New Batman Game Appears to Be Targeting PS6

Given the extended development cycles we’re experiencing today, and with the midpoint of the PS5 era well behind us, it’s hardly shocking that game creators might start contemplating the concept of future generations of consoles, such as the hypothetical PS6.

The job posting for a Senior Core Engine Programmer at UK studio Rocksteady clearly indicates that successful applicants will help their team create an exceptional gaming experience across various platforms such as high-end PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and upcoming console generations.

The upcoming solo Batman game is planned to utilize Unreal Engine 5, given that the job posting frequently mentions technology from Epic Games.

With the release of the PS6, there’s likely to be a prolonged transition phase between generations. Therefore, it’s no wonder that this project is designed to be compatible with both the existing PS5 and upcoming next-generation consoles.

It’ll be intriguing to gauge consumer reactions towards it, given that some argue the PS5 hasn’t quite met expectations yet. They claim that a significant number of its top-tier games are playable on both the PS4 and PC.
