Rocksteady Studios, renowned for its acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, is searching for a Game Director for its next major project. A job listing posted by Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17th reveals the successful candidate will be responsible for crafting a high-quality game design, encompassing core gameplay mechanics, player progression, combat systems, and mission design. The ideal candidate will possess experience across diverse genres, including third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat games.
This job description has fueled speculation of a return to the Batman universe, a franchise synonymous with Rocksteady’s success. The Batman: Arkham series closely aligns with the listed requirements, unlike their recent release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which prioritized gunplay over hand-to-hand combat.
Given the early stage of the hiring process, the game is likely still in its conceptual phase. Industry insider Jason Schreier suggests that, should Rocksteady develop a new single-player Batman title, it wouldn't launch for several years.

Previous reports hinted at a potential return to the Batman franchise, with rumors suggesting a project inspired by the Batman Beyond animated series.
