Rocksteady Studios<\/a>, developers of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham<\/a> games, is reportedly eyeing a single-player Batman title as its next project. The Warner Bros.<\/a> owned studio recently wrapped up work on its last game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, with the final update for the live service title rolling out last month. A departure from Rocksteady’s repertoire of narrative driven single-player games, Suicide Squad failed to attract players, leading to Warner Bros. taking a hit to the tune of $200 million on the game.<\/p>\n

Rocksteady Eyes Batman Return<\/h2>\n

The information comes as part of a Bloomberg report<\/a> on Warner Bros. Games<\/a> that sheds light on the company’s thin slate of releases in 2025, its misfires under the leadership of WB executive David Haddad, and the current state of WB-owned studios. According to the report, Rocksteady<\/a> is returning to the game that put the studio on the map after the critical and commercial failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c… Rocksteady is looking to return to Batman for a single-player game, but according to people familiar with the timeline, the new project is years away from landing,\u201d the report, published Friday, said.<\/p>\n

The report doesn’t share any details about the Batman<\/a> game Rocksteady intends to work on. Neither Rocksteady nor Warner Bros. have confirmed a new Batman: Arkham title. The video game version of the Caped Crusader was last seen as an antagonist in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and in free-to-play fighting title MultiVersus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wonder Woman Game in the Works at WB<\/h2>\n

The report also detailed the struggle to get a Wonder Woman game off the ground at Warner Bros. The game, based on the DC Comics heroine, has reportedly been in development for years and has already cost WB over $100 million (roughly Rs. 875 crore), but remains years away from release.<\/p>\n

The Wonder Woman game, in the works at Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor<\/a> developer Monolith Productions<\/a>, was rebooted last year after an initial version of the game that integrated the studio’s trademark Nemesis system was abandoned in favour of a straightforward action-adventure approach, the report said. WB Games Montreal<\/a>, whose last game \u2014 Gotham Knights<\/a> \u2014 also tanked, is providing assistance on the Wonder Woman title.<\/p>\n

Rocksteady’s reported return to a single-player Batman title comes after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed to bring in players with its live service approach. The online shooter was a big bet for Warner Bros. and poor sales meant the game led $200 million (roughly Rs.\u00a01,751 crore) in losses for the company.<\/p>\n

Rocksteady had plans to support Suicide Squad with regular seasonal content updates, but the studio announced<\/a> in December 2024 that the game would get its final update in January.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. Further lost $100 million on Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions<\/a> and MultiVersus, leaving the company’s games division responsible for $300 million (roughly Rs. 2,627 crore) in losses in 2024, the report said. Warner Bros. Games announced<\/a> last month it was ending development on MultiVersus, confirming the fifth season would be its last. The fighting game will be taken offline on May 30.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
