Set in a visually stunning rendition of Gotham City, made possible through next-gen technology, Rocksteady used the new tools available to them to expand upon the formula created in Batman Arkham Asylum extensively; the game's narrative depth, coupled with its fluid combat mechanics, dynamic stealth, and innovative Batmobile gameplay, offers a truly cinematic experience that keeps players engaged from start to finish. Batman: Arkham Knight remains a standout experience in the gaming landscape, which will likely never be replicated ever again; however, With such a quality product that's used as a benchmark for many superhero games today, it makes one wonder how Rocksteady managed to create such a high-quality product, despite the newer-gen consoles still being in their infancy upon release. Let's look at the early development of Batman Arkham Knight, Its interesting cut mechanics, the artistic development of Gotham City, the many pieces of cut story content, and the exciting enemy types that never made it to the final product.
