With this cancellation officially breaking the hearts of many, another game called Batman: Arkham Insurgency might be in line for a potential release, although there have not been any substantial reports or updates regarding the same in the past year or so.
There have been rumors flying around the scene about the release of a new game in the linear series of Arkham but now, it is difficult to say if we are ever going to see it in action. The post also mentions by their names some of the other projects in the cancellation line-up like a rejected Superman game and a Suicide Squad game that was under the prying rumors of fans for years now. The game was under the developmental concepts of WB Montreal that again explains the introduction of the Nemesis System in a Batman storyline. The post that has been made anonymously does not say anything about the reason behind this cancellation or till what stage the development went into but all that could be understood out of it that the project was not undertaken by Rocksteady. This one in particular would have been one of the biggest attractions of the game if it released. Both Middle Earth games have used the significance of the Nemesis System that allows many unknown stories to come to light as the gamer gradually increases his difficulty levels to combat enemies, thus creating considerable ruckus among the enemy hierarchical structure. A major inclusion in the series would have been that of Nemesis System from the storyline of Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. This version would have allowed gamers to ride around Gotham in the fancy Batbike, a striking change from the previously utilized Batmobile, although there is no trace of it in the artwork that was leaked. The post also divulges the names of some of the planned game mechanics as well in the canceled sequel. It also shows a glimpse of the iconic Wayne Enterprises building that seems to be abandoned and is disintegrating with time. But sadly, Gotham City’s destruction and run-down in the artwork is disheartening. There is a conspicuous display of these characters along with some interesting snapshots of Gotham City. The concept art that has been doing the rounds and picking up pace in terms of fan anticipation shows important characters of the story like Poison Ivy, an aged Dick Grayson (whose reappearance as Nightwing has been presumed for long), Gorilla Grodd, a female version of Black Mask, and an older Two-Face with his third personality, the Judge, would have been part of some of the main characters in the new game. The codename that was given to this speculated game that was already in its developmental stage was ‘Project Sabbath’ and has some interesting additions in terms of characters, plots, and themes along with some being introduced in the entire series while others are just continuations of from older versions of the series. The original post that can be traced back to 4chan disclosed that it is part of a new game of the same franchise highlighting the life and storyline of Damien Wayne during a time when Batman has already retired from being the social savior and is in his old age. The graphical artwork of canceled Batman Arkham Knight sequel surfaces online and is creating a substantial stir among enthusiastic fans.
A concept artwork featuring some captivating character designs can be seen around various online platforms that are supposedly from 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight canceled sequel. You can check out the new concept art below.įans are still clamoring for a new entry in the Batman franchise, and while there aren’t any solid findings of such a game being in development, DC fans can look forward to Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League when they release next year.There is something pretty interesting doing the rounds on the internet these days. If this was indeed a Batman Beyond game, that would mean the younger Batman depicted in the art is Terry McGinnis- though if this was supposed to be an Arkham sequel, perhaps this was Damian Wayne.
There’s also a younger Batman Beyond-inspired Batman who has a red logo on his suit, alongside red streaks on the side of his vehicle.
The artwork shows a grizzled Bruce Wayne, alongside what seems to be a new Batman sporting a modern Batsuit and technology. While details surrounding what this project exactly is are thin, it’s likely that the concept art originates from Project Sabbath, the cancelled Batman: Arkham Knight sequel that WB Games Montreal had been working on at one point. Freelance concept artist Goran Bukvic has uploaded new pieces of artwork over on ArtStation, which seems to be a concept art for a canceled Batman game.
