Rocksteady Studios is recruiting a Game Director for its next major project, as announced in a Warner Bros. Discovery job posting on February 17th.
The successful applicant will be responsible for overseeing all aspects of game design, from core mechanics and progression systems to combat and mission structure. Experience in diverse genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat, is essential. This job description has fueled speculation about a potential return to the Batman franchise, a series synonymous with Rocksteady's success.
The requirements strongly suggest a departure from the gunplay-focused Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, aligning more closely with the studio's acclaimed Batman: Arkham series.
As 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 title be developed, it wouldn't launch for several years.
