If youre looking for the continuation of the story established in Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight, its not in the upcoming WB Montreal video game starring the Bat-family that more closely resembles those titles. As we found out at DC FanDome, its Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that is an extension of the Arkhamverse.
As revealed throughout the Suicide Squad video games panel, Kill the Justice League continues the narrative developed in the previous Rocksteady Arkham games. Some of the narrative threads established in that trilogy will be picked up here, although specifics werent shared. We do understand the game informs an original story where theyre obviously charged with removing the Justice League, including Superman.
On the other hand, Gotham Knights will not be– WB Games Montreal told ComicBook, “Gotham Knights is an initial story set in DCs Batman Universe and not linked to the Arkham series.”
This news might come as rather of a surprise, considered that Kill the Justice League appears to have a more easy going tone of the two video games. In a method, it makes sense: Kill the Justice League is the brand-new game from Rocksteady, whereas Gotham Knights comes from WB Games Montreal. The latter studio did establish Batman: Arkham Origins, however thats not thought about part of the core trilogy of Arkham games.
This means itll be a while yet prior to the Arkham story is continued– Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released in 2022 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Gotham Knights, on the other hand, will release in 2021 for PC, PS4, Xbox Series X, PS4, and Xbox One.
