So just how much of the old and new should fans of the first two Arkham games expect? Luckily, Rocksteady has now offered a few more details. The game originally pitched an evolved Batman going to-to-toe with the Scarecrow's master plan, but the arrival of familiar faces - and the brand new, titular villain - cast some doubt. Once fans got over the impressive cinematic trailer, the changes became clear: the introduction of the Batmobile, a foray into the greater Gotham City, and a brand new Batsuit.
As the saying goes: 'if it ain't broke, don't fox it.' But even as hard as it is to find lasting success in the video game industry, Rocksteady Studios showed they weren't afraid of change from the very first announcement of Batman: Arkham Knight, their finale to the Arkham trilogy.
