Teased during the opening of Spike's Video Game Award Show, Batman: Arkham Asylum is getting a sequel. The Joker dropped off a giant present for fans in attendance.
No other details, such as a title, were given. But as expected, the location of the sequel may not be at Arkham Asylum as "Arkham has moved" website has been posted, though currently still 404'd.
In trailer shown, a sickly Joker recovers from the events of the first game in a rundown carnival. Gotham City is shown in the trailer, along with the Penguin's Iceberg Lounge nightclub and an "Uncle Sam" style poster referencing Two-Face (one side of the outfit is different from the other, and the hand holding the gun is scared a red color).
Developed by Rocksteady, the original garnered universal praise from fans and media. A sequel, while teased early, should come as no surprise.
"We are thrilled to build a global game franchise from Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is receiving an incredible response from gamers and Batman fans around the world," said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Rocksteady has taken Batman to a new level in the video game space and we are committed to delivering a sequel the fans will love."
"Getting the opportunity to create Batman: Arkham Asylum and seeing its success has been a dream come true for the team," said Sefton Hill, Game Director, Rocksteady Studios. "We are honored to create the next chapter in this compelling story and promise to deliver another game worthy of the DARK KNIGHT."
