For years, fans have been speculating about what’s been in development at WB Games Montreal. Most of the rumors and leaks point to WB Games Montreal working on a newBatmangame, though there has been some disagreement about whether it’s a newArkhamsequel or a series reboot. While official confirmation still has yet to come, new evidence seems to favor the theory that the newBatmangame is indeed a reboot.
James Sigfield, who originally broke the news that thenewBatmangame is a reboot, recently shared a Resetera thread that discovered some interesting information. The post, by user est1992, pointed out how a WB Games Montreal employee stated that they have been working as a Sr Producer on an undisclosed title, and that the title is a “new IP.” Assuming that WB Games Montreal is truly working on a newBatmangame has been rumored, then this seems to confirm that the new game isn’t anArkhamsequel. However, it’s also possible that it means a “new IP” in a literal sense, meaning it’s something brand new and unrelated toBatmanor DC Comics.

Something else of note is thatWB Games Montrealappears to have started work on its next project. This could indicate that itsBatmangame is much farther along in development than one would have expected. This combined with WB Games Montreal’s own teases seems to suggest that aBatmangame announcement could be imminent, but every time it seems that the studio is finally going to announce the game, nothing ever comes of it.
Whenever WB Games Montreal does finally announces its long rumoredBatmangame, it will be interesting to learn which rumors were true and which were fake. The latest rumors claim that thenewBatmangame has co-op, with players playing as various members of the “Batfamily.” Rumors also say that this newBatmangame will apparently kick off a connected universe of DC Comics video games.
Older rumors point to the newBatmangame being about theCourt of Owls storylinefrom the comic books. Whether or not that’s still the case remains to be seen, but hopefully fans won’t have to wait much longer to find out for sure. In the meantime, speculation about WB Games Montreal’s rumoredBatmanproject will continue.
Batmanis rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
