A new adventure lies in store for the Dark Knight, courtesy of Rocksteady!Kotaku have today revealed the existence of promotional materials timed to coincide with an imminent announcement of a new entry in the Batman: Arkham video game franchise. Reportedly dispatched to GameStop stores in the US today, the artwork features the series' bat-shaped logo with a fire-engulfed border, and as is usually the case for such pre-announcement concept art, should mean that a fully-fledged press release from the relevant publisher isn't too far away.
One of the universally acclaimed Batman: Arkham City (2011)'s side missions may in fact allude to the significance of the flaming rendition of the Dark Knight's iconic symbol of nocturnal justice. In a chance encounter with the mysterious watcher Azrael, our hero is informed of a dangerous Prophecy for days to come, involving "events [occurring] that [he] cannot stop", "the warrior who will close the gates of Hell" and, most importantly, the "fires" that will "rage" and "burn" both Gotham and its Caped Crusader. Could it be that such an apocalyptic event awaits us in what seems guaranteed to be Rocksteady's third contribution to their prized saga? Expect to learn the first hints of the truth in just a few short days' time (next week would be our guess!)...
Batman: Arkham Origins- Cold, Cold Heart will retail on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and PC marketplaces this April 22nd.
