Rocksteady is hiring promotional people so...

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Feb 20, 2019

Hiring a lead brand artist and a promo artist (to make videos promoting the game) so they're probably going to show this game this year I would guess.

http://rocksteadyltd.com/#jobs

Or that's the plan at least.

E3 maybe? Isn't there next game rumored to be next-gen?

Kalik · Feb 20, 2019

I remember hearing about this a few months ago...

CrazyDude · Feb 20, 2019

Rocksteady will forever be making a game but never revealing it, it will be a new social experiment to see how long they can last.

Rockstar is beyond E3 and they don't care about it. They'll have their special events and tease drops as usual.

Edit: i thought rockstar! I always make mistake between the 2 lol

If they're anything like Retro, they'll stay quiet for another year, and then it will finally be revealed that they are making yet another Arkham game. Lol.

Genetrik · Feb 20, 2019

For years I have been waiting and every time I got disappointed. I truly hope this E3 will finally give us a revelation.

DMVfan123 · Feb 21, 2019

Guessing that RS will show at the PS5 reveal
Avengers at MS E3, and it will look a little too good for next-gen, a la Star Wars 1313 (RIP)

I agree, but what about Rocksteady? ;)

Saw the edit!

Genesius · Feb 21, 2019

Square Enix is making Avengers

Though I do anticipate Roscksteady's game to be next-gen

Rendering those ninja turtles properly takes time

justiceiro · Feb 21, 2019

When will people realize rockstar don't go to e3?

Ops, brain fart.

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Feb 21, 2019

Do we think this game is going to be:

-Teen Titans
-Green Lantern Squad
-Suicide Squad
-Something else

hopefully it's none of those 3

Kotaku said it was:

1. Superheroes
2. Not Superman or Justice League.
3. Not Batman
4. Group of superheroes

So those three stand out from DC properties.

oh I didn't know there were already confirmed hints

what does "not really Batman" mean though??

also I meant that strictly from personal preference, I don't like any of those 3 groups

Paganmoon · Feb 21, 2019

Not really Batman could be the smoke/fire Batman from the 100% ending of Arkham Knight?

He said "it's not Batman" but I'm not sure if Teen Titans would count since that has Robin is why I phrased it like that.

I love Teen Titans but hate Green Lantern and Suicide Squad...

Jerm411 · Feb 21, 2019

Still wish they'd make a TMNT game but super curious to see what it is...

I'm guessing it is a Batman-related title, but not focusing on Batman himself. Wouldn't that lend credence to a Teen Titans rumor?

kurahador · Feb 21, 2019

It's going to be Shadow Of Mordor 3.

Tokio Blues · Feb 21, 2019

Yea.. it should be Batman. It's never enough. May be, Batman training Damian Wayne? like God of War wannabe?

I'm betting on Teen Titans.

ShapeGSX · Feb 21, 2019

...because their last one left after being sooooooo bored? :-P

TinfoilHatsROn · Feb 21, 2019

Teen titans or suicide squad is most likely.

Green Yoshi · Feb 28, 2019

Too bad they only made one PSVR game.

2020 could become a very interesting year. The new game by Rocksteady, the new game by Crystal Dynamics, the next Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us II and maybe Grand Theft Auto VI. And probably the release of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett.

Masagiwa · Feb 28, 2019

Looking forward to the new Batman game.

MosquitoSmasher · Feb 28, 2019

After the immense disappointment that was AK for me I just hope they will bring their goodness again because I've missed it. I can't deny that I'm very curious. It's really about time we got a reveal too. What was it, two years ago that they said they were making something that would truly wow us? Just that it wasn't time yet to reveal it.

So Legends of Tommorow??

Strelok · Feb 28, 2019

Why not a Young Justice game?

scabobbs · Feb 28, 2019

I was just thinking today how ridiculously long we've had to wait to see whatever Rocksteady is working on. I wonder if they're going to announce it and release it very quickly after? Maybe this game is already basically done. God I wish they'd have kept making Arkham games :(

unicornKnight · Feb 28, 2019

Meh I tried to get into Arkham City and I couldn't, Arkham Knight, same story. I'll just replay Arkham Asylum. I usually like open world games but in Batman games there's no feel of progressions, you can go everywhere from the start and you are just following some markers where to go next.

It's only been 2.5 years since their last project (the main team did Arkham VR) :/

This game is going to be like Diablo/Destiny so I'm sure it's nowhere close to being done and might still be years away. But I do think they're going to announce it this year.

Do we even know for sure this is a DC game?

carlsojo · Feb 28, 2019

After the fallout from Anthem being rushed out too soon, I have no problem with Rocksteady delaying the reveal of their project as long as they want.

It's a superhero game from Warner Bros so.... probably yeah.

Yautja_Warrior · Feb 28, 2019

Next gen Batman Beyond game, come on Rocksteady don't let me down.

xXJonoXx · Feb 28, 2019

This is what I sincerely hope they do.

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Mar 10, 2019

Couple things I found today:

1. The design director of this game was the design director of The Division so we can probably tell where this is going, it's going to be an online loot game.
2. The lead writer of this game was a writer on Destiny 2.
3. They somehow just hired their lead writer and their design director two months ago which suggests there's several years left in development.
4. The game takes place in a city which... is not very interesting information, I know :/

I hate almost everything you just said. :(

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Mar 10, 2019

5. Leaning to this being a shooter. The weapon artists they hired all have focused near exclusively on drawing guns. Leaning against Teen Titans and towards Suicide Squad at this point.

This sounds like.... exactly what I did not want to hear...

ItWasMeantToBe19 · Mar 10, 2019

Which DC team based superhero property fits best (or least worst) with guns if this is a shooter?

So you know something about their game? What about the new posts regarding the game possibly being a looter shooter?

Noooo... I wanted another single-player action game. In WB Montreal we trust, then.

It's a Deathstroke and Deadpool crossover online looter shooter, of course!

Hiring writers may be for service updates going forward, not necessarily indicating the game is years out.

Would be hilarious but unsurprising if RS took over the rebooted Suicide Squad. WB Montreal is on Batfamily something I think. Trading places! I think WB really wants to make Fetch happen vis a vis Suicide Squad.

Rocksteady is hiring promotional people so...
