'US, ' : '');</script> May 17, 2007 - Sources close to the project allege that the videogame sequel to Batman Begins, known as The Dark Knight, is under development by Pandemic Studios. Private equity firm Elevation Partners, which forged an alliance between Pandemic and BioWare in 2005, has gained the rights to the project, say insiders, but Batman Begins backer Electronic Arts will likely still publish the forthcoming action effort.
Pandemic Studios has over the years created an impressive library of hits, including Full Spectrum Warrior, Star Wars: Battlefront, Mercenaries and Destroy All Humans! Pandemic has purportedly been designing a secret title known as "Project B" for some time, although IGN was unable to confirm if this is, in fact, its Batman game.
EA's Batman Begins, an action-stealth game that played like Splinter Cell for kids, released in 2005 to mediocre reviews. The title sold a combined 400,000 units or so on GameCube, PlayStation 2 and Xbox in its first six months.
We were unable to reach Pandemic Studios for further details. A representative for Electronic Arts had no comment. Calls placed to equity firm Elevated Partners were not returned in time for publish.
Readers should consider this a rumor until we can officially confirm or debunk it. We'll stay on the story and update when further information becomes available.
