Rocksteady Studios Rumored to Develop New Batman Game

According to acclaimed journalist Jason Schreier, the renowned studio Rocksteady is currently developing an exciting new single-player Batman game. While details are still limited, Schreier has not disclosed whether this game will serve as a prequel, a continuation of the beloved Arkham saga, or perhaps an entirely new universe. However, whispers from insiders suggest that the project might be centered around "Batman Beyond," immersing players into a futuristic vision of Gotham City. The studio's ambition reportedly extends to creating a full-blown trilogy. Fans can anticipate the game to launch on the next generation of consoles.

The Arkham series, known for its stunning visuals, sets the stage for what could be Rocksteady's most visually striking project yet with a futuristic Gotham. Transitioning to Batman Beyond also addresses a poignant challenge: the voice of Batman. Following the passing of the legendary Kevin Conroy in 2022, Rocksteady might choose to focus on characters like Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, a strategy similar to what Warner Bros. Montreal had in mind for their canceled sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight.

Rocksteady's last endeavor, an online shooter, unfortunately did not resonate with players and was deemed a commercial failure. The studio had to abandon its post-launch plans within a year, culminating in a hastily produced animation that backtracked on some of the game's most divisive plot points, revealing that the fallen heroes were merely clones.

Now, Rocksteady is returning to its roots with a new solo Batman adventure. However, insiders caution that fans should prepare for a wait, as the project is still several years from completion.
