Rocksteady Studios is on the hunt for a Game Director for their next major project, as announced by Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17. The job listing emphasizes the need for a candidate capable of crafting a "high-quality game design" that covers core gameplay mechanics, player progression, combat systems, and mission design. The ideal applicant should have a broad experience, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat games. This has led to speculation that Rocksteady might be returning to the beloved Batman universe, which aligns well with the job's requirements, unlike their latest release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which leaned more towards gunplay.
Given that Rocksteady is still in the early stages of hiring, the project is likely in its conceptual phase. Industry insider Jason Schreier has indicated that if a new single-player Batman game is in the works, fans should not expect it to hit the shelves for several years.

Rocksteady's most recent title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, was released on February 2, 2024, available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game has garnered mixed reviews, with a critic score of 63 out of 100 and a user score of 4.2 out of 10 on Metacritic.
Rumors have been circulating that Rocksteady might revisit the Batman franchise, with some whispers suggesting a project inspired by the Batman Beyond animated series.
