Rocksteady Studios is currently recruiting a Game Director for its next major project. A job posting on February 17th, by Warner Bros. Discovery, outlines the responsibilities, which include crafting a high-quality game design encompassing core gameplay, player progression, combat systems, and mission structure. The ideal candidate possesses experience across diverse genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee-focused combat titles.
This has fueled speculation of a return to the Batman franchise, the series that catapulted Rocksteady to prominence. The Batman: Arkham series closely aligns with the job description's requirements, unlike Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which prioritized gunplay over hand-to-hand combat.
As the hiring process is in its early stages, the game is likely still in the conceptual phase. Industry analyst Jason Schreier suggests that, should Rocksteady develop a new single-player Batman title, it wouldn't launch for several years.

Rocksteady's latest release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, launched February 2nd, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). The game received mixed critical reception, scoring 63/100 on Metacritic and a 4.2/10 user score.
Previous reports hinted at a potential return to the Batman franchise, with rumors suggesting a project inspired by the Batman Beyond animated series.
