The NEW Batman Game Just Made It OFFICIAL

What it do, Durag Nation? Sadot the Gamer is back with another episode of Super News Bits to break down the official update on Rocksteady’s next AAA Batman game, and what it means for the future of DC games! After months of rumors, speculation, and concern over Warner Bros' gaming division, the legendary Arkham developer has confirmed they’re hiring for a new Batman Arkham game, and it’s coming to high-end PCs, PS5, and Xbox Series X—with no PlayStation exclusivity in sight, despite earlier rumors from XboxEra’s Nick.

An Unreal Engine 5 Batman game, this new non-VR Batman game will be the first Rocksteady Batman Arkham game since the failed Suicide Squad live service project. And with the Arkhamverse still alive—minus Wonder Woman—after the events of Kill the Justice League, fans are buzzing with speculation about a potential Batman Beyond game, especially after WB shelved both the Michael Keaton movie and animated film.

This announcement comes after WB’s disastrous 2024, where they canceled the Wonder Woman game, shut down Monolith Productions, and doubled down on Batman, Mortal Kombat, Hogwarts Legacy, and Game of Thrones as the pillars of their future. CEO comments confirmed that “DC means Batman,” and it’s now clear that Rocksteady’s next project will be crucial in restoring faith in the DC gaming universe.

Join Sadot as we explore this huge update, break down Jason Schreier’s reporting, debunk the PlayStation exclusivity rumors, and talk about what this could mean for the DCU’s video game roadmap, including James Gunn’s confirmed DCU game plans.

Don’t miss this breakdown of the best upcoming Batman game news, the revival of DC superhero games, and the hopeful future for Rocksteady and Warner Bros Games

What are you hoping to see in the next Batman game?

[Star_Wars_Nerd]

Batman beyond would go so hard
But WB is still allergic to money right?

[kamenrideruniter]

Superman, wonder woman, flash, green lantern, martian manhunter, cyborg, aquaman, blue beetle, yet all they can think of is batman

[Th_Uslss_Indvdl]

Rocksteady should just change their name to Batman Inc at this point

[Hamerbro]

Look, I Know a lot of people want other DC Characters to have a chance, and I totally agree with that, but I'm still open to a new Batman Game since Batman is the Best DC Character in my opinion.

[eastwood]

All I want from Batman is a fucking jump button.

[lilphedz]

We need a dope ass man of steel or Superman whatever tf they wanna call it. A Superman with an open world!

[hayacopter]

Strictly for lore reasons and character dynamics, I REALLY want the next batman game to be post-Shadows and pre-Asyum. I wanna see Bruce's dynamic with Dick and Barbara, seeing the beginning of the team-up with the first Robin and how he officially teams up with Batgirl (considering the newspaper in Shadows that mostly-canonized the general events of Batgirl Begins). Hell, they can even tease a follow-up by having a post-credit scene where Batman stumbles across Jason meddling with the Batmobile.

Since Barbara was active during Shadows (based on the newspaper) and the fact she worked with Tim in Matter of Family, she'd have worked with all 3 Robins, and that's a great point for exploring non-Bruce character dynamics

I hope the next game gives us all of Gotham. Each game has given us a bit more, but we've never seen the whole thing. If Spider-Man 2 can give us all of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, I feel like Rocksteady should be able to give us a game with the two islands from Origins, the three islands from Knight, and Arkham Island and put them in one map

[Gabe-ob]

Rocksteady is good but, when are they gonna learn what a Jump Button is!? BATMAN ISN’T CASEOH HE CAN JUMP WHY CAN HE NOT JUMP

DC creative meeting -

Creative 1: “hey I have an idea! Batman!”

Creative 2: “no that’s too obvious, what about… Batman…”

Creative 3: no I really do think it’s about time we do Batman

Creative 4: “have we ever made a Batman game?”

[danko]

Marvel games: Spider-Man, Wolverine, Avengers, Rivals, 1943, Midnight Suns, …

DC games: Batman

[TheArkhamKnight]

Honestly it's surprising Rocksteady hasn't experimented with Green Arrow, Question, Terry McGinnis, or someone who's a ground level character. At this point I wouldn't mind seeing the other side maybe playing as a few villains because being hunted by Batman was probably the best part of KTJL.

[anthonygarland]

A Superman story that operates like the Arkham games would be incredible

[bankrupt_batman]

I'm tired of only seeing batman and superman in media. We need arkham style Flash, Arrow, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman games. It's been too many years of too many people playing batman. He isn't the only hero.

Hell, green lantern could be the next major black hero. They wouldn't need to piss anybody off to do it. He doesn't fall into ANY stereotypes. He's not some electric guy. He's one of the strongest green lanterns. I would LOVE to see John Stewart take on Parallax Hal Jordan. Hal was wearing 10 corrupted rings, and John Stewart still won.

GIVE US THE GOOD GREEN LANTERN!!!! I don't want to see another dc hero unless it's John Stewart or Kyle Reiner. There are too many great stories we are deprived of.

Shit, I Kyle Reiner game would be dope. Imagine a game in which you have to master every color of ring. That would be INSANE!!!

[HeyItzZedd]

Nah man, RS has not failed me on solo batman games. this will be an absolute killer.

[Shadowdragon_TV]

Arkham Shadows was so good. Andi t was a VR game. The dark and gritty stories are well done by people who understand and hear their fans.

[innkeep]

After the Arkham Knight came out in '15. I really hoped they would continue the story of the Arkhamverse with the other members of the Bat family.

Just imagine: Robin: Arkham Legacy.

[LionAces]

Flash would be their best game in terms of controls. Green Lantern would be next up but I think his lack of moves would get boring

[Schatten-cm]

I really hope the graphics are comparable to Arkham Knight. And please, rock steady, please get the old writers from the first games back.
