The amazingly talented developing house known as RockSteady Studios that brought us the greatest superhero video game known to man has now been acquired by Warner Bros.

There simply is no denying the unique gameplay experience offered in BATMAN: Arkham Asylum which has gone on to received industry acclaim and sell more than 3 million copies worldwide, so with that said this acquisition was really only a matter of time.

“We are proud to strengthen our association with WBIE, a world class publisher that we have enjoyed working with since we began developing Batman: Arkham Asylum,” explained Jamie Walker, studio director of Rocksteady Games. “The Rocksteady team is very much looking forward to creating more great games based on widely recognized Warner Bros. brands like Batman.”

BATMAN fans should also be excited to know that BATMAN Arkham Asylum 2 is currently in development at RockSteady Studios and we might just get a sneak peek at E3 2010, maybe, fingers-crossed.
