Nothing officially announced and I don't really know the site the rumor comes from, but either way, it's obvious Rocksteady will make another Arkham game. So...

It comes to no surprise to learn that eventually, the Batman series will add a new title to its long-lasting franchise. After speaking with a source connected within Warner Bros. Interactive, we learned that the developers responsible for Arkham Asylum and Arkham City are currently working on a new project. From what we've heard, the next game of the series will be called Batman: Arkham Knight.

Batman: Arkham Knight, like Arkham City will feature an open world map. However, players will be able to gain a little more freedom than what was given to them in Arkham City. In addition, the artistic style is set to resemble those of Arkham City.

As far as it goes in terms of villains and storyline, you will have to be patient since we do not possess any more details than the ones mentioned above. However, what we can say is that our source tells us that if the development goes well, we might be looking at a release scheduled for the Holiday season of 2014, on Xbox One and PS4.
More details coming soon!

It would be cool if they announced it tonight, during the VGX.

Rocksteady need to be given the keys to any and all superhero franchises they're interested in doing. They're literally the first studio to ever crank out a good game from comicbook/cartoon source material. Everything else has been average at best.

Licensed games from movies are usually God awful too.

oh please don't exagerate

The Arkham games are the best superhero games.

Awesome. That and the Arrow full circle trailer almost give me faith in DC being awesome again.

A few thoughts;

Hopefully they've played a game of f--k off with Joker and Joker went first. I don't want to see him in any capacity.

I agree with IGN suggesting it jumps around with the timeline and we get flashback missions.

Playing as Harley will be fun, no doubt, hopefully Catwoman style "Episodes", rather than just Challenge maps.

NO MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!

In addition to [BLACKOUT]Hush and Jason, what about Jean-Paul[/BLACKOUT] for the Arkham Knight?

I'm glad it's Oracle and not New Fifty-Poo Babs.

The Batfleck resemblance is really damn good.

Given how great the show is and Rocksteady wanting to do something non Batman, what about a Green Arrow game?

But they're not the first. They were the first in a long time. Dp said comic/cartoon so I'm not thinking movie adaptations. The last one was probably Xmen Legends and arguably Ultimate Alliance although personally I do not like either of the Ultimate Alliances

I thought Ultimate Spiderman was also pretty damn good not to mention Hulk: Ultimate Destruction

 

[Nathan]

Ultimate destruction was a fantastic Hulk game.

The best, yes
Not the first good comic book games

 

[dude stannis]

Also, this trailer just makes me so excited for the inevitable Batfleck film.

 

[matt47]

Ultimate spider man was amazing

That would make sooo happy!

 

[titansupes]

Wasn't someone doing a TMNT game already? I saw a demo not long ago, where the Turtles were jumping around places fighting guys, and the player was switching between which one he was controlling etc.

Ditto

In addition to [BLACKOUT]Hush and Jason, what about Jean-Paul[/BLACKOUT] for the Arkham Knight?

Maybe this one is the brand new villain made specifically for this game?

Given how great the show is and Rocksteady wanting to do something non Batman, what about a Green Arrow game?

My guess is they want to do their original work, they proved themselves with a lincensed franchise, they can prove themselves with their own thing

You mean the recent downlodable game Out of the Shadows?
Some want Rocksteady expecting a far superior game developed by them, I think that TMNT game got lukewarm reception at most

Actually, it got flat out murdered in most reviews. For some reason people expected an arcade title to be as good as a AAA title. Sure, it had a couple of bugs, though I rarely encountered any. But because the game required a learning curve and wasn't the most polished, most reviewers thought it was ok to give it a 2/10 or 1/10.

 

[TheFirstAvenger]

That game never released on ps3.

 

[Smallville13]

Nah to TMNT.

I'd actually like to see Rocksteady create their own property.

 

[Shikamaru]

Whatever Rocksteady does next, it should be something they have passion in. That's what made their Batman games so good. No point in making them do a property if they stated they're not interested in it (i.e. Superman). I also think they should create their own property at some point.

That being said, I would geek out if they're big TMNT fans.

Quickly Googled, yeah, that looks like the one I saw. Too bad, I guess.

I would very much agree

I considered playing that game, but I guess my best bet is to wait for LEGO game based on them to play a Ninja Turtles game I'd really enjoy

 

[DeadPresident]

oh please don't exagerate

Slightly dramatic there, man.

 

[The Caped Knight]

So today we get the gameplay trailer at what time?
