Rocksteady Studios is seeking a Game Director for its next major project, as evidenced by a job posting from Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17th.
The successful applicant will be responsible for crafting a high-caliber game design, encompassing core gameplay, player progression, combat systems, and mission structure. Ideal candidates possess diverse genre experience, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee-focused titles. This has fueled speculation of a return to the Batman franchise, the series that propelled Rocksteady to prominence.
The requirements strongly align with the Batman: Arkham series, contrasting with the more gunplay-centric Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. As Rocksteady is in the initial hiring stages, the project is likely still in its conceptual phase. Industry expert Jason Schreier suggests that a new single-player Batman title, should it materialize, is several years away.

Rocksteady's latest release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (February 2nd, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC), received a mixed reception, scoring 63/100 on Metacritic (critics) and 4.2/10 (users).
Previous reports hinted at a potential Rocksteady Batman project, possibly inspired by the Batman Beyond animated series.
