- An Arkham Knight sequel was once under development at Rocksteady, featuring Damian Wayne as the new Batman, which was unfortunately canceled.
- New footage from the game’s pre-alpha model has recently emerged online.
- Recent reports have suggested that Rocksteady is reviving the project in the form of a new trilogy exclusive to PlayStation.
The Arkham trilogy wasn’t supposed to be the last of the Batman universe, as Damian Wayne was set to succeed Bruce Wayne as the Caped Crusader. Unfortunately, plans for the newer Dark Knight were canceled.
Over time, details for the Arkham Knight sequel have emerged online, including facial models and other information. Now, the entire footage for a gameplay sequence has surfaced online from what appears to be an early developer build of the game.
Why it matters: Typically, this level of detail about canceled games doesn’t emerge from within the studio.
The footage was featured in a new video by The Atomsmith. The short clip showcases Damian Wayne’s Batman jumping over Killer Croc riding a motorcycle. However, since this is an early development build, Killer Croc appears to be a placeholder model for another character.
Damian Wayne’s Batman also appears to be using a placeholder model of Batman from Arkham Knight. Either way, it’s hard to tell what it could mean, considering it was pre-Alpha footage.
The game was under development at WB Games Montreal, the same studio responsible for 2023’s Gotham Knights.
That said, the Arkham series isn’t completely dead, and fans can expect new games from Rocksteady moving forward. Reports have suggested that an Arkham Asylum remake is currently under development.
Beyond that, the Arkham Knight sequel is also being revived. Damian Wayne will receive his trilogy, which is reportedly based on the Batman Beyond storyline. However, those games are reportedly exclusive to PlayStation. Moreover, Job listings have suggested the game is being built on Unreal Engine 5.
