Two days ago, the internet was taken by a storm when Harry Potter: Magic Awakened footage was leaked. Initially many thought the game to be a project of RockSteady, the developer behind the insanely famous Batman games especially “Batman: Arkham Knight”. This speculation proved to be false and we found out that Avalanche Studios is developing the game. Today, however, we have another rumor involving RockSteady. Apparently, RockSteady is developing a new multiplayer Batman Game called Batman ArkhamUniverse.
