More Batman games in the works following Batman: Arkham City

By Ryan Fleming Published October 6, 2011

According to a report from CVG, Rocksteady has confirmed that it intends to continue developing Batman games following Batman: Arkham City.

While that isn’t a massive surprise given the popularity of Batman: Arkham Asylum and the hype proceeding Batman: Arkham City, but it is nice to hear that Rocksteady has enough confidence in its upcoming Batman title that it is already looking beyond to the next project.

“I mean I think as long as we’re still enjoying it and as long as we feel we can contribute to the Batman universe,” Rocksteady’s Dax Ginn told CVG when asked how long they could continue churning out Batman titles. “That’s how it feels.

“There’s some amazing stuff going on with Batman all around the world at the moment and we feel as though we’re making our own little contribution in the form of the Arkham-verse.

“So as long as we’ve got stories to tell,” he said. “So long as we feel we can do that and do that really well.”

The gap between Arkham Asylum and Arkham City was just two years, so could we see a new Batman in 2013?

Batman: Arkham City will debut on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 18. A PC version has been delayed until November.

What we want to see in a new Batman video game, and what we don’t

Batman Arkham Knight

WB Games Montreal -- the studio behind prequel game Batman: Arkham Origins -- has been teasing players recently with clues that appear to point to a new Batman video game. It has been nearly five years since the launch of Batman: Arkham Knight, with only Arkham VR to tide fans over. A tweet ordering followers to “Capture the Knight” in September 2019 was followed by another in January 2020 with the same message, and all signs point to another Batman game being in development.

What that being the case, we began wondering: What should go in the next Batman game, and what shouldn’t go in it? Here is what we’re hoping to see and not see in the next Batman game from Warner Bros.

20 years later, the Nintendo DS remains one of gaming’s best devices

It's a special day. Today, November 21, 2024, marks the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS' launch in North America.

It’s hard for me to believe it’s been that long, because Nintendo's dual-screen handheld device defined my childhood more than any other device. While I started my gaming journey on the original Xbox and Game Boy Advance, the Nintendo DS is what truly made me fall in love with video games. It was an innovative piece of technology that drew my attention in ways none of my other childhood toys could. These were formative gaming experiences that I’ll always remember.
