Batman: Arkham Knightjust added Robert Pattinson’s Batsuit in a free update, but it was quickly removed soon after.
Yesterday (October 26) players discovered that the 2015 superhero action game had received its first update in eight years, adding the Batsuit worn by the Hollywood actor inThe Batmanmovie which was released last year (viaGamesRadar).
Since Rocksteady hadn’t released any updates in a long time, this caused some excitement, leading players to share the costume in action onsocial media.
The suit is called “The Batman Skin - 2022” with the description “I am the shadows”, which is fitting for the iconic DC comic book character. It also looks great in-game, showcasing Pattinson’s more structured suit and metallic coloring, complete with the updated Batman logo on his chest. The helm is identical too, and helpsArkham Knight’s Bruce Wayne look just like the actor from the movie.
However, soon after the new update began making its rounds online, it was swiftly removed from the game, with no notice as to why. At the time, the Batsuit was made only available through an update on theEpic Games Storeand didn’t appear on eitherPlayStation,Xbox, orSteamversions.
Some theories suggest that the free update may have something to do with theupcoming release of theBatman: Arkham Trilogy- which is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch later this year. The collection will includeArkham Asylum,Arkham City, andArkham Knightalong with every piece of DLC ever released for the series.
It’s possible that the surpriseArkham Knightupdate was pushed out too early and was supposed to coincide with the release of theArkham Trilogy, but, for now, the mystery remains unsolved.
