Batman - Arkham Collection Global Steam
The Batman: Arkham Collection bundles together the three primary entries in the Arkham series—Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight—along with the Season Pass for Arkham Knight. This comprehensive collection allows players to explore the sprawling environments of Arkham Asylum and the broader expanse of Gotham City, engaging in main story missions, side quests, and the hunt for various collectibles. Throughout these games, Batman encounters numerous iconic villains, including Two-Face, Penguin, Riddler, and his archenemy, the Joker. Each game in the series has been critically acclaimed and is celebrated as some of the finest representations of Gotham's Dark Knight.
Become the Batman
The Arkham series offers innovative gameplay mechanics that immerse players in the role of the Caped Crusader. The combat system allows for fluid, dynamic action, enabling Batman to engage multiple foes simultaneously and select targets mid-fight. Stealth elements let players stalk from the shadows, swooping down on enemies or snaring them from above. Essential tools like batarangs are integral to combat and stealth strategies, allowing for both direct confrontations and subtle takedowns.
The games honor Batman’s reputation as the "World's Greatest Detective" by incorporating a Detective Mode, where Batman uses his gadgets to solve puzzles, unlock doors, or hack vehicle controls.
Players can explore Gotham City in unprecedented ways. The grappling hook and cape allow for rapid vertical scaling and aerial travel across the cityscape. In Arkham Knight, players can even drive the Batmobile, which serves not only as a fast means of transportation but also transforms into an armored tank for combat situations.
The Longest Nights
Each game in the Arkham series unfolds over the course of a single, eventful night. In Arkham Asylum, Batman confronts the Joker, who has taken control of the asylum and unleashed chaos by releasing its inmates. Batman must contain the threat and foil Joker’s plot before it can engulf Gotham City.
Arkham City occurs a year later, with a section of Gotham transformed into a lawless prison. Captured and imprisoned in Arkham City, Batman must thwart the Joker's deadly scheme to infect Gotham with a toxic blood pathogen, finding allies in Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul along the way.
In Arkham Knight, Gotham faces its direst threat from the Scarecrow and the enigmatic Arkham Knight, who unleash a fear toxin. As the city evacuates, Batman and his allies, including Commissioner Gordon and the extended Bat-family, battle to save Gotham while Batman confronts personal demons that challenge his resolve and sanity.
