More Games in the Arkham-verse? The Future of the DC Universe
Hey there, fellow gamers! If you’re a fan of Rocksteady Studios’ Batman Arkham games, I’ve got some exciting news for you. It seems like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League might not be the end of the Arkham-verse! According to James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, there are potential plans for more games set in the same universe.
Now, I know it’s been a while since the last entry in the Arkham series, Arkham Knight, graced our screens almost a decade ago. It’s easy to forget that Suicide Squad is actually set within the same universe. But with the release of Suicide Squad approaching, it’s natural to wonder what lies ahead for the Arkham universe. And guess what? James Gunn hinted at the possibility of more games in a now-deleted post on Instagram.
Before you panic, don’t worry! I managed to dig up some screenshots of the post, so we can still get a glimpse of what Gunn said. In response to a question about whether Suicide Squad will be the last game in the Arkham-verse, Gunn confidently replied, “No plans of it being the last!” That’s music to my ears, and I’m sure it is to yours as well.
James Gunn: A Fan at the Helm
Now, you might be wondering how much weight we should give to Gunn’s words. After all, he did delete the post, which raises some eyebrows. But here’s the thing, my fellow gamers: James Gunn is now partially responsible for the future of games based on DC characters as the head of DC Studios. With his position, he undoubtedly has insights into what’s happening at Rocksteady, the developer behind Suicide Squad. So, while we should take his words with a pinch of salt, it’s still exciting to know that he’s personally invested in the future of the Arkham-verse.
And let’s not forget Gunn’s enthusiasm! In another post that’s still up, he responded to a fan’s concern about Suicide Squad potentially being the last game in the Arkham-verse with a resounding, “No way! I personally can’t wait for the game and hopefully more. I’m a fan!” As gamers, we love seeing developers and studio heads who are just as passionate about the games as we are.
A Delayed Arrival, but Worth the Wait?
Now, let’s talk about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League itself. I know it’s been delayed multiple times, which can be frustrating. Initially expected to arrive in 2022, then pushed to 2023, and now set for a release in February 2024, it’s been a long wait. But hey, good things come to those who wait, right?
Despite the delays, there’s some good news. In a post-launch update, you’ll be able to play the game offline. So even if you’re not always connected to the internet, you can still enjoy the thrilling experience of taking down the Justice League as the infamous Suicide Squad.
In Conclusion: The Future of the Arkham-verse
So, my fellow gamers, buckle up and get ready for more adventures in the Arkham-verse! While we can’t say for certain what these future games will entail, the fact that James Gunn, the head of DC Studios, hinted at more games is reason enough to be excited. As we eagerly await the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, let’s keep our fingers crossed that Rocksteady has more surprises in store for us.
Remember, gaming is all about perseverance and overcoming challenges. Just like we tackle difficult levels and boss fights, let’s face the uncertainty of the future with the same determination. And who knows, maybe these new games will bring us even more thrilling experiences than we could have ever imagined.
Stay tuned, gamers! The Arkham-verse is far from over, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us next.
