WB Games Reportedly Had Plans To Announce New BATMAN, HARRY POTTER & Rocksteady Games At E3 WB Games Reportedly Had Plans To Announce New BATMAN, HARRY POTTER & Rocksteady Games At E3

While E3 was cancelled yesterday due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, a new report has shed some light on the seriously major plans Warner Bros. Games may have had for their first-ever presentation.

After it was confirmed yesterday that E3 2020 was cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Kotaku news editor Jason Schreier shared a few interesting details on what the annual video games trade show may have featured this year, including the official reveal of a number of high profile titles. 

According to his report, which included input from three separate sources familiar with their plans, Warner Bros. Games was going to host their first ever E3 press conference this year, where they were expected to officially announce a new Batman game (presumably the rumored Arkham/Court of Owls game from WB Games Montreal), an open world Harry Potter game (footage of which had initially leaked in 2018), and the long-awaited next game from Arkham developers Rocksteady Studios, details of which still remain under wraps.

With E3 no longer happening this June, everything's been thrown for a loop and what happens next remains uncertain, at best. Schreier guesstimates that since the titles are apparently ready to be revealed, WB Games may ultimately decide to hold its own digital event at or around the same time as E3 would've happened in June, but there's also an equally good possibility they decide to go in an entirely different direction with their announcements.

People are gonna lament this but I'm not. Because I'm confident they'll just do these reveals as an online stream in the place of the event.

They may have cancelled E3 as a physical event but they're not just going to not reveal all these games this year.

@Doomsday8888 - My exact thoughts. Been waiting so long for this announcement and of course they try and do it now.

Hell at this point it wouldnt surprise me if they werent intending to announce shit and just said they were going to just to tease us more.

WB Games Reportedly Had Plans To Announce New BATMAN




Every event that comes out related to games always says they are going to announce a new batman. At this point i'll believe it when I see it. Would have been cool for the rest though. Especially that open world Harry Potter Game.

@Mrcool210 - When Jason Schreier says a thing, you believe that thing. Else is heresy. He's the exact opposite of We Got This Covered. ;)

@Mrcool210 - seriously. Every single event has had that rumor. I don't see any reason to believe this one. I won't believe any reports of what they're going to announce until they actually do.

@ThouBear8 - Jason Schreier has legitimately got an 100% track record.

@Nebula - I'm just tired of hearing the same rumor. Hopefully this one is legit & we'll get some news soon.

Okay? So just announce them outside of E3, problem solved.

If it turns out to be a full reboot of the franchise like the leaks suggest, then they shouldn’t even bother.

I wish WB would take a chance with a Wonder Woman game in the style of God of War, think instead of Kratos taking on everyone, but Diana instead.

I also want to know what WB will be doing next in the world of Middle Earth, both Shadow of Mordor and War of Mordor were fun.

I also would like to see a game like Bendy and the Ink Machine or Cuphead, but Looney Tunes instead.

They can still stream that lot online and announce it properly. Nothing stopping them instead of going "Well, we were gonna do this but oh well..."

Games industries are gonna taking advantage of the current situation to boost up their product since many people are going to quarantine themselves in the house and play more games

they don't need some big stupid press conference to announce these games.

Not bummed about no live E3. Just drop the trailers online like they always do anyway. As for a new Batman game.. cool but give the rest of the DC heroes a shot. Never played any of the Harry Potter games but I'm curious what they come up with. Anything Looney Toons would be cool too.

I wish WB would make games on properties outside of DC, LOTR and Harry Potter... imagine how much fun a Matrix video game could be
