Rocksteady begins search for Game Director for its next Batman game

Mar 16,2025 Author: Aaliyah

Rocksteady Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the Batman: Arkham series, is searching for a Game Director for its next major project. A job listing posted by Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17th reveals the successful candidate will be responsible for crafting a high-quality game design, encompassing core gameplay, player progression, combat systems, and mission design. The ideal candidate will possess experience across diverse genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat games.

This job description has fueled speculation of a return to the Batman universe, the franchise that catapulted Rocksteady to fame. The requirements strongly align with the Batman: Arkham series, unlike their recent release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which emphasized gunplay over hand-to-hand combat.

As Rocksteady is in the early stages of recruitment, the game is likely still in its conceptual phase. Industry insider Jason Schreier suggests that, should Rocksteady develop a new single-player Batman title, fans shouldn't anticipate its release for several years.

Rocksteady's latest release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, launched on February 2nd, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The game received mixed reviews, scoring 63/100 on Metacritic from critics and a 4.2/10 user score.

Previous reports hinted at a potential Rocksteady Batman project, with rumors suggesting inspiration from the Batman Beyond animated series.
