Rumor: Rocksteady Studios is developing a new Batman game

According to acclaimed journalist Jason Schreier, the renowned studio Rocksteady is diligently working on an exciting new single-player Batman game. While specifics are still under wraps, Schreier hasn't disclosed if this project will serve as a prequel, a continuation of the beloved Arkham saga, or an entirely new universe. However, intriguing rumors suggest that Rocksteady might be crafting a futuristic Gotham adventure inspired by "Batman Beyond," with the ambitious goal of creating a full trilogy. Fans can look forward to experiencing this on the next generation of gaming consoles.

The Arkham series was celebrated for its stunning visuals, and a futuristic Gotham could potentially be Rocksteady's most visually impressive creation to date. Transitioning to Batman Beyond also addresses a poignant challenge: the iconic voice of Batman. Following the passing of the legendary Kevin Conroy in 2022, the studio might shift its focus to characters like Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, a strategy similar to what Warner Bros. Montreal had envisioned for its canceled follow-up to Batman: Arkham Knight.

Rocksteady's most recent endeavor, an online shooter, didn't resonate with players and ultimately underperformed. The studio had to abandon its post-launch plans within a year, culminating in a hastily produced animation that undid some of the game's most contentious plot developments, revealing that the fallen heroes were actually clones.

Now, Rocksteady is returning to what it does best—developing a new solo Batman adventure. However, industry insiders caution that fans will need to wait several years before this much-anticipated project reaches their screens.
