Batman Arkham Crisis Planned for 2019

As exciting as all of these rumored details may be, they don’t necessarily lend the Batman: Arkham Crisis rumor any truth, but these rumors do match with previous “leaks” about the unannounced game. For example, this leak says this new Batman game has been in development for two years, which lines up perfectly with rumors two years ago regarding Warner Bros. Montreal rebooting its Batman project.

There have also been plenty of rumors about the new Batman project featuring the Court of Owls, including what was said to be an announcement during The Game Awards 2018 confirming the game’s release in 2019. Another such rumor featured a Warner Bros. Montreal developer tweeting her Court of Owls t-shirt with the word “[Redacted],” tying into this new rumor’s claimed codename for the project being Knightfall Redacted.

And then there’s WB Montreal’s creative director telling fans on Twitter, “May 2019 bring you everything you wish!”

A new Batman project is almost certainly on its way from Warner Bros. Montreal, it seems. But whether this rumor proves true is another matter entirely. The source stems from a Discord chat, which sent a summary of this information to a YouTuber, which has since proliferated. It’s a completely unverifiable chain, which makes it about as trustworthy as a post on Reddit or 4chan. Yet there’s something about this rumor, particularly with regards to specifics regarding its release, that makes it worth sharing. Its veracity will be proven soon, as the rumor claims Batman: Arkham Crisis will be announced with the March issue of the Game Informer magazine.
