ArkWeb mod for Batman: Arkham Knight lets Spider-Man swing through Gotham

• The mod was made by modder luki-1 and is reportedly available for free on GitHub.
• It combines Rocksteady’s 2015 game with Spider-Man’s web-swinging and web-focused toolkit.

What happened

The PC mod ArkWeb turns Batman: Arkham Knight into a crossover with Spider-Man. According to the source, players can move through Gotham City as Spider-Man while keeping Rocksteady’s world and the foundation of the June 2015 game intact. That makes the mod a striking example of how PC modding can blend existing games with characters and systems from another franchise.

The mod is credited to creator luki-1. The provided information says ArkWeb is available for free and can be downloaded via GitHub. That places the project within the PC modding scene around Batman: Arkham Knight, which originally launched in 2015. The source does not mention any official collaboration between Rocksteady, Marvel, or Insomniac Games.

According to the source, ArkWeb replaces Batman’s tools with Spider-Man’s web-based movement and toolkit. The mod reportedly uses elements from Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered as the source for Spider-Man’s web-swinging and movement. The creator is also said to have shared a short YouTube video showing Spider-Man swinging through Gotham, though the available information does not confirm any further gameplay details or a full feature list.

The available context also suggests that ArkWeb is an open-source project on GitHub. The included source references describe the mod as using Spider-Man’s movement while Gotham’s collision geometry from Arkham Knight is used underneath. The source also says Batman remains hidden and Spider-Man is pinned to Batman’s position, but the provided text does not include additional technical specifics about compatibility or installation.

Background

Batman: Arkham Knight is an action-adventure game from Rocksteady and part of the Arkham series. The game launched in June 2015 and was released on PC and consoles. In the provided context, Batman: Arkham Knight serves as the base that ArkWeb builds on, with Gotham City as the play space and Arkham gameplay as the foundation.

The mod uses Spider-Man as a replacement for Batman and ties that to web-swinging and a web-focused toolkit. The included source references explicitly say Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered is the source for Spider-Man’s movement and web mechanics. ArkWeb therefore combines two different game ecosystems: Rocksteady’s Gotham and Insomniac Games’ Spider-Man system.

The available information also says the mod is on GitHub and was published by luki-1. The GitHub repository is described in the context as a project that combines Spider-Man’s movement with Arkham Knight’s world and collision geometry. The source also states that Batman is hidden and Spider-Man is placed at Batman’s position, indicating that the mod is not just a visual swap but also adjusts the character’s movement and placement.

There is no mention in the source of any official collaboration between Rocksteady, Marvel, or Insomniac Games. No concrete numbers are given for downloads, versions, or a release date for the mod itself. The provided context does show that ArkWeb fits into a broader PC modding tradition where existing games are adapted with new characters, animations, and systems.
