Alleged Arkham Leak Appears on Reddit from Disgruntled WB Employee
Although Rocksteady has made no plans for more Batman: Arkham games, the series doesn’t appear to be finished quite yet. A rumour picked up by Wccftech suggests that another title in the legendary Batman franchise is currently in the works.
The rumour originated from a Reddit post allegedly made by a soon-to-be-former WB employee. No explanation was given as to why this person is suddenly ready to break an NDA, and no evidence exists to suggest this is legitimate. Still, the details included are numerous. If this is a hoax, it’s a very well-written one. The thread includes a series of follow-up questions, along with what sound like succinct, fact-based answers. Again, if this person is making all of this up, they are doing a fantastic job.
Some of the highlights include:
The game is called Batman: Arkham Insurgency and it takes place about 3 years after the events of Arkham Origins. It’s built on the same engine as Arkham Knight was and has been in development since around 2014.
Combat has been expanded to better accommodate 1-on-1 fights. It’s still rhythm based where you have to time all the correct button presses exactly, but it’s more complicated than the attack/counter basis of the previous games.
Unlike Arkham Knight, there will actually be boss battles this time.
Many more details are included in the post, which also comes with an announcement date of March 8th. If this enormous leak is accurate, we’ll know in a relatively short period of time. The alleged source justifies their contract violation by indicating they’re quitting soon, although this probably doesn’t look too good on a resume.
We’ll let you know if this leak turns out to be legitimate or otherwise as the story develops.
