Well, looks like Rocksteady's taking a U-turn after Suicide Squad's rough landing!
Their recent job listing at Warner Bros. Discovery is basically screaming "Batman" to anyone who's paying attention.
After trying their hand at the live-service genre with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (and a tasting $200 million loss), they're apparently heading back to familiar territory.
The really interesting part? The job posting is super specific about what they want. They're looking for someone with experience in "third-person action, melee combat, and open-world traversal." Sound familiar?
Bloomberg's reporting adds some weight to this theory earlier (basically twice), suggesting Rocksteady's next project could be a single-player Batman game. However, it also mentions that it is too early in the development stage.
The new Game Director will be handling core gameplay mechanics, progression systems, and mission design.
This potential return is exactly what many fans have been hoping for since the critically acclaimed Arkham Knight was released nearly a decade ago.
While nothing's officially confirmed yet, the evidence is pretty compelling. The requirements in that job listing align perfectly with what made their Batman games special.
The big question now is: What's next for the Dark Knight? If Rocksteady is indeed returning to Gotham, what new directions could they take the franchise while staying true to what made it great?
