Warner Bros released a ‘Save the Date’ tease for a big game announcement in March, which led to speculations that a new Batman Arkham game might be coming from WB Games Montreal.
Rumors of a new Batman: Arkham game have surfaced after a post asking gamers to ‘Save the Date’ on March 8th. Although the tweet doesn’t plainly state what gamers should save the date for, right now the speculation is that a new Batman game announcement is just around the corner.
The tweet itself comes from IGN France, who clearly has some inside info about a new game coming coming from WB Games. While there’s not much evidence at this point, there are some strong indicators that this game announcement will be a new Batman game, potentially another entry in the Arkham series. For starters the font and color scheme of the text is reminiscent of title cards for past Arkham games, and the same Save the Date phrasing has been used to hype up those titles’ announcements as well.
Also strongly rumored is that the next Batman game will be a WB Games Montreal effort. And considering that Montreal has a large collection of French-speaking citizens, it then makes more sense why IGN France would be the ones teasing the announcement.
As to what this Batman game could be, a totally different rumor surfaced last year that claimed WB Games Montreal is working on a new Batman game starring Damien Wayne, the son of Bruce. In DC Comics lore, Damien puts on the mantle of Robin, but perhaps in this universe he becomes a new Batman.
This whole speculation, of course, is predicted on the fact that this new game announcement will be for Batman, but that has yet to be confirmed. WB has a large stable of properties in its collection, and anything could fit the bill for the announcement in March.
