Developer Rocksteady has said time and time again that Batman: Arkham Knight is the conclusion of their Batman trilogy. Though many assume the developer will go on to craft more games in the DC universe down the line, Rocksteady seemed to insist this would be their last Batman game...at least for a while.
Turns out that might not be the case. In a new video from Batman Arkham Videos, creative director Sefton Hill seems to be hinting that Batman: Arkham Knight's upcoming Season of Infamy DLC won't be the last time the developer visits the character.
When asked in the video at around 9:10 whether "categorically, this is the end of the road for Rocksteady and Batman," Hill responds by saying "well..." before a well-placed "no signal" screen takes over the interview. If you'll look closely, an image of Scarecrow can be seen just prior to the signal lost screen.
The interview then picks back up a few seconds later as if nothing happened. It's a clever piece of marketing for Rocksteady, but what exactly does it mean? Does this mean more Arkham Knight DLC could be coming from Rocksteady in the future? Is the developer working on a new Batman game? Or will their next game feature Batman in some way, perhaps in the form of a Justice League game?
It's impossible to say for sure, but it's worth noting that Hill was talking about the history of the Batman: Arkham games, with footage of each game in the franchise playing as he talked, just prior to being asked the "is this the end of Rocksteady and Batman" question. That seems to heavily imply that another game in the series is on the way, but we won't know for sure until Warner Bros. decides to officially announce the project. We already know Batman: Arkham Origins developer WB Games Montreal is looking for help in creating two, new DC universe games, so fans should have plenty to be excited about in the future.
Players will have to scour the Season of Infamy DLC for clues in the meantime. The final piece of DLC for Batman: Arkham Knight arrives on Dec. 22.
