Many players are worried about the future of Rocksteady following the catastrophic failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The studio, known for the excellent Batman Arkham series, suffered layoffs after their live service game failed to meet the expectations of fans and Warner Bros.
It is rumored that the company will abandon Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to focus on their future and new projects; however, this has not been confirmed. This morning, promising news emerged for the studio's fans, as a source claims that Rocksteady will indeed dedicate itself to another game.
The most exciting part is that it could be a new Batman title, something that The Dark Knight fans have been waiting for years. The report has generated a lot of anticipation, as the community believes it would be the perfect way for Rocksteady to return to its glory days.
Rocksteady might make a new Batman game that could be a PlayStation exclusive
Batman Arkham was a watershed moment for action-adventure games based on superheroes. For this reason, it’s no surprise that it became a benchmark for later titles inspired by DC, Marvel, and other franchises.
Its legacy is undeniable, but the saga has been absent for quite some time, as Rocksteady spent years working on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Fans have been asking for its return, and it seems there’s a possibility of that happening.
According to insider Shpeshal Nick, Rocksteady is already working on a new Batman game. The source clarified that it will not be a remaster or a remake of past franchise titles, as it would be a completely different project.
Another striking detail is that the informant claimed that Sony has its sights set on the next Batman game. As a result, the company would try to finance it so that it becomes a PlayStation exclusive.
That said, there is no solid information about the game, but The Dark Knight's fans are clearly hoping for something similar to Batman Arkham. Although the source has proven reliable on multiple occasions, keep in mind that this is just a rumor for now.
Given the enormous failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it makes sense for Rocksteady to try to make a big comeback with the franchise that made them famous, but it’s best to wait for more information on the matter.
In already confirmed news, a new Batman game is on the way. It's called Batman: Arkham Shadow[, a project that initially excited some players but later disappointed many for being a virtual reality title.
