Batman Game In The Works At Rocksteady Studios?

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

Specifics remain limited; Schreier hasn't confirmed whether it's a prequel, a sequel to the Arkham series, or a completely separate storyline. However, a source suggests Rocksteady is creating a Batman Beyond title, placing players in a futuristic Gotham City. The goal? A full trilogy. A next-generation console release is anticipated.

The Arkham series was lauded for its stunning graphics, and a futuristic Gotham could be Rocksteady's most visually impressive achievement yet. The Batman Beyond setting also addresses a significant challenge: Batman's voice acting. Following the passing of Kevin Conroy in 2022, the studio might focus on Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, mirroring Warner Bros. Montreal's plans for a canceled Arkham Knight sequel.

Rocksteady's previous project, 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 fallen heroes to be clones.

Rocksteady is now returning to its strengths, developing a new solo Batman experience. However, sources indicate the game is still several years from release.
