The well received Batman: Arkham Asylum has, inevitably, now got a group of developers working hard on a sequel.

Batman Returns?  Nope, that one has already been used.  Batman: Arkham Asylum 2?  Surely that is too bland.  Perhaps a significant amount of time spent by the Rocksteady Studios team is already devoted to naming the upcoming sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum.

No details are forthcoming, such as which platforms the caped one will be heading for, but either way, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is pretty chuffed to announce that said sequel is under development.

WBIE says: The sequel to Batman: Arkham Asylum is currently in development with Rocksteady Studios and is based on DC Comics’ core Batman property. Fans can visit www.arkhamhasmoved.com to sign up to receive updates regarding the game.
 
“We are thrilled to build a global game franchise from Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is receiving an incredible response from gamers and Batman fans around the world,” said Martin Tremblay, President, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “Rocksteady has taken Batman to a new level in the video game space and we are committed to delivering a sequel the fans will love.”

“Getting the opportunity to create Batman: Arkham Asylum and seeing its success has been a dream come true for the team,” said Sefton Hill, Game Director, Rocksteady Studios. “We are honoured to create the next chapter in this compelling story and promise to deliver another game worthy of the DARK KNIGHT.”
