Rumor: Rocksteady Studios is developing a new Batman game

by Patrick Mar 16,2025

According to journalist Jason Schreier, the acclaimed Rocksteady Studios is developing a new single-player Batman game. Details are scarce, with no confirmation whether it's a prequel, sequel to the Arkham series, or a completely new universe. However, one insider suggests it's a Batman Beyond title, set in a futuristic Gotham City, planned as a full trilogy for next-generation consoles.

The Arkham series was celebrated for its stunning visuals, and a futuristic Gotham could be Rocksteady's most impressive yet. The Batman Beyond setting also addresses the challenge of replacing the voice of the late Kevin Conroy; the game might feature Terry McGinnis or Damian Wayne, echoing Warner Bros. Montreal's canceled Arkham Knight sequel plans.

Rocksteady's previous project, an online shooter, underperformed, leading to the cancellation of post-launch content and a rushed animated conclusion that retconned controversial plot points, revealing certain characters to be clones.

Now, Rocksteady returns to its roots with a new solo Batman adventure, though insiders suggest it's still several years from release.
