Batman: Arkham Knight came out ten years ago. And now, a modder is trying to bring back an ability that was present in the previous Batman Arkham games but was cut from the game.
The ability that will make a return to Arkham Knight is the Bat Swarm. Modder ‘GPUnity’ is currently working on finishing it. However, there is no ETA for when it will come out.
What’s funny is that this ability appeared to be in the game files, but the devs decided to disable it. I don’t know why they did this. Point is that this mod will restore it, and this will most likely please a lot of Batman fans.
Another cool thing is that more than one character can now use Bat Swarm. Do note, though, that this ability won’t keep lieutenants stunned the whole time. So, you can’t just keep using it over and over to beat them easily. Still, once you do enough damage, the bats can knock out both lieutenants and other enemies.
Overall, this is a really awesome mod that will make the game a lot better. GPUnity plans to release it along with his Master Overhaul Mod. That mod will include a new skill tree, stronger and smarter enemies, and a cool Riddler Chest system that lets you unlock new suits. Also, the Batmobile will have different stats depending on which skin you use, making the game more fun and varied.
Batman: Arkham Knight was released in 2015, and even after 10 years, it still looks amazing. Sure, a few textures are a bit blurry, but most characters look very detailed. The weather and particle effects are awesome. The city feels full and alive, with lots of objects and enemies. The PhysX effects also look great. You can smash many things, and the smoke looks super cool. Driving around and causing destruction is really fun too. Overall, it’s still a great game.
Anyway, I’ll be sure to let you know when this mod comes out. Until then, you can take a look at the following video. This video showcases the Bat Swarm ability in action.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
