Rumor: New Superman Game by Rocksteady Coming to E3 2018
It was leaked today by an anonymous user at the 4chan forum, that a new Superman game made by Rocksteady could be showing up at the Microsoft E3 2018 press conference.
Check out the screenshot posted in 4chan that shows the games’ title and the companies that are developing and publishing the game:
The title of the game apparently will be “Superman: World’s Finest” and it will be developed by Rocksteady. According to the anonymous user, the game will be revealed during the Microsoft’s Press Conference at E3 2018.
Also, the anonymous user said that Brainiac will be the main villain and that other DC heroes are involved with the games’ story. But of course, Players should take this news with a grain of salt, as Rocksteady hasn’t confirmed that they are working on a Superman title, and currently is just a rumor.
“About Rocksteady Studios
Rocksteady Studios Limited is a British video game developer based in Kentish Town, London. Founded in November 2004, they are best known for their work in the Batman: Arkham series. The company is a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, with a 74.9% ownership, while Square Enix Europe owns the remaining 25.1%.
Rocksteady was founded on 8 November 2004, by Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker. The team hired many employees from Argonaut Games, a London-based studio which had closed in October 2004.
Rocksteady’s first release was the 2006 first-person shooter Urban Chaos: Riot Response, developed using the Havok engine and published by Eidos Interactive for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. After Eidos obtained the rights to make a Batman game in spring 2007, they approached Rocksteady who presented their take to the Batman license, and by May 2007, they had begun developing the concept of Batman: Arkham Asylum, with full production beginning in September 2007. The game was released in August 2009 to critical acclaim and huge commercial success and the studio was then acquired by Time Warner in February 2010, although Square Enix Europe (formerly Eidos Interactive) still holds 25.1 percent share of Rocksteady.
Rocksteady Studios have thus became one of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in-house studios, renowned for their acclaimed games in the Batman: Arkham franchise, as Arkham Asylum was followed by Batman: Arkham City in 2011, and Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015. Although a prequel Arkham game was also developed (Batman: Arkham Origins), Rocksteady did not act as developer for the game; instead, development was handled by WB Games Montréal.
In December 2016 Sefton Hill confirmed through his official Reddit account that a new project is currently in development at Rocksteady Studios.”
