The inclusion of multiplayer makes it sound like a Warner Bros game, oh boy.
I can't wait to hear how they are somehow gonna make this game fit with the Arkham series timeline.

"Aims to be GOTY" is very funny.
But so is "Will launch on October on Halloween midnight. Could Be delayed to November" if you think about it.

I browse Arkham forums a lot and I'm telling you right now this is downright fake. We see these things surface a couple times a year ever since news came out about WB Montreal back in 2016. The Court of Owls is usually the theme and it's always laid out in this bullet point format that tries to get very specific. A leak will never say something like "aims to be GOTY". This is padding people try to give their false claims to try to make them seem more specific and thus plausible. The internet has become the intersection of easily being able to fabricate false information, and recipients lacking the ability to critically vet information.
I believe there is a new Arkham game in the works, and I believe it likely ran into some development issues because Arkham Knight had such a polished engine, much like the transition from AC to AO, it should have only taken 2-3 years. Other than that I'm not willing to bet on anything.
Here are some previous "leaks":

If the leaks are true it would seem the batmobile (as well as the batwing) would be required to fly around a map bigger then gta.
I hope they bring the batmobile back, remove the tank shit and just give me an awesome car to fly around the streets in. How are they going to tackle pedestrians etc would be an issue .

If they don't refine they awful figthing system which locks in a fighting stage like DMC games (at least DMC combat is good) with its confuse nad horrendous combo system, not a great way to evade enemies and redundant moves without even having a chance to evade such fights eventhough the game is open world then there is no way they gonna win GOTY. Such games normally must focus on combat which is their essence. Spider-Man greatly nailed it and there is no wonder GOW GOTY thanks to that.
They surely will use UE4 like MK11 otherwise I don't want any clone of the previous games.

Riddler trophies weren't that bad. I remember finding and solving all the riddles in Asylum and City.
Not sure how I feel about the huge world unless they give Bats a jet pack or something but why would they if the Batwing is replacing the Batmobile.

My point is you can convey they without neeeding all of Gotham. I think you can convey that even with a small section of Gotham, but the more there is the better.
Wait, this thread is still open? WOW.
This is one of the most obviously fake "rumors" I've seen in years.
Don't waste your time with this one people.

I'm hoping the next Batman game is next gen, I want as few open games as possible being held back by those jaguar cores.
Even the name and the reason for it sounds false. Arkham Asylum was called that because it took place in Arkham Asylum, Arkham City because they turned the whole City into Arkham, and Arkham Knight was because that was the characters name because he was created there. They all had reasons that had something to do with Arkham.
Now that they're making an animated Batman Beyond movie, I'm totally convinced we're gonna get a game about it some day, if not sooner. I hope to god this next Arkham is a Beyond game because the more I read this "leak" the less convincing it is. Hasn't Jason Schreier come out and debunked this yet?
You're telling me an article that reads like someone smashed their face into a keyboard while their editor sat in the corner freebasing chopped up advance fee scam e-mails may not, in fact, be entirely kosher
Day time Gotham?
Bigger world than GTAV?
Side quests that are longer than the main acts?
Absolute bullshit. What a terrible 'rumor'

Old bump.
And yes, they had rumors of working on a thousand Batman games.
At what point did the OP say that No one else is aiming for GOTY....?
I think that the message is that it aims to be a premier title.
My bad, was clicking through stuff and didn't realize how old this thread was
Reminds me of Rocksteady before the launch of Arkham Asylum. They said they`re aiming for 90+ metascore or something like that. This is no different... if true, of course. Every developer and publisher wants (and surely most try) to deliver GOTY-material, so this is not shoking news.
I feel like a new entry into the Arkham series could give those games a run for their GOTY money.
Don't try to make sense out of it. It's false until proven wrong. The list doesn't make any sense...
So, like Oscar bait, we now have Game of the Year bait? Weird. I mean, I hope it's good and all but that's an odd statement, sounds like something a suit with absolutely zero know-how in development would say.
Why is everyone so hung up on the GOTY comment? It makes sense to me.
As much as we probably like to think otherwise - only certain genres of games have a chance at winning the overall GOTY each year. Racing or fighting games don't win. Open world or cinematic action/adventure games do. Genre is half the battle, and the Arkham series already has that going for it, so the studio knows that GOTY isn't off the table.
On top of that, I would imagine that they're emphasising aspects that they know reviewers typically like. Maybe this one will have a more emotional story, for example? Are we all ready for Batman to have a child companion lol? Just like some films aim for the Oscars, you could definitely make a GOTY-bait game if you really tried.
Finally, the publisher is presumably giving the devs the time needed to really polish the game in ways that should hopefully secure a 90+ metascore. That's the other half of the battle.

Are you sure you aren't also getting hung up on the GOTY comment? Because the whole rumour sounds like nonsense even without the GOTY comment.
If the rumor said it was based around the Adam West series I'd be more inclined to believe it.

I just wish we got a confirmation of what they are actually making,
Arkham Origins 2 - in 1000%
Suicide Squad - most likely in
Damian Batman - buy when it gets discounted unless its incredible.
