- A reliable journalist says Rocksteady’s next project will see the team returning to the Batman Arkham IP.
- The studio is interested in making another single-player title after Suicide Squad’s live-service failure.
- Despite ambitious plans, the new game is still several years away.
The Batman Arkham franchise is known for its redefining titles, high-octane combat, and a lot more. Despite these strengths, developer Rocksteady recently pivoted to a live-service approach with Suicide Squad, leaving fans of the series disappointed and unfulfilled.
This game became one of Warner Bros’ biggest failures last year, and it seems the studio is now eyeing a return to Batman in the future.
Why it matters: Rocksteady is best known for this IP, and a high-quality Batman game could instantly redeem the studio after its latest failure.
As per reliable journalist Jason Schreier, Rocksteady intends to make another Batman game in the future. His latest report outlines that this project will offer single-player gameplay and shift away from live-service trend chasing.
Moreover, the report states that the project is years away at this point. This is not surprising, considering the team’s focus on post-launch Suicide Squad content until recently.
Jason Schreir’s report is made all the more interesting by the fact that Rocksteady recently retconned Suicide Squad’s ending. Following the ending, the Arkham verse Batman was revealed to be alive after the events of Suicide Squad, leaving room for a sequel that picks up after the studio’s latest release.
Rumors have also pointed at a Batman Arkham Asylum remake, but Jason Schreier implies that nothing is set in stone for the time being.
What are your thoughts on this report? Do you have faith in a return to form for this IP? Let’s discuss this in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
