Batman: Arkham City is by no means the only game to look forward to this October, but it is one of the bigger ones. The previous release in the series was a Game of the Year-winning effort that delivered a mix of exploration, puzzle-solving and brutal melee combat in a combined package that positively dripped with the effort and love developer Rocksteady Studios put into it.

The game’s October 18 release in North America is approaching quickly, though it seems that some fans will now be waiting a little bit longer to play. The PC version of Arkham City now won’t be arriving until sometime in November, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment confirmed today in a terse media alert. No reason was given for the delay, but you can assume it’s so that Rocksteady can make the game more awesome. Why else would it be delayed?

There are numerous ways to get around the city in Gotham Knights, but the most efficient method is locked behind a separate progression system called Knighthood. Early on, players can utilize the Batcycle, grappling hook, fast travel, or even travel on foot to get around. While these methods work just fine, you'll want to gain access to the enhanced traversal system by reaching Knighthood. These different means of getting around look different across the four playable characters. For instance, Batgirl can glide, while Robin utilizes a teleporting device created by Justice League technology.

But how exactly does Knighthood work and what do you need to do to unlock the new traversal abilities? Here's what you need to know.

MultiVersus was July’s bestselling game despite being free-to-play

Batman and other characters fighting in MultiVersus.

Free-to-play fighting game MultiVersus was July 2022's bestselling game in the United States, as revealed by market research company The NPD Group.

Although the game is free, its optional, paid Founder's Packs "fit into the full game sale bucket," according to NPD's Mat Piscatella. This is noteworthy since NPD tracks dollar sales, not the number of copies sold.
