Leaked Survey Points to a Rocksteady Remaster of Batman Arkham games

NeoGAF users believe they’ve found evidence of Rocksteady Studio’s plan to remaster the first two Batman Arkham games

When Rocksteady Studios first entered the world of superhero video games no one was sure what to expect, most expected their game to be a total disaster. In 2009 they shocked everyone with the release of Batman: Arkham Asylum, a smash hit with reviewers and gamers. The studio quickly followed that massive success with a title even more popular than Batman: Arkham City that proved Rocksteady had perfected superhero video games. Now the final title in their Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight is right around the corner.

Batman: Arkham Knight is shaping up to be the strongest title in the series but it’s still a bittersweet moment for fans who don’t want it to end. Rumors have started circulating that Rocksteady has a plan to help fans who are looking for more time with the Dark Knight. Rumors have been spreading for months about plans to release remastered versions of the first two Batman Arkham games and now one fan says he’s found proof.

NeoGAF user Sangetsu-II, posted screencaps today of an alleged survey put out by Rocksteady to fans asking how interested they would be in playing a remastered versions of the first two Batman Arkham games. The survey lists the package with a tentative title of “the Arkham HD collection” and states that would include updated character models and environment, with improved lighting, new dynamic rendering, and new post-processing effects. Alongside those new HD visuals the Rocksteady survey says the remastered collection would come with all of the DLC from both games.

Sagentsu-II also posted three pieces of concept art from the potential Rocksteady remasters that accompanied the survey that asked which image made them the most interested in the HD package. The images include Batman & the Joker perfectly capturing the struggle between them during the first two Batman Arkham games. Finally the Rocksteady survey gives fans a list of potential names for the HD package including: Batman: Arkham Anthology and Batman: Arkham Legacy asking fans which title made them want to buy the package most.

Sagentsu-II’s post gives a huge boost to the rumors of a Rocksteady remaster and has fans hoping the studio will officially announce HD package at E3 next month. Even if the rumors turn out to be false fans are still in for an amazing experience with Batman: Arkham Knight when it lands on June 23, 2015.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
