This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Batman: Arkham Knight for PlayStation 4
Batman: Arkham Knight lets you explore Gotham through gliding, grappling, detective work and free-flow combat. Scarecrow unites several villains while the new Arkham Knight deploys a militia. The driveable Batmobile shifts between pursuits, puzzles and fortified combat zones. The campaign is single-player; downloadable missions or skins belong only when explicitly included.
The campaign builds each situation around clear objectives, enemies or obstacles and controls that you gradually learn to master. Difficulty comes from timing, positioning and intelligent use of available resources. Exploring, trying again and choosing another approach often achieve more than haste. The fixed content on the disc therefore matters most. Any network features are mentioned only as historical options, not as services guaranteed to work today.
Between missions you earn points that improve campaign abilities such as reloading, resistance or equipment. The story is played alone. Exo Survival is a separate section in which soldiers fight waves of enemies and earn new equipment. Network play, leaderboards, downloadable packs and used Day Zero codes are not guaranteed with a pre-owned copy. The complete campaign on the disc is therefore the main feature described here. This keeps the platform, controls and edition clearly separate from later reissues.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
Batman: Arkham Knight for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of Batman: Arkham Knight
Rocksteady Studios developed Batman: Arkham Knight as the finale to its Arkham trilogy. Warner Bros. Interactive released the PS4 version in Europe on 23 June 2015. The Batmobile and larger Gotham distinguish it from Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. This description covers the standard game, not automatically the Premium Edition or separate expansions.
This physical release preserves a defined version from its original console generation. Later expansions, patches, servers and reissues may have added or changed features, but are not attributed to this disc. Its original design choices and technical limits belong to this edition. Developer, release period and platform were therefore checked separately. Differences in controls, presentation and accessories between consoles are also stated where they affect what can actually be played.
