We have received word that DC Comics’s staff was misunderstood last WonderCon. No, Batman: Arkham Knight is not getting delayed. On the contrary, we are getting a new Injustice game.
First, let’s clear up the misunderstanding completely. What had happened was the applause following the trailer reveal at the event drowned out part of their announcements. The panelists (again, DC editors Mike Cotton, Shelly Bond, and Jim Chadwick) revealed that Arkham Knight was coming for sure later this year, and then revealed there was a new Injustice along the way as well. It is that game that is not coming for 2014.
We don’t have any more information on the next game aside from this, but based on Netherrealms’ previous track record, it could be guessed they will have it out by April 2015. Netherrealm usually releases games in that month, and two years is a good timeframe for a game like it.
We did find some leads for what the new game could possibly be like. It may have slipped most people’s radar, but the Injustice comic has kept going, and is now at Year Two. For Year Two, the comic series narrates a series of events leading to a showdown between the Green Lantern Corps and the One-Earth Regime. Obviously, they didn’t go for one of the happy endings from the original game for the comic, and the actual game sequel might just be the same. If you don’t mind possible spoilers, you can get more details here.
We apologize for any misunderstanding from our earlier report, but of course, we vette and relay the information as best as we can. We will make sure to keep you up to date with new details on Injustice as they are revealed. Batman Arkham Knight is coming out October 14, to Windows, Playstation 4 and Xbox One.
