Best case scenario is that we get a Batman Beyond game set in the Arkham universe that can act as a reboot of the series.
What we’ll actually get is an extraction style shooter where you play as a bunch of thugs trying to rob Wayne Manor. One player will get to play as The Batman, but only if you have the exclusive Battle Pass that comes with the “I Am The Night Digital Deluxe Edition”.

That will NEVER happen. PC is by far the biggest market, no AAA Game would ever ignore that.

Xbox putting its exclusive games on Playstation meanwhile Playstation doesnt put any games on Xbox even the ones that go to every other platform including Switch like Lego Horizon and Freedom Wars Remastered, is paying third party games like Silent Hill 2 to exclusively skip Xbox even if they launch every where else, and even went as far as to pay for exclusivity for the prologue animations in Sonic X Shadow generations
Goddamnitpappy
Sony. Stop. Get help.
Stop trying to buy exclusivity where none should exist. If it’s a Sony owned studio making a Playstation exclusive, I get it. But they need to stop trying to buying their exclusive content. Microsoft is sharing their games, ffs. And Sony can’t help but to double down. They don’t even view Nintendo as their direct competition and they have clearly maintained a lead over Microsoft. So why? Wtf.

That would make me buy another ps5

What Rocksteady? Arkham dev team seems to be long gone.

Rocksteady should sit down and have a nice chat with Square Enix, they have recent feelings about this kind of thing.
Sherinz89
Could not understand why studio think exclusivity is a good idea for them
I mean…. look at FF16 for example
Hype and all for the game, played or watching many played or even not played but inevitably spoiled
After a year or so only to be release on PC? After all that?
What hype is left for many people after all that? Since they can wait for 1 year, they can certainly wait for discount
Gay-Bomb
Nah man, let everyone enjoy it. If it’s good.

Stop with the exclusive content, get over yourselves. Make a good product and people will buy it. Don’t try to coerce people into buying a PlayStation for an exclusive game. It can’t be worth the cost
Jeremiahtothenations
This is current day Rocksteady we’re talking about, an absolute husk of a developer, Sony can have it…

Fuck exclusives

Lmao I hope elder scrolls 6 doesn’t come to Playstation, just to show Sony how fucking asinine this is

Can’t understand fanboys that think the downfall of a competitor will be good for consumers. F exclusives.

I doubt Rocksteady would want to make their next Batman game a time exclusive to Playstation 5 at the moment.

Because it worked so well with concord

The worst idea you can do is to spend money on a dead franchise. The Arkhamverse is torched because of Sewer Slide Squad and you can’t fix it, even if you made it non-canon.

I will believe it when i see it, Warner Bros. has only shown interest in chasing the GaaS trend

To those who don’t have a PS – I wouldn’t be so worried, if Suicide Squad KTJL is anything to go by….then this studio is a shell of its former self and may not be capable of producing another good Batman game.

Rocksteady is on life support, Zaslav is the big boss at Warner and he doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to saving money, if this exclusivity can lead to the studio not closing then I’m all for it.

Enough of rocksteady batman games, it’s been milked to death already.
Arkham Knight was good but it was clearly on a downward spiral.
Even if they did Terry, it’d be the same copy and paste stuff but this time they’ll put batwing in. Then there’ll be some form of Joker in the future, mb the rogues’ gallery coming through some time travel thing and batman has to send each one back.
The series should end with Conroy. Even Hamill didn’t want to do it anymore iirc

WB wondering why it didn’t really hit sales projections in a few years 🤣.
Im_Ashe_Man
Haha, they’ll call it Suicide Squad: The Batman Returns.

It’s gonna be another VR game…

Exclusivity so they can ban the 100 something odd countrues from also enjoying this game?
Or allow it to be on pc several years later

What a nothing story. This isn’t corroborated anywhere, it’s just one person saying this.

What’s the point? PS5 is the only console that matters this generation. There is no competition.

Guarantee they would lock certain features such as performance mode behind the PS5 Pro in an attempt to sell more thousand dollar consoles.

Rocksteady is a shell of its former self as much of the talent has left. I have very low expectations for this title but if it turns out good it’ll be a plus

Just fucking take the original mechanics, give us Batman: Beyond with that, do something new and neat, whip up a cool story and let’s go. You don’t have to re-invent the damn wheel every time, man. Just let me beat up some thugs with a sweet and responsive combat system.

Jesus Christ greed has no limits. Just make a good game, release on all platforms, and everyone will buy it. Elden Ring sold 25 million copies, and even had a good extra bonus from it’s DLC.
They’ve clearly seen the mind-blowing success of multi-platform launches, I don’t know why they can’t just stick to it. I literally don’t know anyone that bought Horizon Forbidden West on Steam.

Just save up and buy a PC people you don’t have to worry about the word exclusive … Normally means “will be ported eventually” for us
