Rocksteady Studios, the esteemed UK-based developer known for its work on the Batman Arkham series, is said to be returning to Batman for its next project following the dismal performance of its last game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Beyond that, WB Games Montreal is now believed to be formulating an idea for a new Game of Thrones title. This all came to light in a new report that shed light on future projects said to be in the works at WB’s various game development teams.
A report from Bloomberg said, “Rocksteady is looking to return to Batman for a single-player game.” However, the report said the game is “years away.” There is no further information to go on at this stage.
Rocksteady Studios is best known for Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009), Batman: Arkham City (2011), and Batman: Arkham Knight (2015). 2024’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a big shift for the developer with its live-service approach and multiplayer elements. The game failed to find a big enough audience, leading to massive losses for parent company Warner Bros. The game recently wrapped up its final wave of content, and many were upset over the game’s real ending revealing major characters who died were actually only clones.
