I Am The Night is a game mode initially featured only in Batman: Arkham Origins before making a reappearance in Batman: Arkham Shadow's February 2025 update. I Am The Night functions the same as New Game Plus but with an additional challenge, the player MUST get through the entire story without dying once. If at any point the player allows Batman to die and get a game over their entire progress will be completely wiped and the mode will reset to the very beginning of the game.
Tip[]
- If you need a chance, make sure you save your checkpoints throughout the story.
- Thugs are lot stronger than in New Game or New Game Plus difficulties. Some of these strong enemies also seem to appear a lot earlier in I Am the Night. A Shield Thug can show up as early as the GCR Tower in The Bowery, and a Martial Artist can show up as early as the Boiler Deck in the Final Offer.
- If at any point it seems a game over will happen, restarting from the last checkpoint will help avoid I Am The Night from ending and erasing any progress made.
Trivia[]
- The name for this mode, I Am The Night, comes from and references Kevin Conroy's most famous line as Batman that was first heard in Batman: The Animated Series: "I am vengeance, I am the night, I am Batman!"
- I Am The Night has only appeared in games in the Arkham series with Roger Craig Smith voicing Batman.
- This is the hardest game mode in the entire Arkham series to date, due to the harder enemy encounters that, if causing one game over results in a complete restart to a player's entire progress of the game.
- Debuting in Arkham Origins, that game was the only title in the series to have I Am The Night as a game mode until almost 12 years later, when Arkham Shadow added the mode in it's February update in 2025.
