Rocksteady's New Batman Game: Rumor or Reality?

According to acclaimed journalist Jason Schreier, the renowned studio Rocksteady is currently developing a brand-new single-player Batman game. While details are still under wraps, Schreier has not confirmed whether this game will serve as a prequel, a direct continuation of the beloved Arkham saga, or an entirely new universe. However, an insider source suggests that Rocksteady might be working on a "Batman Beyond" project, immersing players in a futuristic Gotham. The studio's ambition is reportedly to create a full-blown trilogy. Fans can look forward to the game launching on the next generation of consoles.

The Arkham series was celebrated for its stunning visuals, and a futuristic Gotham could represent Rocksteady's most visually striking creation to date. The move to Batman Beyond also addresses a significant challenge: the iconic voice of Batman. Following the passing of the legendary Kevin Conroy in 2022, the studio might shift focus to characters like Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, similar to what Warner Bros. Montreal had planned for their canceled sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight.

Rocksteady's previous project, an online shooter, did not meet player expectations and ultimately flopped. The studio was forced to abandon its post-launch plans within a year, concluding the story with a hastily produced animation that reversed some of the most contentious plot developments, revealing that the fallen heroes were actually clones.

Now, Rocksteady is returning to its roots with a new solo Batman adventure. However, insiders caution that fans will need to wait several years before this highly anticipated project hits the screens.
