Credits for Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight list Rocksteady as a co-developer, with about 24 staff contributing to TT Games' fourth Lego Batman title.
Those contributors included a producer, designer, and several senior programmers and artists, while Warner Bros. Games Montreal was also credited on the project.
The game pairs an open-world Gotham with combat and stealth systems that closely echo Rocksteady's Arkham series, extending the resemblance from gameplay to the development team.
The credit marks a notable Batman-related role for Rocksteady after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League flopped critically and commercially, contributing to a $200 million loss for Warner.
After its $200M failure, can a Lego game truly be the redemption for Arkham's legendary creator, Rocksteady?
Can a family-friendly Lego title successfully merge with the dark, complex combat of the beloved Arkham series?
