Batmobile on Arkham Island

Arkham Asylum never let you drive. This puts Arkham Knight's Batmobile on Arkham Island.

Press Play and Arkham Asylum opens straight onto the island's outdoor grounds, with Batman already in the driver's seat. No menus, no save needed.

What you do

• Drive the island's grounds: accelerate, brake, reverse, handbrake, afterburner. The car follows the ground, tilts on slopes, jumps off ledges and bounces off walls.
• Get out whenever you like and be Batman as usual: glide, grapple, explore.
• Call the Batmobile to wherever you are, and get back in.
• The island is empty and moody: no enemies, just Asylum's own night, music and ambience.

Controls

| | Keyboard | Controller (not yet tested on a real pad) | |---|---|---| | Accelerate / brake, reverse | W / S | RT / LT | | Steer | A / D | Left stick | | Handbrake | Space | A | | Afterburner | Left Shift | X | | Get out / get in | F | Y | | Call the Batmobile | T | LB |

Look around with the mouse; the view swings back behind the car as you drive.

How the two games are in it

• You play in Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY. The island, its collision, lighting, music and Batman are all Asylum's.
• Batman: Arkham Knight brings the Batmobile. Its model and textures are read from your own Knight install the first time you play (a few seconds) and kept on your PC. No game files are included in the download.

Good to know (version 1.0.0)

• Single player.
• No engine sound yet, the wheels don't spin and the car casts no shadow.
• The car can get wedged on very steep rocks: get out (F) and call it (T).
• Batman's other buttons still work while he's seated; gadgets from the driver's seat can look odd.
• It starts at Asylum's free-roam spot in Arkham East. It doesn't use or change your save, and starting Asylum normally gives you the unmodified game.
