The gaming community is celebrating the 15th anniversary of Batman: Arkham Knight by remembering a moment that changed gaming forever.
Joker commits terror, does a triple somersault and then dies
Batman: Arkham Asylum has been released for the past 15 years and to this day the game is still fondly remembered by the gaming community, a testament to its quality to stand the test of time. The game developers of Rocksteady Games were ambitious and did not hold back the work on the project, integrating ideas that were not common in previous superhero video games.
The developers wanted players to experience a different level of fear. Playing as the Caped Crusader isn't scary enough and the studio took it to a whole new level with a surprise that made everyone panic instead of grin.
The gaming community loves surprises, especially ones they never saw coming or falling when they least expect it. 15 years ago, Rocksteady Games released the first of three games in arguably one of the greatest superhero trilogies in the video game format ever. Even today, fans often refer to the iconic game crash scene in Batman: Arkham Asylum and use it as a benchmark for modern games like Thor reviving Kratos from God of War Ragnarok.
