According to a recent Bloomberg report, Rocksteady is currently developing a Batman game. “Rocksteady is looking to return to Batman for a single-player game,” reads the report, “but according to people familiar with the timeline, the new project is years away from landing.” It’s worth noting that the company is known for the highly beloved Batman Arkham franchise. As such, another Arkham title from the developer is possible. Rocksteady Studios‘ last game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was a commercial and critical flop, and the studio was impacted by layoffs last year.
Details for the latest Batman Arkham game:
It’s the Fourth of July, and Gotham City is under attack by a new threat: the mysterious Rat King and his cultish devotees. As widespread rioting engulfs the city, Batman races to prevent this so-called “Day of Wrath,” but it all goes wrong.
