8 Upcoming Superhero Games That Could Be The Next Batman: Arkham

8. Marvel's Spider-Man

From the moment this game was shown, expecatations were higher for a Spider-Man game than they had ever been before. You see, from 2000 until 2014, Activision was the publisher behind Spider-Man games. Over the course of those 14 years, the publisher produced 14 games. It doesn't take a genius to tell you that is not a formula for success.

Now, to be fair, some of those games were good; the original PS1 Spider-Man was excellent, Spider-Man 2 is, to date, the most popular web-slinging game ever made, and then Shattered Dimensions and Edge of Time were fairly decent titles. However, Activsion drove the license into the ground and its last few Spider-Man titles were pretty much cash-grabs before their deal with Marvel expired.

Following that deal, Marvel paired with Insomniac Games, developer of Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, and Sunset Overdrive, to make a Spider-Man title. The developers' previous three games show that they can craft funny and colourful characters, emotional and personal stories, and zany open-worlds with amazing traversal. That's why fans are super excited for Spider-Man on PS4, and the early buzz around the game suggests this could very well be the next Arkham series.
