Some may think that there is only one studio capable of making the most of the Dark Knight license. But right now, after a post by Geoff Keighley that I was wondering who should make the next Batman game.there has already been a first indication, or signal, that would suggest that there is already a project underway. In fact, as many of you may have thought, The only studio that seems capable of doing something like this is RocksteadyThe truth is that this studio really needs a shake-up after the resounding failure of its last proposal, the ill-fated Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
The main person responsible for this sign, which places Rocksteady As the studio that would be already working on the return of the Dark Knight in a new Batman game, it has been @Shpeshal_Nick. As expressed in this post, «I heard Rocksteady is going to do it again»just as he has also cited Sony for some reason.
It seems that this question was rhetorical, to the point that there is already a studio developing the new Batman game.
After its first games that laid the groundwork for the Arkham saga, the decision to drop the license and focus on something else enabled two projects that have not gone down too well at Warner Bros. On the one hand, it tried to continue taking advantage of the popularity and fame of the Arkham saga with a peculiar sequel, betting on Gotham Knights. A game that, without being completely bad, sinned by wanting to introduce multiplayer in a way that the game seemed vain. In the end, that was the first failure of Rocksteady's lack of continuity with Arkham.
But even more severe was the blow that Warner Bros received with the game that replaced Rocksteady's next Arkham. A setback that shook the foundations of Warner Bros' video game infrastructure until it was, once again, dismantled. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been a huge sales flop and participation is at a minimum, considering that it has even been given away on the Epic Games Store. Finally, the future project has been abandoned and the first signs have already sounded that Rocksteady has started working on a new project.
And this may be precisely what the insider has heard, wanting to anticipate what would be a new chapter in a saga that many wished they could have played before. After a trilogy that had closed an episode that enjoys a great reputation, Giving it continuity is the desire of many usersThere have been other alternatives, where changing the main hero of this universe did not yield as positive a result as one might expect. It is clear that it is necessary to resume the license with those who They knew how to make it grow and take it to the top.
Now we have to wait for the various hints to be completed with an official announcement. Although we assume that it will not be something that will happen in the short term, at least not in the form of a trailer that can clear up doubts about the identity of the project. Perhaps clues will be leaked in other ways, but we wait for the day that Rocksteady wants to present that project what they are doing and what, according to dreams, hopes and some other indications, It could be the return of the Dark Knight in a new Batman game.
