‘Batman: Arkham City’ Sequel Coming This Year? UPDATE: Without Rocksteady?

I’ve been wondering when we’d be able to step into Batman’s shoes once more; if this information is correct, a new game could be much closer than anticipated!

It looks as thought the folks over at ComingSoon have been doing some digging. After picking through Warner’s Q1 Earnings Report, they’ve learned that a new Arkham title will be revealed (and possibly released) sometime this year!

While no game has officially been announced, it was Warner CFO John K. Martin that couldn’t hold his tongue, stating

“We also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise. So all in all, we expect Warners to post another very strong year in 2013.”

 

No official details for the next title are currently known, but earlier this year it was rumoured that we’d find Bats in a prequel setting, meeting Joker for the very first time.

What do you think? Excited to see another game in the Arkham series (how could you not be)?

Update: According to sources close to VG247, the prequel title is in development at Rocksteady, but it is NOT the follow-up to Arkham City. The next Arkham title that Warner mentioned is rumoured to be in development by Spark Unlimited (Lost Planet 3, Legendary: The Box).
