Another Batman game is set to take to flight at some point this year. It’s named Batman: Arkham Insurgency. Furthermore, this would be the first time ever that WB Games Montreál has worked with the Dark Knight since the developer’s Arkham Origins. Let’s see what’s in store from another #Batman game in 2017.
1. The Narrative
Batman: Arkham Insurgency is said to occur three years after the happenings of Batman: Arkham Origins, which places it in the prequel domain. It is said to be occurring in a coastal area of Gotham City, to conceivably shake up the setting and move us far from the repetitiveness of the city’s shady, gothic districts.
In addition to this, the game’s storyline will professedly witness Batman (Roger Craig Smith) go up against the secretive Illuminati-esque Court of Owls and their pioneer, the relevantly named Owlman. However, other than going up against the Owls, a mass breakout has been organized at Blackgate Prison and Arkham Asylum. Any guesses about who’ll need to stop every one of them?
2. Characters
Batman won’t be the only one in his battle for Gotham City’s spirit. As it is, comic-book’s most noteworthy sidekick Robin will at last be a completely playable character. What’s more, this Robin is said to be the unrivalled Dick Grayson, rather than the supposed Damian Wayne.
Now with this being an Arkham game, there will be various individuals from Bats’ Rogue’s Gallery to bring down, other than the Court of Owls. Expected to be showing up in Batman: Arkham Insurgency are: Maxie Zeus, Dollmaker, Killer Moth, Anarky, Two-Face, Blockbuster, Ventriloquist, Cornelius Stirk, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Dusan al Ghul, Mad Monk, Dala and The Riddler.
The Joker (Troy Baker) will, obviously, be present in the game. Being downgraded from the main scoundrel enables the part to be fairly toyed with. With this disclosure comes an all the more ethically questionable Joker who may even assist the Dynamic Duo in circumstances if they profit his own particular loathsome tastes.
With Batman being generally new to the vigilante game, we can anticipate that he will be getting assistance from Alfred, Lucius Fox and Barb Gordon.
