Upcoming Batman Game May Launch on PS6

Rumor has it, Rocksteady Studios’ newest Batman game might make its debut on the PlayStation 6, as hinted by recent job postings within the company. Known for creating one of the most critically acclaimed superhero gaming franchises, the Arkham series holds a special place in fans’ hearts. Despite the lukewarm reception of their spin-off, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, anticipation for another Batman game is sky-high, especially with the potential benefits of next-gen hardware in play.

Some job listings at Rocksteady have led fans to speculate about another Batman project in the making. Details from the listings highlight features familiar to Arkham series enthusiasts. While no official announcement has been made, the pieces suggest Rocksteady is brewing something exciting. One particular job ad even alludes to a potential PlayStation 6 release, stoking the excitement further.

Recently, Warner Bros. Discovery put out a call for a Senior Core Engine Programmer at Rocksteady Studios. While the job description doesn’t explicitly state it, many believe it’s tied to a new Batman title, given the focus on the Arkham universe. What’s more interesting is the mention of “next-generation consoles” as part of the project’s target hardware. While the job listing acknowledges PS5 and Xbox Series X, it seemingly dismisses earlier rumors about exclusivity to PlayStation.

Though the wait for the PlayStation 6 and next-gen Xbox may be lengthy, Rocksteady’s upcoming project is no exception to this timeline. With hiring still in its early stages and the last game only recently released, the next project is likely just kicking off. Speculation around a 2027 launch for the PlayStation 6 meshes well with the anticipated timeline for Rocksteady’s game development, potentially allowing a synchronized release.

Rocksteady’s Batman venture isn’t alone in PS6 rumors. Another job ad suggested a Horizon spin-off might skip the PS5 altogether. While Sony has yet to confirm anything regarding the PS6, speculation continues to swirl about which future titles will land on the next-gen console. Whether Rocksteady’s next game joins those ranks remains an exciting mystery.
