There's still much left to do once the player beats Batman: Arkham Knight. This guide will help players with the best things to do after beating the base game. The Batman Arkham series has been regarded as one of the best superhero video games series to ever exist. Batman: Arkham Asylum set a new bar for superhero titles moving forward as players were given the best take on the Batman formula in a video game format. Many other titles such as Marvel's Spider-Man and Marvel's Avengers have the Batman Arkham series of games to thank for laying down the groundwork. Batman: Arkham Knight is the last mainline entry in the series, releasing back in 2015. Here's what players can do after they beat the base game for the first time.
While the Batman franchise contains some of the most iconic villains in existence like the Joker, the Penguin, Scarecrow, and more, Batman: Arkham Knight introduces a brand new antagonist to the series. This villain appropriately named the Arkham Knight has a personal vendetta against Batman and knows all of his secrets. Although in this title, Batman is in need of many of his allies due to suffering from a disease that is transforming him into the Joker himself. Once the adventure is over, there is still much to do in Gotham. Here are the best things players can do after beating the game.
Look Into The Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass
The game released 5 years ago, making the season pass DLC completed. Purchasing this season pass originally goes for about $19.99 USD but will likely drop in price depending on what platform the player is on. This includes new costumes and playable story sections with other characters in the Batman mythos. Characters like Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and Batgirl all have playable sections of the game. Also, all of the skins in the DLC are references to older Batman content. This is the best thing to do after beating the game.
Unlock The Extended Ending in Batman: Arkham Knight
This is called the Knightfall Protocol. The regular ending of the game leaves a lot of questions behind the fate of Batman and Alfred. Although, players can unlock an extended ending of the game, giving more context of what happens after the original ending of the game. Without getting into spoilers, players will need to complete all 14 Most Wanted missions to unlock the extended ending. It does a much better job and feels much more conclusive for the game.
Explore Gotham in Batman: Arkham Knight
After beating the game and unlocking the extended ending, players can return back to Gotham and continue to explore. Although, the events of the ending still take place, meaning Batman's identity has been revealed. The rain will stop around the city and players can speak with NPCs. Many of them commenting on the fact that its Bruce Wayne instead of Batman. It's an eerie final thing to do once the game is done and shows that the ending is truly conclusive.
While the Arkham series has come to an end with Batman, a new entry in the series is scheduled to release in 2022. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League premiered at DC DnDome and is set in the same universe. It will feature four playable characters like Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. The connections between this title and the main are currently scarce, but it will likely feature the same gameplay players enjoyed from the originals. The Batman Arkham series is still one of the best superhero titles to exist in the gaming space.
Batman: Arkham Knight is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
