Sefton Hill is the talented director responsible for bringing us the beloved Batman Arkham trilogy. And now, it seems that Microsoft has struck a deal with the minds behind this iconic series. Reports suggest that the tech giant has signed on Hundred Star Games, a promising new studio founded by none other than Jamie Walker and Sefton Hill, the co-founders of Rocksteady.
In recent years, Xbox has been lacking in the AAA platform exclusive department, with games like Redfall and Starfield not quite living up to expectations. But with this new partnership, it seems that Microsoft is determined to change that. And with the success of the Batman: Arkham trilogy and the recent release of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, we have high hopes for what this collaboration will bring.
Jamie Walker and Sefton Hill left Rocksteady in 2022 to embark on a "new adventure in games." And now, it seems that we finally have some details about their next project. According to eXputer, the studio is working on an AAA single-player action adventure game using the powerful Unreal Engine 5. And with the financial backing of Xbox Game Studios, it's safe to assume that this game will be an exclusive for Xbox and PC.
Although, with Microsoft's recent shift towards multiplatform releases, it's possible that this could change. The studio, which is yet to be officially announced, already has a website and is currently hiring for various positions. And according to a listing on the Great Place To Work website, Hundred Star Games is made up of a team of "only 100 industry veterans and emerging talents" who are dedicated to pushing boundaries and creating innovative gaming experiences.
It's also worth noting that over 20 employees at Hundred Star Games are reportedly ex-Rocksteady developers. While Microsoft has not confirmed this partnership yet, it's possible that we may hear more about it at the upcoming Xbox showcase on June 9. After all, Microsoft has a history of announcing projects years before they are released, such as the upcoming reboots of Fable and Perfect Dark.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves. We're excited about this new partnership, but we're also cautiously optimistic. After all, we all remember the disappointment of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. But with a team of talented developers and a strong financial backing, we have high hopes for this new project.
