Which Platforms Will the New Batman Game Release On?

Warner Bros. Job Listing Hints at a Cross-Gen Game in Development

Following the underwhelming launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it appears that Rocksteady Studios is returning to its roots with an early-stage development project centered around a new single-player Batman game. While official details remain scarce—leaving it unclear whether the game will be set in the Arkham universe—a new job listing from WB Games has provided some interesting insights.

A Cross-Generation Title in the Works?

According to GamesRadar, Warner Bros. is currently hiring a Senior Engine Programmer, with the listing specifically mentioning support for next-generation hardware:

"Your work will help the team deliver the highest quality gaming experience on target platforms, including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X | S, and next-generation consoles."

This suggests that the project could be a cross-gen title, supporting both current and upcoming gaming hardware. Historically, previous console generations—such as PlayStation 4 and Xbox One—continued receiving major game releases even after the launch of their successors. However, the exact specifications of next-gen consoles remain unknown.

What Does This Mean for Next-Gen Gaming?

Rumors indicate that Sony is preparing for the eventual launch of the PlayStation 6, while Microsoft has repeatedly emphasized its commitment to hardware innovation. Recent reports also suggest that Xbox may be working on a handheld gaming device. Meanwhile, Nintendo is expected to release the Switch 2, which is rumored to feature improved hardware capable of running modern games more efficiently than its predecessor.

That said, it’s important to approach this information with caution. Development plans often change, and Rocksteady’s new project could still evolve into a next-gen exclusive or shift focus to other platforms. For now, all eyes are on the studio to see what it has in store for Batman fans and the gaming community.
