Batman: Arkham Knight will not feature multiplayer in the upcoming Batman game, but it does include the return of legendary Batman: The Animated Series voice actor Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman, plus several other fascinating features new to the franchise.

Rocksteady game director Sefton Hill said in the new issue of Game Informer, "This is a single-player game. There is no multiplayer Right at the start this was our vision. It's going to take all of our effort for all of this time. We don't have the time to do multiplayer."

In addition, Hill explains the company will "focus on making the best single-player experience we can. We don't feel that it needs a multiplayer element. Warner Bros. backed that up right at the start."

Set one year after the events from Arkham City, 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 allows 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, to Game Informer.

The new addition of the Batmobile is another noteworthy feature for Arkham Knight. The vehicle will 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 at any time. Furthermore, the vehicle can eject Batman at any time 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 title Arkham Knight, strangely enough, does not refer to Bruce Wayne's Batman, but additional new villain that Hill states will be a "formidable foe" that will "really challenge Batman to go head to head with him in lots of different ways."

According to Game Informer, the villain will be a "militarized" version of Batman, with the Arkham "A" sign on his chest. This villain will join the statuses of Two Face, The Penguin, and The Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn. Quinn is also available in the new game as a playable character via pre-order.

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