Rocksteady Studios is seeking a Game Director for its next major project, as revealed in a job posting by Warner Bros. Discovery on February 17th.
The successful applicant will oversee the creation of a high-quality game, encompassing all aspects of design, from core mechanics and progression systems to combat and mission structure. Experience in third-person action, open-world adventures, and melee combat is highly desirable. This job description has fueled speculation of a return to the Batman franchise, the series that propelled Rocksteady to fame. The requirements closely mirror the Batman: Arkham series, unlike the more gun-focused Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
As the hiring process is still in its early stages, the game is likely in the conceptual phase. Industry analyst Jason Schreier suggests that a new single-player Batman title, should it materialize, is several years away.
