Nearly a decade after Batman: Arkham Knight concluded one of gaming's most acclaimed superhero trilogies, Rocksteady Studios is reportedly returning to the franchise that defined its reputation. Following the disappointing reception of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, reports suggest the London-based developer is working on a new AAA single-player Batman game.
If true, the project would mark Warner Bros.' latest attempt to restore confidence in one of gaming's most celebrated franchises while giving Rocksteady the chance to rebuild its own standing. For many fans, it also represents an opportunity for the studio to return to the narrative-driven formula that made the Arkham series a landmark in superhero gaming.
