Eventually it was revealed that there was indeed going to be a new game in the Arkham series, but there wasn’t any other details released at that time. We do know now, though, that the next Batman game will be known as Batman: Arkham Origins.

Games Montreal, and will feature many different super villains, including Deathstroke. Expect to see Arkham Origins on October 25th of this year for the Wii U, PS3, Xbox 360, and the PC. It’s not known if it’ll be released for the PS4 or the next Xbox at this time.

On the same day Armature Studio (a company founded by several of the lead developers of the Metroid Prime trilogy) will be releasing Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate. According to Game Informer, it’s intended to be a “2.5-D Metroid-style exploration action game”.
