After all, “Batman” is one of the most iconic franchises in entertainment, and the games related to the superhero have always had a special spot in the hearts of gamers. This release was a huge blow to the franchise, and we wouldn’t be surprised if the effects can be felt on the next installments as well.
This line of thought can already be observed on gaming forums, where people are talking about how it would be a bad idea to preorder the next “Batman” game if it’s done by the same people, and how everyone should just wait until the game has been out for a while and is safe to buy.
But considering that these first few days after the launch are so critical for the success of a title, depriving the next game of those sales could be a huge problem for the franchise as a whole.
There is likely still a lot of time before we get to that point, but gamers will definitely be more wary of anything with the “Batman” name attached to it right now, and even if the next game in the series turns out to be a really good one, it could be a while before people warm up to it and decide to give it a chance.
