We heard that Rocksteady could be working on the new Harry Potter game. That does not seem to be the case. According to new information, Rocksteady is working on a 2019 Batman Arkham game and that this will be the last one in the series.
The following are all the details regarding the 2019 Batman Arkham game that we know of so far:
