Summary
A new report indicates that Monolith’s upcomingWonder Womangame has been rebooted, setting its potential launch date back even further. Monolith Productions, a studio known for popular franchises likeF.E.A.R.,Condemned, and the recentMordorgames, hasn’t had the same sort of luck withWonder Woman, a game that is still largely unknown to the public.
Coming off the success ofShadow of Mordorand its follow up,Shadow of War, there was a ton of excitement from fans when Monolith revealed itsWonder Womantitle at the 2021 Game Awards. Gameplay details have been essentially non-existent, leaving fans to speculate on what the game could be, potentially mixing in features like the Nemesis System, which theMiddle-earthgames were known for. Unfortunately, a new report teases that there could be an even longer wait due to new developments with the game.
According to a new report fromBloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Monolith’sWonder Womangame has been delayed again and potentially in trouble. According to the report,Wonder Womanhas been rebooted again as of last year and has taken on a new game director. Schreier’s article indicated that the development has already cost more than $100 million withmultiple WB studios working onWonder Woman, is still years away from a potential release, and there is a general fear that the game may not even ultimately make it.
Warner Bros Video Game Division Faces a Dire Short Term Future
It’s no secret that Warner Bros gaming division has had a rough couple of years.Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewas a massive flop,Harry Potter: Quiddich ChampionsandMultiVersusunderperformed, with the latter even announcing that it is shutting down later this year. While reports indicate that Rocksteady is moving back to a single player Batman game, due to the turmoil that this division has seen over the past few years, Warner Bros Games President David Haddid is stepping down.
While it hasn’t been all dire for Warner Bros, withHogwarts LegacyandMortal Kombat 1managing to find an audience, it seems there have been more misses than hits over the past few years. In fact, fans were not thrilled to hear thatMultiVersusis shutting down, especially since the game is getting a hefty update that fixes a lot of the issues that players had with the game. Combat and combos are now much faster, harkening back to the original beta days, and has seemingly caused a major boost in player numbers.
