It’s not officially confirmed but, after Suicide Squad, going back to Batman makes perfect sense (Warner Bros.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The next Batman game from Arkham Knight developer Rocksteady is hiring new staff and the job ads give away quite a bit of information.<\/p>\n

After Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League<\/a> flopped hard for Warner Bros., developer Rocksteady is reportedly going back to what it does best, with a new single-player Batman game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exact details are unsurprisingly nebulous, but it’s been described as being \u2018years away from landing.\u2019 There\u2019s also no telling if it will be a continuation of the Arkham series (like VR game Arkham Shadow<\/a>, although that was technically a prequel) or something that ties into James Gunn\u2019s plans<\/a> for his DC cinematic universe.<\/p>\n

There are two details that Warner Bros. appears to have accidentally confirmed though: it will be a multiplatform title (which seems to disprove the rumour of it being a PlayStation 5 exclusive based on Batman Beyond<\/a>) and it\u2019s preparing to launch for the PlayStation 6 and next Xbox console.<\/p>\n

This is according to the industry’s most reliable source of leaks: a new job listing<\/a>, in this case for a senior core engine programmer at Rocksteady – that was posted over a month ago but only recently spotted.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, the job listing doesn\u2019t mention Rocksteady\u2019s next game being Batman related at all (only referring to an \u2018upcoming unannounced AAA title\u2019), but that is the common assumption, and one asserted by Bloomberg when it recently reported on Warner Bros.\u2019 gaming woes.<\/p>\n

Whatever the game is, it\u2019s being built with Unreal Engine 5 and targeting \u2018the next generation of consoles\u2019 as well as PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, and PC (and maybe Switch 2), making it a cross-gen title.<\/p>\n

Considering the game isn\u2019t expected to come out for several years, this makes perfect sense. Microsoft has already begun teasing new Xbox hardware<\/a> and while Sony\u2019s been more coy with the PlayStation 6, it\u2019s rumoured to be launching in 2027<\/a> or 2028.<\/p>\n
