Rocksteady Studios is reportedly working on a new Batman game, signaling a return to the beloved single-player experience that made its previous titles so successful. This information was revealed in a Bloomberg report discussing the state of Warner Bros. Games following the resignation of its longtime president, David Haddad, who stepped down after 12 years in the role. While neither Warner Bros nor Rocksteady have officially confirmed the development of a new Batman title, sources suggest that the project is in the early stages and will take several years before it reaches players.
The decision to revisit Batman comes in the wake of the underwhelming reception to Rocksteady’s latest release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which struggled to gain traction as a live-service game. Given this setback, it appears Rocksteady is shifting its focus back to the formula that brought it critical acclaim with the Arkham series-delivering a narrative-driven, single-player experience rather than experimenting further with the live-service model.
Meanwhile, WB Games Montreal, the studio behind Gotham Knights, is reportedly assisting on multiple projects, including the upcoming Wonder Woman game. Warner Bros. has reassured fans that this title will not adopt the live-service approach, emphasizing its focus on a more traditional action-adventure experience. Additionally, the studio is allegedly working on a pitch for a Game of Thrones game, though details about this potential project remain scarce.
In other Warner Bros news, the company recently confirmed that MultiVersus is reaching the end of its run, with its fifth season officially being the last. According to an update from the development team, the current season will conclude on May 30th, but the game will remain available offline “for the foreseeable future.” While Warner Bros. has yet to announce what the future holds for the franchise, fans can still enjoy the game’s content even after the live service comes to an end.
