My guess on when Rocksteady might announce their next Batman Arkham game.

[TheAlmightySunBro, Silkaire]

Hear me out. It’s been leaked that Rocksteady’s next game is a single player game. It’s also official that the studio has one more chance otherwise they’ll have to shut down the studio (which is why it will probably be a Batman Arkham games since it’s what the people want). So my guess (assuming it’s a Batman Arkham game) is Summer Game Fest 2026 and it will release in the fall of 2027. What do you guys think?

Well the team currently works on Hogwarts legacy, still to this day. Hogwarts legacy 2 is probably what you're referring to which has been confirmed.

Not saying they aren’t working on Hogwarts Legacy 2. That could come first. All I’m saying is there’s another game that’s not Harry Potter related. It’s a completely different project. I probably shouldn’t even say it’s a DC game because they sure like to disappoint us.

you're reaching, none of them are left, the few who are 'helping' with legacy 2 and doing tech support on the first game.

The hope of another DC or Arkham game from that studio died a long time ago.

yeah closest thing we may end up getting is, the people that made Middle-Earth: Shaddow of Mordor, (which used arkham style combat system) has been working on that upcoming Wonder Woman game but recent news is saying it's in development hell and also infected with woke being it's a "sweet baby" game. so who knows.. not getting my hopes up. actually not even on my radar anymore.

No one will listen to me 🤦🏼‍♂️
The secret project is still at the drawing board so stop saying it’s Legacy 2. Development hasn’t even started.

They just leaked HL2 being in development not long ago. There are no other games in the works. Stick to the trilogy, why WB had a whole other company take over the franchise, go play some Gotham knights, closest you're going to get.

Okay I’ll say this AGAIN. It’s called a secret project for a reason. They won’t simply announce it this early. Yes, HL2 is real, but it’s not what I’m talking about.

Yes, but there have been so many secret projects and rumors and canceled stuff after Knight: Superman and Batman Beyond and what not - and all we ever got was that silly Suicide game. After eight years development time. With Knight clearly intended as Rocksteady's last Arkham game. And the masterminds behind Arkham are rumored to have been heavily involved in, actually responsible for that failure, and have jumped ship when the desaster began to materialize. Rocksteady now has been degraded from a hit factory to a supporting studio for the Potter IP, the company they once were is no more, while WB has doubled down time and again on their failed live service strategy. Out of what thin air should the next game really worthy of the "Arkham" label materialize? I really don't see it, not now, not soon, not ever...

I know they cancel a lot, but I hope the game doesn’t get canceled. Worthy…..probably not. They can’t mess up. They’ll have to give the fans exactly what they want for once or they won’t succeed. They also have to tell Sweet Baby inc. to shove it.

actually there IS that arkham VR game that's suppose to be coming out. but yeah, stick to original trilogy. and if you haven't played them, the Middle-Earth games and that Mad Max game was EXCELLENT. would love to get a sequel to that. but doubt there's anybody left at WB that would do it any justice. plus they're trying to sell off their gaming studios as it is anyway being they've been doing nothing but hemorrhaging hundreds of millions of dollars for quite a good while now. but hey, you know what they say about "going woke", so.... you get what you got

Well of course Half-Life 2 is real, it's Half-Life 3 we've all been waiting an eternity for!

Sorry, but this is a very naive view, and it has a childish level of blind, dumbass optimism.

Yup. That "the adage has been proven wrong even more than it's been proven right, and it's been proven right a significant amount of the time". Like, if we divide it into times where it was a failure that caused massive losses that could be considered to be at the "going broke" level, a surprising success that managed to be amazingly lucrative, and someplace between the two, it would probably break down to, very roughly, about a third of the time. Almost as if it's not an actual factor in anything, and it's really stuff like quality that matters....

yeah plus it's a meta quest 3 exclusive, so if you got a quest 2 nope can't play, or if you bought valve index nope can't play. so, yeah, the big brains at WB thought it was a good idea to make it a "console' exclusive. even after SS:KTJL. so yeah, you can't make this 💩 up
