PS6 Exclusive: Rocksteady’s Next Batman Game Revealed

by

Summary

  • Rocksteady’s next Batman game may get a PlayStation 6 release, running on next-gen hardware.
  • Job postings hint at another Batman title with mechanics from the Arkham series.
  • The next Batman game’s development aligns with the PlayStation 6’s rumored launch in 2027.

It is being speculated that Rocksteady Studios’ anticipated Batman game might be launched for PlayStation 6, based on a recent job posting from the company. The Arkham series, being one of the most cherished superhero video game franchises thus far, has sparked great expectations for its upcoming installment, despite the fact that the recent spin-off Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League didn’t meet its mark. Whenever it is released, Rocksteady’s next Batman game could potentially benefit from running on newer generation hardware.

A job listing has sparked speculation among some that Rocksteady is developing another Batman game, given the job description’s reference to mechanics and aspects characteristic of the Arkham series. Although Rocksteady hasn’t officially confirmed a new project, the likelihood seems to be growing. Additionally, a recently noticed job posting adds fuel to these rumors, suggesting a potential release on the PlayStation 6.

Warner Bros. Discovery has advertised a position for a Senior Core Engine Programmer at Rocksteady Studios, working on an as-yet undisclosed AAA title. The Arkham universe seems the most likely candidate for this game, given the hints in the job description. Moreover, the listing specifies that the game is intended for the next generation of consoles, although it will also be playable on PS5 and Xbox Series X, which contradicts a previous rumor suggesting Rocksteady’s upcoming Batman game would be exclusive to PlayStation.

Rocksteady Job Listing Suggests Next Batman Game Could Come to Next-Gen Consoles

It seems that the PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox consoles might not be available for some time, but the same goes for this upcoming Rocksteady game. The studio has just begun hiring, and it’s been quite recently since their last release, indicating that their next project is still in its infancy. Some whispers hint at a possible PlayStation 6 launch by the end of 2027, which wouldn’t be too far off. Even if it takes longer, though, the timeline would still accommodate this unannounced game, whether it’s a Batman title or not, to make its PS6 debut, given the extended development cycles common for AAA games.

Rocksteady’s upcoming “Batman” game isn’t the only one speculated to launch on PlayStation 6. A job listing suggests a “Horizon” spin-off might bypass the PlayStation 5 for a direct release on PlayStation 6, but since Sony hasn’t confirmed the console yet, it remains uncertain if or when these games will actually be available for the PlayStation 6.
