Announcing that 'Batman: Arkham Kight' will be released for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC on June 23, video game publisher Warner Bros. Interactive has said that the Batgirl is a playable character in the upcoming game. Moreover, this will be the first time that Rocksteady Studious, which began its journey with 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' in 2009, will be introducing a female DC Comics character in a video game.

IB Times reports that last week Warner Bros. published a post stating, "While the story of Rocksteady's 'Batman: Arkham' Trilogy will come to a close on June 23rd, we are excited to continue telling stories and delivering more content to explore and play through in the 6 months following the game's release."

The publisher also stated that the superhero Batgirl will be a playable character as part of a prequel story in "an entirely new location."

In addition, the protagonist Batman will also be playable in new story missions that feature several villains, together with story missions that support the characters in the game.

Precisely speaking, 'Batman: Arkham Knight' is the first title in the game series that allows players to drive the Batmobile. Moreover, "Arkham Knight" will also permit users to drive a variety of models of the iconic vehicle on specially made race tracks.

According to the report, 'Batman: Arkham Knight' will be the fourth as well as final installment in the "Arkham" series that started 'Batman: Arkham Asylum' in 2009 with. Initially, the release date of 'Arkham Knight' was set for October 2014, but there were rumors that the game was only 40 percent complete in May 2014. The delay in the game's release was confirmed in early June 2014.

The publisher stated that the setting of 'Arkham Knight' will be at least five times larger compared to 'Arkham City,' the second game in the series, and 20 times bigger compared to 'Arkham Asylum.'

According to Warner Bros, "We'll be building more narrative, more missions, more challenges and more characters and vehicles that we want players to experience, even though they didn't fit into the storyline of 'Batman: Arkham Knight.'"
