Back in 2004, Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker founded the game development studio Rocksteady Studios, which would go on to make a number of great games, though most famously a trilogy of Batman games, and most infamously, a Suicide Squad game.
Hill and Walker left the studio they helped build from the ground-up in 2022, where at the time it seemed like Suicide Squad was months away from arriving. It wouldn’t launch for another year, but by that point there were already murmurs that Hill and Walker had bet on themselves once more, and founded another studio called Hundred Star Games.
On Tuesday, a new report now claims that Hill and Walker have partnered with Xbox to finance the studio’s debut game. The report doesn’t claim to know much about the game or partnership, only that the game is said to be a “AAA-standard single-player, action adventure game built in Unreal Engine 5.”
With that descriptor, it sounds like Hill and Walker are exactly in their wheelhouse, making whatever comes from Hundred Star Games all that more important to watch.
That it is being financed by Xbox though could spell a time-exclusivity deal, so PlayStation players might find themselves waiting an extra six-months to a year for a port once the game itself is completed.
