Rocksteady is reportedly returning to the license that made the studio famous…

    I wonder if any of the people who worked on the Arkham games are even still at the company. Nowadays it seems like all these beloved studios have none of the people that made the games we love, and are just riding off the coattails of the popularity given to them that they clearly do not deserve.

      I’ll bet that number is significantly higher than zero, but as per reporting some months ago, much like with Redfall, Rocksteady saw a significant exodus during Suicide Squad, since the studio was tasked with building a game they did not want to make.

    Sad… Arkham Knight true ending was the perfect ending… No artistic reason to do another one, so the real (and bad) reason for that is:

    ♫ Money, money, money. Must be funny. In a rich man world ♫

        They’ve lost the plot, their next Batman game will just be an online garbage fest. The last Batman game they worked on barely squeaked by as playable and they shit the bed completely after that point. We’re never gonna be back to Arkham 1 & 2 quality.

        And even if we could go back to that? Why? It’s been done. The story is over. Move on to someone else instead of just going back to Batman.

          If that were the case we would not have gotten more and better Batman films either (I am talking about the animated ones).

          They could restart the story, overhaul the gameplay, etc., and give Marvel’s Spider-Man a modern competition.

          Personally, I am very hopeful. But that’s just me. I am also very hopeful about AC Shadows, even after watching their shitty trailers. Lol.

            To me it would be like announcing a new elder scroll games that takes place in Skyrim. I mean I love Batman but that’s enough. A green arrow game made in the same way would work, or even a proper open world superman
