Previously Cancelled Batman Beyond Game Reportedly Being Revived By Rocksteady

Expert Verified By

Fresh And Exciting Take On Batman From Rocksteady!

Story Highlight
  • Recent reports state that Rocksteady is pivoting to single-player games focused on Batman after Suicide Squad’s failure.
  • An insider states that the studio’s next project is highly likely to be related to Batman Beyond.
  • Such a game was already in development at one point but was cancelled in favor of Gotham Knights.

Following the disaster of Suicide Squad, Rocksteady is finally looking ahead to the future. Reports suggest the studio is revisiting its single-player roots, with a return to the Batman IP all but certain.

However, the team may be approaching the IP differently than expected. According to a known leaker, the studio will focus on the Batman Beyond story for its next game.

Why it matters: Batman Beyond is very different from the traditional stories based on the character, presenting the team with an opportunity to offer a vastly different experience, even if already established fundamentals are reused.

Batman Beyond
Terry McGinnis Serves As Bruce Wayne’s Successor In This Timeline

Following reports of the studio’s return to its older franchise, popular leaker Lunatic Ignus shared his two cents on the matter. He stated that it’s likely Batman Beyond is the developer’s next target. Interestingly, this is not the first time Lunatic Ignus has alluded to this possibility.

For the unaware, a Batman Beyond-inspired game was previously said to be in development by WB Games Montreal, the same team that released Gotham Knights a few years ago and is currently helping with Wonder Woman.

This project was scrapped mid-development many years ago, but evidence related to the project was last spotted as recently as early 2024. As such, it would not be shocking to see Rocksteady reusing elements of WB Games Montreal’s work.

The most interesting part about this leak is the fact that Batman Beyond is far from similar to Rocksteady’s past work related to the character. Set in a futuristic timeline, this story sees the detective utilizing futuristic tech against a slew of new villains.

Superman
Suicide Squad Has Forced Rocksteady To Focus On Single-Player Gaming Again

Bruce Wayne also plays a role in this narrative, serving as a mentor to Terry McGinnis’ Batman. Because of how interesting this premise is, a game based on this timeline would be both fresh and incredibly exciting for fans of comic books.
