Rocksteady Studios tried to make the switch to third-person looter shooters with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but it’s safe to say that that experiment did not pay off. For its next project, the British studio seems to be reverting to something fans of its works will be much more familiar with.
Rocksteady Studios has published a job listing for a Game Director position on Warner Bros. Discovery’s official careers website. Under skill requirements, the listing calls for “strong design leadership and experience across multiple genres, particularly third-person action, melee brawlers, and open world traversal games.”
The Batman: Arkham trilogy emphasized melee combat and open world traversal, and based on this job ad, it certainly does seem like Rocksteady is set to return to that with its next game. Leaks have claimed that the studio’s next project is going to be another Batman title, courtesy of the critical and commercial failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It’s also claimed, however, that the game is still several years away, so it’s going to be a while before we hear much (if anything) about it. After all, Rocksteady doesn’t even have a game director for the project right now.
