Dual Play
A gameplay walkthrough posted reveals "Arkham Knight's" dual play system. In the video, the Dark Knight teams up with Nightwing to take down Penguin's band of gang members. A classic Batman-bursts-from-the-ceiling scene ensues, followed by the brawl gameplay made popular by the "Arkham" series, with the player controlling Batman, and AI takes the reins on Nightwing. However, with a simple button press, the player immediately takes control of Nightwing, with the AI now fighting as the Dark Knight. Fortunately, the combo bar carries along with the change of character, allowing players to unleash a succession of combo attacks without interruption, even when jumping from one character to the next.
The Disruptor
Another update that came sometime mid-May is about one of the newest weapons in "Arkham Knight's" arsenal. The Disruptor is a versatile and long-ranged weapon that denies enemies use of their guns while in battle. Yes, the Dark Knight still won't resort to using a gun, and he'll go to any extremes to ensure that. The weapon has three charges when first equipped, and it can do one of a variety of effects, including jamming weapons, tagging them, rigging them to shock their weilders, and even downright explode in the baddies' faces.
Badass Villains
The Arkham series has always done a magnificent job with remastering and even downright re-imagining Batman villains. "Arkham Knight" throws players into a game with a creepy-looking Scarecrow with tubes and vials of his fear gas running throughout his costume. Harley Quinn gets a new doll-like costume and a new toy to go along with it. Anti-hero Jason Todd also gets a badass new gear, trading in his shiny red mask and sleek leather jacket for a full suit of armor.
