Rocksteady Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the Batman: Arkham series, is seeking a Game Director for its next major project. A job listing posted by Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17th outlines a role focused on crafting a "high-quality game design," encompassing core gameplay mechanics, player progression, combat systems, and mission design. The ideal candidate possesses experience across diverse genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat games—a profile that has ignited speculation about a potential return to the Batman universe.
This aligns strongly with the studio's celebrated Batman: Arkham trilogy, contrasting with the more gunplay-focused Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. As the hiring process is in its early stages, the project is likely still in its conceptual phase. Industry insider Jason Schreier suggests that, should Rocksteady indeed develop a new single-player Batman title, fans shouldn't anticipate its release for several years.

Previous reports have hinted at a possible Rocksteady Batman project, with rumors suggesting a game potentially inspired by the Batman Beyond animated series.
