We want this game right now.

Regular readers of the video games section here at JOE will know that we’re big fan girls of the Batman: Arkham games series, and we’ve been addicted to them all. While the last one was a slight disappointment as it was too formulaic, the lads at Rocksteady are back in charge (the guys behind the first two titles) and this trailer makes the game look pretty amazing so far.

The game is the finale of the Arkham trilogy (we know, we’re devastated too), but it looks like it may well be the very best one yet. You will be able to drive the Batmobile (finally!), they’re promising the biggest and most detailed version of Gotham City yet, and there are a whole host of villains that will be causing havoc, from Two Face to Harley Quinn to the Penguin.

This cinematic trailer is obviously not what we can expect from the in game experience, but it’s still hugely impressive so far, and had the hairs on the back of our neck standing up. It will be released in 2014 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC, so it’s going to be all next-gen shiny and with lovely graphics. We’re really excited about this.
