Dark Knight publisher goes on potential Arkham Asylum sequel registry spree; titles include "Arkham City," "Grand Delusion," "Ashes of Gotham," "Taste of Villainy," and many more.
Rocksteady Studios' Batman: Arkham Asylum was one of the best-reviewed games of 2009. It garnered both
critical acclaim and
commercial success, prompting the inevitable
sequel.
Batman: Reloaded is not one of the possible names (thankfully).
Some details on the follow-up have now surfaced in the form of a myriad of domain name registrations. Publisher Warner Bros. Interactive, which
acquired a controlling interest in Rocksteady in February, has binged on Batman-themed domain names according to freelance Internet sleuther
Superannuation. Some 15 unique URLs were registered on July 7, and all of them are related to the Batman lexicon.
The domain name registries include:
