What Happens To The Batman Arkham Series After Arkham Knight?

ThisGenGaming says "As you may have heard by now Arkham Knight is Rocksteady’s last foray into the Arkham series. For those that do not know they made Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. They did not make the Arkham Origins game that was actually made by Warner Bros. Games Montreal. Which brings up the question with Rocksteady stepping down from the game after they finish the trilogy will another studio take over the series?"

Hopefully we get a Batman Beyond game next

Hoffmann3295d ago

Batman Beyond Arkham..amirite?

TheJacksonRGN3295d ago

I...f^cking like that title!

Meltic3295d ago

Sure batman is cool but why not a superman game starring Clark kent ? would be cool as well

showtimefolks3295d ago

A superman game

Superman vs batman game

I would love to see them do a punisher game but that's more of a pipe dream.

soul-assassin-3295d ago

Definitely a punisher game. I loved playing the original

Gaime3295d ago

Superman vs Batman game would be awesome.

ERFO3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

Batman Beyond Arkham. That is a great fucking idea.

I honestly think they'll keep on going by another team but it will loose it's special spark since Rocksteady won't be developing them.

They'll probably end up like Arkham Origins, the familiar Arkham game feel but not much improvement or advancement on the series.

However since Rocksteady will be moving on, it's nice to speculate on what they could do now.

I honestly want them to do a Constantine or a Green Arrow game...but the proper Green Arrow not that shit in Arrow which has changed far too much to the source material.

If Rocksteady was allowed to Marvel stuff I wouldn't mind seeing the Punisher or Daredevil.

RiseofScorpio3295d ago

Or a Green Lantern game. The ring constructs would create some majestic gameplay.

k-dillinger3295d ago

but up until now arkham origins was by far the best in the series better fighting better setting better story gameplay didn't change but added i believe if they would have hidden who made it or slapped rocksteady on the box ppl would have loved the game and not showed so much hate becuz most of the hate was aimed at the ppl who made it not the product itself

jb2273295d ago

I think the writings on the wall as to what's next for the Arkham franchise & the 2 devs involved in it: loose movie tie-ins. Montreal spent a fair bit of time setting up Suicide Squad in Origins so I'm guessing their next game will be a Suicide Squad title in time for the movie. Rocksteady have been making a big showing of their Dual Play feature which seems like testing for a future Justice League game to tie in to those movies. I'm willing to bet that Arkham Knight has a lot of easter eggs detailing the entire DCU this time & the JLA in particular, and potentially that Superman cameo rumor business could be legit. WB has a penchant for movie tie-ins & the success of the Arkham franchise will likely have gotten the brass' attention so they will most likely be throwing their 2 cents into the future of the franchise & their concerns lie w/ those films & creating a larger shared universe out of anything & everything they can. The Suicide Squad & JLA titles will still be set in the Arkham universe though & at least Rocksteady are pretty trusted devs so hopefully they can make these titles worthwhile.

Meltic3295d ago (Edited 3295d ago )

hopefully they will move on. Why not a superman game ? starting in smallville Clark kent.

Hoffmann3295d ago

Superman vs Batman of course. Or the studio is going to work on other Dc heroes game series which would be a nice change.

A Green Arrow game series or for the first time ever, a really good Superman game would be nice.

chrisx3295d ago

We wait for the inevitable remasters

Batman: Arkham Shadow is another VR game players do not want

Geoff Keighley revealed a new Batman Arkham game is in the works to be released later this year, with a first look at gameplay happening at Summer Game Fest. Unfortunately for just about everyone, Batman: Arkham Shadow is a VR-only game exclusive to the Meta Quest 3. The community reaction hasn’t been great.

What a bunch of nonsense.
Gamers saw 0 seconds of actual gameplay and the author of this "article" says they don't want the game.

Friendlygamer28d ago

Don't even know what is a meta quest 3

abstractel28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Troll post?

On topic, this could be good but no way to know until it's out. Glad that it's Quest 3 exclusive so it doesn't have to run on the Quest 2. If it turns out to be good, I look forward to a eventual PCVR or PSVR 2 port.

Friendlygamer28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I mean, I know what a vr headset is but I've never heard of this one, I thought the big one was the Sony one. I have a friend who believed Microsoft hadn't released a new Xbox console to compete with the ps5 because series s and series x sound a lot like x and s, that's how apathetic people can be I guess

aaronlif1028d ago

I see the industry is once again trying to bash VR. I honestly think most game companies don't want to have to cater to VR and are doing whatever they can to bury it. Which is a shame because when done right, VR games are absolutely amazing. Half Life Alyx being one of the most obvious examples. But too many people are trying to see it fail. Most of the big companies don't want to spend the extra energy on it. It's much easier to just churn out yet another call of duty that they know will make a ton of money, which from a business standpoint is understandable, but unfortunately they are preventing the evolution of a new way to experience gaming. When I see an article like this, it just makes me think that there's a real effort to cause VR to fail. Has this guy even played the game? Has he even seen any actual gameplay from it? For all he knows it could be amazing. I think the only complaint I have is that it's coming only to meta quest 3 and not PSVR2, which seems like an odd decision. Sony is dropping the ball with PSVR2 so bad. It's a great headset but they simply aren't making any effort to support it. And I think it all boils down to big companies not wanting to put the effort towards VR. But Sony needs to push harder too. How Half Life Alyx hasn't shown up or even been hinted at for PSVR2 since the headset came out is beyond me. Sony should be moving mountains to convince Valve to port the game to PS5 and PSVR2. That is the biggest chance Sony has at convincing people of what VR can do. It's sad really. I love VR games. Half Life Alyx is one of my favorite gaming experiences ever. And it wouldn't have been possible any other way. I truly hope these people don't cause us to lose out on such a promising tech. But articles like this certainly don't help. And it's especially frustrating when clearly this person hasn't even tried the game yet.

Michiel198928d ago

if I were a massive company I wouldn't make VR games either. It's so much risk, first you have to nail making a game for VR, which we've seen is really hard to do. Secondly, the vr market is very fractured considering how small it is. Quite a decent amount of headsets for such a small space, all which have different specs, so then you gotta pick the right one. 3rd is needs to sell an astronomical amount relative to the install base for a AAA VR game to pay off. Too much if's and risks and not worth the effort.

Kill the Justice League Is More Gotham Knights Than Batman: Arkham - & That's a Bad Sign

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has more in common with Gotham Knights than the Batman: Arkham games. Here's why that's a bad thing.

Marvel's Spider-Man Is Still The Best Batman: Arkham Successor

Gotham Knights attempts to follow up the beloved Batman: Arkham franchise, but Marvel’s Spider-Man is a much more effective successor series.

Tf are you talking about? Nearly every aspect of the game was built off the Spider-Man 2 ps2/xbox game including the combat, not Arkham

gangsta_red522d ago

I really don't understand how anyone could not see that the glaring similarities

isarai522d ago

Read the article bro, the dev says "in regards to how it handles its characters" the journalist is the one that talks about gameplay not the dev.

Outside_ofthe_Box522d ago

Arkham series set the foundation for all future licensed superhero games going forward. No longer will quick movie-tie-ins be accepted. Rocksteady is legendary for that.

RaveTears522d ago

James Gunn just recently said that DC games are pretty much going to be tie-in to TV/Movie.

blackblades521d ago (Edited 521d ago )

Who dat, we should tell him to F off and get ready for 3/10 scores.
Googled: Oh that guy, DC is dying with all the shake up, lol Harley Quinn musical

WeAreLegion522d ago

Web of Shadows had an excellent combat system. The game obviously wasn't polished, but that combat was fire.

ZeekQuattro521d ago

Yeah it did. Shame its planned sequel was axed.

StarkR3ality521d ago

Some of the best superhero media ever, never mind games. Both 2 of the best franchises in gaming.

Just a shame only one of them is currently still going. Would love a new batman Arkham game on current gen considering how good Knight still looks to this day. Would be amazing.

Notsofast521d ago

even though spider man does take somethings from batman its not as much as some people might think for one spider man 2 and the amazing spider man games were all similar to marvels spiderman its just that when games get to old people forget them so batman actually is also copying spiderman
