According to popular YouTuber Vara Dark, sources suggest that Rocksteady Studios may be developing a remake of Batman Arkham Asylum. While no official announcement has been made, the report indicates that the remake has been internally greenlit by Rocksteady. Warner Bros. has reportedly shown renewed interest in the Batman franchise, alongside other DC titles. As always, readers should take these early reports with a grain of salt until confirmed by the developers or publishers.
Vara Dark hinted at several details surrounding Rocksteady’s current and future projects. She mentioned that the studio might add fan-favorite characters like Deathstroke and a more “authentic” version of Batman to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in the game’s upcoming final seasons. Despite this, Dark suggested that these additions might be “too late” to bring back players who have already lost interest in the game.
The rumored Arkham Asylum remake could also include a continuation of the Arkhamverse, this time potentially featuring the voice cast from Batman: Arkham Origins. This speculation comes after reports that some of the original voice actors recently worked together on Arkham Shadows, with the support of developer Camouflaj. Dark’s source, which had correctly predicted recent layoffs at Warner Bros., hinted that this renewed focus on DC properties could mean further expansions in the beloved Arkham series.
While it remains to be seen if these rumors will materialize, the prospect of an Arkham Asylum remake is likely to excite longtime fans of the series.
