With just a few more weeks to go before Batman: Arkham Knight's release, developer Rocksteady has published the next installment in the "Arkham Insider" video series that offers an inside look at the action game. The video covers a variety of topics, one of which is Arkham Knight's New Game Plus mode.

Director Sefton Hill explained how it will work.

"When you complete the main story, you're going to unlock New Game Plus," he said. "In New Game Plus, you can go in and take all of your XP through, take your gadgets through that you've unlocked; which is a big thing, because that means basically you can do some of the challenges from earlier on in the game but with a whole new suite of gadgets you never had the first time or the upgrades. And any Riddler trophies that you've found are shared on both playthroughs."

Hill also reveals that Arkham Knight, described as the biggest game Rocksteady has ever made, won't have any loading screens.

"No loading screens as you play through the whole game," he said. "You can play from the start of the game to the end of the game and you won't see any loading screens. That's all a really big important thing for us."

Woah... this is actually a big thing for me.
I hate..... HATE... loading screens, it breaks immersion I feel.

World feels better when you walk around it without the loading screens atleast.

The thing I don't like is the video chat with Oracle. I mean it's supposed to be a secret but everyone can see her when you're talking to her.

No loading screens? Hopefully other developers take note. :D

Very impressive if they have managed to build an open world, current gen only game without loads.

This is what Gen 8 should be all about.

I fully expect to see more of this in the future, when developers get to fully optimise game engines and build things from the ground up for Gen 8 systems.

GTA V more or less wasn't entirely littered with loading screens like most games have been, hopefully from here on out games will adapt past such screens where we only need to load once and that's it, hopefully the same for pop in as well because that's really unsightly.

like they ain't gonna hide it with unskippable cutscenes..

the loading screens will be hidden in pre-rendered unskippable cutscenes.
