As a reward for your patience and understanding, and to make the wait even more unbearable, we are pleased to whet your appetite with a new gameplay video of Batman: Arkham Knight," the game director wrote this week, according to We Got This Covered. "Thanks so much from everyone at Rocksteady for your continued support. We are working as hard as we can to make you proud."
