New Batman Game Is Possibly Set For E3 Announcement

In the nearly two years since Batman Arkham Knight’s release, the rumor of a new Batman game has become a regular occurrence, happening once every three months or so. The last time this happened was prior to Shadow Of War’s announcement, where many people assumed WB Games teasings were leading up to a Batman game reveal, which they were not. Now, the rumor mill has started up again as information hints at a new Batman game set to be announced at E3 2017.

The Costa Rican gaming site, UP2Play has uploaded a series of official images listing E3 exhibitors and the games that they’re showing. Curiously the WB Games booth has both Shadow of War and “New Batman Game” listed underneath its billing, inferring that they’ll both be on display at E3 2017. There’s also a small asterisk adjacent to the Batman Game listing which may imply the game is getting officially announced at E3 2017. This would fall in line with two of the games above it at Ubisoft’s booth: Beyond Good and Evil 2 and Assassins Creed 2017; neither of which have been officially announced, but E3 would definitely make the perfect stage to do so.

Rocksteady has said that they’ve finished their time with Batman and Arkham VR was the last hurrah. If the rumor of a new title is true, this may be an Arkham Origins follow-up or the rumored Justice League game by WB Montreal. We won’t know for sure until E3 comes around later this year in June.
