Warner Bros. Interactive has confirmed that the next Batman: Arkham title, currently named Batman: Arkham 3, will be released sometime this year.

During the company’s Q4 2012 earnings call, Time Warner CFO John Martin revealed that 2013 will be the year for Batman: Arkham 3.

“And we also have a strong games release this year, which will include the next release in the Batman Arkham franchise,” said Martin. “So all in all, we expect Warners to post another very strong year in 2013. And with a little luck, the year should be as good or maybe even a little bit better than 2012.”

Following on from the 2009 Batman: Arkham Asylum and the 2011 Batman: Arkham City releases, the third Batman: Arkham game has yet to be named or assigned a developer.

Warner Bros. Interactive has not given any details about what platforms Batman: Arkham 3 will launch on, but critics are nonetheless suggesting the understated Batman: Arkham 3 release date revelation could mean it is a next-gen title, launching on the Microsoft Xbox 720 and Sony Playstation 4.

Even if this is true, very little else is known about the game, especially the setting. Rumours suggest Batman: Arkham 3 could be a prequel to the first two games, set in the 1950s' Silver Age of Comics. Depicting Batman’s first encounter with the Joker, the Silver Age game was reportedly in production last summer by Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City developer Rocksteady, but never came to fruition.

The last Batman: Arkham game, Batman: Arkham City, sold 4.6 million units worldwide in its opening week, soaring to game chart top spots across all platforms and earning itself a place as one of 2011's best selling titles. Both games in the series have achieved great success, winning multiple Game of the Year awards and a Video Game BAFTA each. Batman: Arkham City won in the 2012 Action category and Batman: Arkham Asylum took the Best Game gong in 2010.

If Batman: Arkham 3 builds on the successes of its predecessors, it seems it could be a potential best seller for 2013 despite strong competition from titles already tipped to top this year's charts.

I AM READY

DON'T CARE WHO IS MAKING IT

IT'S BATMAN
 
Jade what is your man of choice?

Bruce
Jason
Grayson
Azrael

Im pretty sure It's wayne. What if it's got the battle for the cowl storyline bringing in all past Red robin and getting rid of Joker being the main antagonist. Is what im really wanting.
 
Arkham City left so many open possibilities for a third game. I'm gonna be disappointed if they do a prequel instead. If it's made by Rocksteady though, I'm sure it'll be great.
 
My ballz hurt from reading this.... next gen, who has the money for that? Ill wait for next year when im done playing injustice.
 
I'm exited to see how Scarecrow makes it in this game. They better put him in the game after people spent all that time decoding with secret messages.


And the boat too.

 
A prequel huh? Well its batman so cool but I would be in pain if its for next gen instead for the current gen oh well we will see when we get more info on it but till then I will be too busy playing injustice.
