<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;">Lately, there has been speculation online that the staff for Batman: Arkham Origins is gearing up to work on another, currently unannounced, triple A title. <a style="font-weight: inherit; cursor: pointer; font-style: inherit;" title="Unannounced AAA Game for PS4 and Xbox One In Development at Batman: Arkham Origins' Studio" href="http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/28/unannounced-aaa-game-for-ps4-and-xbox-one-in-development-at-batman-arkham-origins-developer/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0068cf;">Dual Shockers</span></a> reports that several Warner Bros. Games Montreal developers, and Arkham origins Lead Game Designer Pierre-Luc Foisy, have profile mentions on Linkedin mentioning a new AAA game title that is being developed for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.</p>

<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">In the past, there have been rumors and other hints on social media of a possible Deathstroke or Suicide Squad game in the works, based on the ending for Batman: Arkham Origins and the events of Batman: Arkham Origins Black gate. Now, if the developers want to go in the direction of Batman Beyond, that would be another great idea for a direction of the franchise.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">While Batman Beyond originated as an animated series created by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm, the show and premise clearly resonated with fans. Later, DC Entertainment revived the world and characters with the Batman Beyond and Batman Beyond Unlimited comic series. The premise sets a much older Bruce Wayne as a mentor for a new young, teenaged Batman named Terry McGinnis in a futuristic, more high-tech Gotham City. The show featured mostly new rogues for Batman to battle.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">In Batman: Arkham City, one of the best alternate costume skins for Batman to wear was the Batman Beyond costume. The costume even featured the detachable arm wings used throughout the animated series. That possibly further fueled the desires for fans to see a new game set in the Batman Beyond universe. Among the New 52 books, Batman Beyond Unlimited is definitely among my favorites. </span></p>

<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">What I like about Batman Beyond is that even though Gotham City has changed and classic characters have aged and become much older, the city still needs a Batman. In the story, it felt like Bruce Wayne was finally passing the torch. I did not care for the later revelations of McGinnis being Wayne&#8217;s genetic son in Justice League Unlimited. However, it did provide some profound drama, as well a conclusion to the Batman Beyond story.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">A new Batman Beyond game would be a great chance to have an open world Gotham City of the future to explore. It would be an interesting way to look at the type of affect Batman had on Gotham City after the events of Arkham Knight. The open world of Gotham City in Arkham Knight depicts a Gotham City in recovery, after the events of Arkham City. It appears as if Bruce Wayne is executing many new construction projects to rebuild and modernize Gotham from the ground up. </span></p>
<p style="line-height: 15.6pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 16.2pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; color: #333333;">Of course, if WB Games Montreal had another crack at the Batman franchise, the developer would need to step up its game. The game would need to run a lot more smoothly than Batman: Arkham Origins. Overall, I thought the story for Origins was rock solid; and it did feature a lot of new ideas that were a good progression for the franchise. I would love to see a new Batman Beyond game done in the style of the Arkham franchise for the new-gen consoles.</span></p>

could be awesome, however i’ve already decided I will NEVER buy another game developed by WB Montreal, regardless of how good the story of Arkham Origins was.
WB Montreal would need to take a lot into consideration before doing another video game. I believe many consumers of Arkham Origins have a bad taste in their mouth from WB Montreal’s lack of support to fix problems that still exist in the game in order to focus on paid DLC. It shows that they only cared about the money and getting the game “finished” instead of the players who paid for it and wanted to enjoy it.
Understood, but I think they deserve a chance to redeem themselves. I truly believe Arkham Origins had some strong points that were overlooked.
SUPPORT. I’m hoping that’s on their to-do list, but we’ll see. And I agree with the other comments, definitely.
