According to renowned journalist Jason Schreier, the acclaimed studio Rocksteady is currently developing an exciting new single-player Batman game. While specifics are still under wraps, Schreier has not disclosed whether this game will serve as a prequel, a continuation of the beloved Arkham saga, or an entirely new universe. However, an insider has revealed that Rocksteady might be venturing into the futuristic world of Batman Beyond, potentially crafting a full-blown trilogy. Fans can anticipate the game to launch on the next generation of consoles.

The Arkham series was celebrated for its stunning visuals, and a futuristic Gotham could represent Rocksteady's most ambitious and visually striking project to date. Transitioning to Batman Beyond also addresses a poignant challenge: the iconic voice of Batman. Following the passing of the legendary Kevin Conroy in 2022, Rocksteady may opt to focus on characters like Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, echoing the direction Warner Bros. Montreal had intended for its canceled sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight.
Rocksteady's most recent endeavor, an online shooter, did not meet player expectations and ultimately flopped. The studio had to abandon its post-launch plans within a year, concluding the story with a hastily produced animation that undid some of the most contentious plot developments, revealing that the fallen heroes were actually clones.
Now, Rocksteady is returning to what it does best: crafting a new solo Batman adventure. However, industry insiders caution that fans will need to wait several years before this much-anticipated project graces our screens.
