Rocksteady Studios is searching for a Game Director, hinting at a new project in development. A job posting on February 17th reveals the successful candidate will oversee all aspects of game design, from core mechanics and progression to combat and mission structure. The required experience encompasses various genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat—strongly suggesting a return to the studio's roots.
The job description's emphasis on melee combat aligns perfectly with the studio's acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, unlike their recent, more gun-focused title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Since the hiring process is in its early stages, the game is likely still in the conceptual phase. Industry expert Jason Schreier suggests that, should a new single-player Batman game materialize, it's several years away.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, released February 2nd, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam), received mixed critical reception (Metacritic score: 63/100 and 4.2/10 user score). Previous reports indicated Rocksteady's potential return to the Batman franchise, possibly with a project inspired by Batman Beyond.
