Mysterious Warner Bros’ Job Posting Hints at New Open-World Rocksteady Game

Warner Bros. and Rocksteady Studios are currently seeking an experienced Game Director who specializes in creating immersive open-world environments and intricate third-person combat systems.

This job listing is looking for a Game Director who will manage melee-focused gameplay features, character progression, battle systems, and level design. Given the nature of the role, fans are already guessing about what this might imply for Rocksteady’s upcoming projects, with some assuming it could be the next chapter in the popular Arkham series.

Following the disappointing debut of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” Rocksteady Studios seems to be experiencing a significant slump in their fortunes. After ceasing updates for the game and adding Deathstroke as its last playable character, many fans are advocating that the studio should redirect their efforts towards developing another Arkham series title, which is reportedly what players are yearning for.

Rumors and whispers indicate that Rocksteady might be developing a new Arkham game, but the company has not made an official statement yet. Furthermore, job listings seem to point towards a project focusing on third-person combat, leading some to speculate that it could potentially be exclusive to PlayStation 5 or even PlayStation 6.

In their most recent job posting, Rocksteady is seeking a Game Director – a role they apparently lacked during the development of ‘Suicide Squad’. Previously, Sefton Hill and other high-ranking developers departed before the game’s launch, leaving Rocksteady without a designated Game Director.

The most recent Batman: Arkham game released was Batman: Arkham Shadow, a VR game produced by U.S. studio Camouflaj for Meta Quest devices. Though it received acclaim for its engaging storyline and immersive features, it wasn’t crafted by Rocksteady.

It appears that a potential new “Arkham” game is coming up, giving Rocksteady Studios an opportunity to regain the confidence of fans who felt let down by the flaws in “Suicide Squad.” Perhaps we’ll witness a different individual taking on the role of the caped crusader. The Gotham Knights game didn’t quite capture the essence of what made the Arkham series great, but they aimed to create a Batman game without featuring Batman himself.

If the latest Arkham game introduces a brand-new character, it’s reasonable to anticipate that the quality of the storytelling will match the highly praised Arkham trilogy and boast an array of formidable adversaries.
