New Batman Game Hinted in Rocksteady Studios Rumors

Reputable gaming journalist Jason Schreier reports that the celebrated Rocksteady Studios is developing a new, single-player Batman game.

Specific details remain limited; Schreier hasn't confirmed if it's a prequel, a sequel to the Arkham series, or a completely separate narrative. However, a source suggests Rocksteady is creating a Batman Beyond title, placing players in a futuristic Gotham City. The ambitious plan? A full trilogy. The game's release is anticipated on next-generation consoles.

The Arkham series was praised for its stunning graphics, and a futuristic Gotham setting could be Rocksteady's most visually impressive work yet. The Batman Beyond direction also addresses the challenge of replacing the voice of the late Kevin Conroy. The studio might focus on Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, mirroring Warner Bros. Montreal's intentions for their canceled Arkham Knight sequel.

Rocksteady's previous venture, an online shooter, underperformed, leading to the cancellation of post-launch content within a year. A rushed animated conclusion retconned controversial plot points, revealing certain characters to be clones.

Rocksteady has returned to its strengths, creating a new solo Batman experience. However, sources caution that the project is still several years from release.
