Rocksteady Studios is planning to unveil the final installment of their "Batman Arkham" trilogy later this year. The new Batman game is expected to be released on the Microsoft Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4 video game systems.

Thanks to the power of the brand new next-gen gaming consoles, the game features a lot of improvements from the previous Batman games. One of the major innovations of by the gaming company is the inclusion of a playable Batmobile, the most iconic vehicle in DC Comics history.

"That was one of the key factors in designing Gotham City. It needed to be a playground that fulfills that fantasy of driving that iconic vehicle," said Dax Ginn, Brand Marketing Producer for Rocksteady Studios, to Polygon at last week's GDC event. "(After Arkham City,) we were thinking about, 'Where do we go next? How do we fulfill that ultimate Batman power fantasy?' For us, the Batmobile was the final piece of the puzzle. We've been wanting to do it for a long time, but really needed next-gen horsepower to pull that off."

The new addition of the Batmobile is another noteworthy feature for Arkham Knight. The vehicle will be drivable for the first time ever in the series. In addition, Batman's most signature vehicle can shoot immobilizing missiles that can be fired at any time. Furthermore, the vehicle can eject Batman at so he can be able to grapple or glide throughout Gotham City. Moreover, Riddler's challenges will now take advantage of the new Batmobile gameplay, which will test gamers driving skills.

The game is set one year after the events from Batman: Arkham City. Batman: Arkham Knight takes place in a more heavily populated part of Gotham City, which is nearly five times the size of Arkham City. New generation hardware allowed Rocksteady to add more to its world, including riots of 50 or more on-screen characters.

"At any given time, there are between three to five times the number of thugs active in Gotham City than there were in Arkham City," said Tim Hanagan, lead AI and combat programmer, in a previous interview with Game Informer Magazine.

Batman will battle some super villains from the franchise's legendary rogue's gallery: Scarecrow, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn to name a few in the upcoming game. Quinn is also available in the new game as a playable character via pre-order.

Batman: Arkham Knight will be available for PC, Xbox One, and PS4 later this year.
