Batman Arkhamverse is at the crossroads

Batman: Arkham Shadow It was not the only game set in Arkhamverse to release last year. What was supposed to be Rocksteady's triumphant return to the franchise was ended with a disaster with last year SUICIDE SQUAD: Kill the Justice League Receiving the infamous desperate reception from fans and critics. Although it had some funny moments and his struggle could feel satisfactory in the right circumstances, SUICIDE SQUAD: Kill the Justice League was far from Arkham Items that came before him, with a living service model seriously affecting the amount and type of content in the game.

Although many of SUICIDE SQUAD: Kill the Justice LeagueThe controversial decision of the story has just been perverted in the last season of the game, the game as a whole left Arkhamverse to a little sour notes. For the fact that things are, fans are unlikely to ask for a sequel Suicide at any time soon. But that is where Batman: Arkham Shadow Maybe they just opened a new door.

Batman: Arkham Shadow could only be the beginning

When Batman: Arkham Shadow He was first announced, many fans were disappointed that another Arkhamverse record would be exclusive and even worse, the one that was exclusive for only one VR platform. But despite this initial will and despite the VR is still a relatively specialized part of the game industry, it was only confirmed Batman: Arkham Shadow He sold over 1 million copies, with more than 1 million players unlocked the first success of the game (the performance first saw YouTuber Questwithmatt).

1 million copies sold is quite a way from Batman: Arkham Knight and Originthat both reportedly sold around 7 million. And it is far from Batman: Arkham Asylum and Citywho sold 10 million and 14 million. But in terms of VR market, 1 million copies sold are an impressive milestone.

2020 HALF-LIFE: ALYX is probably the most important comparison for Arkham Shadowselling numbers. Both games meant the return of large game franchises and both games were used for sale of new glossy headsets (index Valve and Meta Quest 3/3s). Until December 2020, 9 months after its release, HALF-LIFE: ALYX sold 2 million copies. Arkham Shadow sold 1 million for just over 3 months.

So, although it may not be as successful as immediately as its counterparts with a flat screen, Batman: Arkham Shadow It is still formed as another victory for franchise. And that might be enough to convince Bros/DC to continue to explore Arkhamvers in Spinoffs as Shadow. The first step for the Warner Bros should be quick tracking of the sequel Batman: Arkham ShadowBecause the game leaves enough space for future records, especially after the recent release of its Dick Grayson aimed at a credit epilogue.
