Does the trailer for the upcoming video game Batman: Arkham Knight spoil the ending? It might. The game is the third in the series from Rocksteady games and supposedly the final offering. (I’ll believe that when I see it.) Now, remember that this is a TV spot, so this is obviously information the game company wants you to have. If you don’t want to know, don’t scroll down — or watch TV, apparently. Ready?
In the trailer, a voice over from Jim Gordon says, “This is how the Batman died.” Not that anyone ever really stays dead in video games or comics. I wouldn’t be too worried.
Here is the official description for the game: “Batman: Arkham Knight brings the award-winning Arkham trilogy from Rocksteady Studios to its epic conclusion. Developed exclusively for New-Gen platforms, Batman: Arkham Knight introduces Rocksteady’s uniquely designed version of the Batmobile. The highly anticipated addition of this legendary vehicle, combined with the acclaimed gameplay of the Arkham series, offers gamers the ultimate and complete Batman experience as they tear through the streets and soar across the skyline of the entirety of Gotham City. In this explosive finale, Batman faces the ultimate threat against the city that he is sworn to protect, as Scarecrow returns to unite the super criminals of Gotham and destroy the Batman forever.
Batman: Arkham Knight will be available on June 23.
