Rocksteady Probably Not Developing Batman: Arkham World Next

I saw it as nothing more than a joke.

It came to my mind, but it's almost surely a joke. Surely someone wouldn't name a game Batman Arkham World.

It sounds just as dumb as naming a game Arkham City.

World of ArkhamCraft

I hope the story setup is a little more thought out this time around. Still going to be another great game to an already amazing series of games! Keep it up!

The fact that Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw already made this joke makes this slightly more sad than it has any right to probably be. It won't be long until we hit Arkham Galaxy.

Seriously? What would Arkham World even be? An entire planet turned into an Arkham Prison? Now you're just being silly.

Different prisons in different locations around the world.

Next one should just be called Nananananananana Batman.

Wouldn't it be Arkham State? <..<

EDIT: Or maybe Arkham county?

Come now Patrick. I know, I know. Everything's possible in this industry, but that was a joke. Don't be like that.

I thought the next biggest thing up would be Arkham Nation. Arkham World sounds too funky to me.

Batman: Arkham Mania. Now that's a game I would play.

I am waiting for Arkham Universe.

Ugh, I hate MMOs.

But this one will reinvent the MMO genre, it has the fourth pillar that other MMOs don't have, Batman.

EVERYWHERE!

Dammit, Klepek! I'm pulling you out!

But why take over a state when you can take over the world!!!!!

Since Mark already said he won't be doing the Joker voice again, it won't be that great if they do. And the idea of Arkham World sounds more like Batman Inc. which sounds a bit odd

Super Arkham Galaxy.

With that name it would be an MMO. Hell yeah! ...not. But, yeah, seems like a joke more than anything. I doubt it's a teaser.

So they section off a piece of the world and give it to murderous and insane criminals? They should maybe slow down though.

It's a joke, the inmates in the game will say "what next, Arkham World!?" from time to time.

I really hope we do get some kind of sequel though, they're some of my favourite games this gen.

I hope that this is a joke. That would be a horrible name.

If they are really staying with that name, I'd prefer Gotham Asylum over Arkham world, or whatever.

Giving Arkham State and Arkham Nation a skip?

Does it integrate with Shootmania and Questmania?

Do you not understand that the whole thing was referencing the ending of arkham city?

The fact that he won't be needing the script to Arkham world because at the end of the game he is dead, and he said spoilers because he hinted at the fact that he won't going to be in the next game.

I expect more from Patrick. This is some hit mongering nonsense.

Only if they make "How To Be An Arkham Football Manager" afterwards. Arkham World, the title mind you, sounds really stupid.

Batman: Arkham Galaxy

Do you feel it would be wise for Giant Bomb not to try and generate more hits?

Batman: Arkhamari Damacy

Patriiiiick, don't read into a joke. I don't care if it's a slow news day either.

I seriously expect better than this from Giant Bomb & Patrick. I do not doubt a new Batman is next but it will not be called Arkham World. It was a silly joke and it is pathetic that you are trying to make it into a news story.

Holy shit, someone is SERIOUS ABOUT GAMES. Calm down children.

I think Arkham State would be better. Or perhaps Arkham Province.

I'm pretty sure "Arkham World" was a joke.

Arkham Principality, let's go.

Arkham world doesn't even make sense!

Have the Arkham city authorities conquered the entire world and just called the entire planet "Arkham"?

If not then this game title is plain dumb. Ah well, with Rocksteady at the helm I feel strongly that it could be a good game even with such a silly title.

Or it could have been a quick, easy joke. You're the worst, Klepek.

And then there's always an apologist. One calling others "children", no less.

100%

Seems like just a joke to me.

I usually expect non-news like this from sites like Kotaku...

Ugh... Come on now.
 
Ugh.

I'm actually pretty sure the next game will be Arkham Galaxy.

Boring!.. I'm over this franchise as it is. I think it was just a joke, they'd be foolish to launch into another one straight away, give it some time to mature.

Ugh this is not a news story. It's a VERY obvious joke.

Seriously....lose the Arkham moniker. Just call it Batman: Batman, Batman

Man. I knew as soon Gb get some popularity , a bunch of assholes from other site will come to sh@t in every post.

Well, it isn't THAT far fetched of an idea if you take Batman Inc. into account and having you play as different members of the Bat-Family around the world. They've already experimented with different playable characters in Catwoman, Nightwing and Red Robin. They could easily milk it more with Azrael, Batgirl, Batwoman and Robin amongst others. Hell, why not throw in playable Alfred levels.

C'mon, Patrick.

How about Arkham Demolition, so we can move on with more interesting Batman titles?

Not sure if you know what that word means. If you throw a tantrum and call people pathetic over a simple article, you are, in my eyes, a child.
