan cannon, a 60mm cannon, anti-tank missiles and a riot suppressor. Freeflow combat chains strikes, counters and dodges, and Fear Takedowns let Batman subdue up to five undetected enemies in a row. Side content includes Most Wanted missions and 243 Riddler challenges.
Mark Hamill voices the Joker, who appears to Batman as a mental projection produced by infected blood and fear toxin. DLC includes the story packs Harley Quinn and Red Hood, Batgirl: A Matter of Family (July 2015), the Arkham Episodes GCPD Lockdown, Catwoman's Revenge and A Flip of a Coin, and Season of Infamy (December 2015), plus challenge packs, skins and Batmobiles.
