ReverseFlash Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 So here's everything we know officially about WB Montreal's new Batman game. It's a current gen game and it's a AAA DC console game. One of WBM's devs keep's calling it a console game and said he can't confirm if it's on PC. So since it's a current gen game, this means it must be releasing in Q4 2020 before the next gen consoles launch. We know that it's mostly done as hinted by the devs. And since it's likely releasing next year, I think it could be announced this December or early 2020. I'm really hyped about this game. It's antagonizing waiting for it to be announced. I haven't been this excited for a game since Arkham Knight pre launch. I have lots of faith in WB Montreal.

I have no faith in Warner Brothers after the Batman: Arkham Knight Middle Finger. The so-called "publisher" is the developer, and the entity who calls the shots. If this is a game in the same vein as the Arkham games, it's unclear to me why it would not be ported to the PC. I can only say that it seems a foolish decision.

DexMacLeod Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm pretty excited about this one, too. It seems every time there's some sort of gaming related event everyone assumes it's going to be revealed there but it never is. I'm really hoping the rumours about the Court of Owls ends up being true. I think they could provide for some interesting new enemy types that really shake the game up in a non-tank battle way. I'd also really like to see Rocksteady give Batman one more go just so that Arkham Knight doesn't end up being the way they leave their Batman legacy. A sequel to Knight that sort of adapts the Battle for the Cowl storyline and lets you play as multiple members of the bat-family in free roam would be awesome.

DexMacLeod Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 So it's looking more and more like The Court of Owls is officially involved with the next game. WB Montreal did a Batman day tease on Twitter where they posted some logos that very much looked Court of Owls related and one that looked like it might belong to the League of Assassins. It also looks like the marketing tag line for the game is "Capture the Knight". https://screenrant.com/new-batman-game-teased-arkham-origins-developer-court-owls-league-assassins/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the most likely reason. Can you clarify? You know I remember since I mention it in the comment you replied to! If the PC port of Arkham Knight was amazing and yet sales were disappointing, deciding against future ports would make sense, but the situation was the opposite. If you're saying that WB is simply out of touch, I think I would agree with you. Edited September 24, 2019 by Dryspace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Static Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The PC port was so bad at launch that it got removed from every retailer site and wasnt relisted for sale until 5 months later. Ivan1997GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's correct. That's what the "Batman: Arkham Knight Middle Finger" refers to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisCrafted Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 (edited) After 2 days of successive teases I expected the reveal at State of Play but nothing happened ofc. New York Comic Con, just some random day in the next week or so or The Game Awards in December? What do you guys think? Personally I'm hoping we won't have to wait until December because that'd just be painful. Why would they tease it 3 months in advance? Also I wonder if this'll actually be an Arkham game. It could have a new title and be completely unrelated to the Arkhamverse. Edited September 28, 2019 by DisCrafted Ivan1997GTA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexMacLeod Posted September 28, 2019 Share Posted September 28, 2019 It could have a new name but I imagine it'll still take place in the Arkham Universe. I think there's still plenty of room for more stories between Origins and Asylum. I think, with Court of Owls involved, it could make for a pretty good Dick Grayson/Robin Origin. Obviously, sequels to the prequel can't go on forever but I think they can certainly do at least one more. Maybe they reboot the Universe with whatever Rocksteady's working on? It'd be kind of a shame, though, I'd much rather see them expand the universe and show us the Arkhamverse version of the Justice League than start all over. As for when they'll make an announcement? I've given up. A year ago I would have guessed the game would be coming out around this time. Zello 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMacLeod Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Yeah, I've been keeping up with the rumours. Never sure what's true and what's not. I just know for sure that it was about a year ago (in December, I believe) that WB Montreal started teasing Court of Owls. I thought an announcement was imminent then. The Court of Owls is a super secret group so it'd make sense if Batman fought them, defeated them, and then kept them a secret. Writers are constantly writing Batman stories that never mention them so it wouldn't be out of place for a video game to do it as well. I mean, they never really mention the Suicide Squad either.
