Once again, this Batman canceled project resurfaces with gameplay that makes you dream. What offer a different vision of the hero … and clearly saddened fans
What if Damian Wayne had really put on the cape? This is what a new video suggests recently that has recently been circulating on the networks. We discover new images of a project Batman Abandoned by Rocksteady, the creators of the Arkham series. A game centered on the son of Bruce Wayne, never released, but which could have offered a major turning point to the saga.
A secret Batman project resurfaces
The sequence was shared by The Arkham Channela well -known chain of fans. We see a motorcycle prosecution between Damian and Killer Croc, in a city with still very raw decorations. The textures are incomplete, the models not definitive … but the atmosphere is there. Dark, tense, nervous. Even in unfinished version, we guess the Batman potential.
The game apparently brought the code name Project Sabbath. He had to stage Damian Wayne in the role of Batman, under the supervision of an aging Bruce Wayne. A passage of relays, in a way, in the heart of a still threatening Gotham.
A spiritual sequence at the Arkham saga
After Batman Arkham Knight, Rocksteady seemed to want to take a turn. This game, never formalized, would have extended the Arkham universe while offering a new look. Damian, more impulsive than his father, would have brought a more direct, more brutal combat style. A way to explore another face of the black knight, younger, more conflicting.
Elements of scenario also begin to emerge. The presence of Killer Crochere modeled from Batman Arkham Origins, suggests an important role. Other characters like The Hunterress (Huntress) appear in the concept arts related to the project. In short, the universe was in place, even if everything remained to be refined.
Why has this game never saw the light of day?
Difficult to say with certainty. What we know is that Rocksteady finally changed direction. The studio preferred to focus on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. A choice which, retrospectively, divides. The game received a mixed welcome, far from the critical success of the Arkham trilogy.
Instead, Project Sabbath remained in the drawers. And it’s a shame, because this Batman version could have offered a real breath of fresh air to the license. A hero in the making, a tired mentor, classic enemies … All the ingredients were there to restart the machine.
