Report: Rocksteady Working on New Single-Player Batman Game; Wonder Woman Rebooted and “Years Away”
Follow[summaraize]ing the disappointing performance of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that saw its last content drop in December 2024, it was rumored five months ago that Rocksteady was working on a new Batman game, which is a move that makes sense for the studio.
A new report about parent company Warner Bros. has surfaced today, discussing Rocksteady’s next project and more.
Rocksteady’s New Batman Game Won’t Be Released Anytime Soon
According to the Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier (article behind a paywall), Rocksteady is working on a single-player game based on Batman, though the new game is “years away from landing.”
It is not mentioned whether this is based on the Arkham franchise or an entirely new take on Batman. If I had to hazard a guess, it’ll be based on the Arkham series, given that Rocksteady would be counting on brand recognition and nostalgia to ensure success—something the studio desperately needs after the massive money pit that was Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Rocksteady and the studio’s new project isn’t the only new bit of info from the report, as it also mentions the in-development Wonder Woman game.
Wonder Woman Game Gets Rebooted
Announced in 2021, the new Wonder Woman game is in development by Monolith Productions (Middle-earth: Shadw of Mordor), and is said to be a single-player, action-adventure game that won’t incorporate live service elements. Well, that was the plan in 2021.
According to the report, the project was rebooted “early last year” and had already cost WB more than $100 million per people who wished to remain anonymous. It is said to be “years away from release” if it ever makes it out to retail.
An earlier build of the Wonder Woman game tried implementing Monolith’s “Nemesis” system from the Shadow of War games, where the heroine would befriend enemies. That idea has since been scrapped in favor of a “more traditional action-adventure game.”
While not outright cancelled, the fate of the Wonder Woman video game is in question, due to Monolith’s leadership and issues “surrounding the game’s technology.”
It looks to be some of Warner Bros. biggest superhero games are years from release, so prepare for a long wait.
While Rocksteady’s next game might be years away from release, a report from last year mentioned how the studio is working on a Hogwarts Legacy: Director’s Cut version, which might be what’s keeping the studio busy.
