Rocksteady wants to make more Batman games after Arkham City

4 October 2011

Developer Rocksteady has hinted to CVG that we can expect more Batman games from them following the upcoming Batman: Arkham City.

When asked about the possibility of more Batman games, Rocksteady’s Marketing Game Manager Dax Ginn said “Man. That’s really tough,” and that “as long as we’re still enjoying it and as long as we feel we can contribute to the Batman universe… That’s how it feels. There’s some amazing stuff going on with Batman all around the world at the moment and we feel as though we’re making our own little contribution in the form of the Arkham-verse. So as long as we’ve got stories to tell, so long as we feel we can do that and do that really well.”

He also confirmed that as long as the studio has fresh ideas for the character and the Batman universe, it is keen to continue working with the franchise.

“There’s no other character that’s as awesome as Batman who’s got such an incredible rogues gallery, who’s got such and amazing structure for gameplay. All it takes is to give a guy an assault rifle and it changes the entire nature of combat,” he said. “So you can put Batman up against 30 thugs in the street and just cane them and feel like a total don but as soon as one of them’s got a shotgun you have to rethink what you do. That’s really rare for a superhero and we really love using the facets of his personality to create gameplay out of that.”
