This week, Kinda Funny's Greg Miller served up a heaping scoop of industry info , stating that he had heard from inside sources that Monolith’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Wonder Woman game is in the midst 🤪of a “troubled” development.
Where Is Wonder Woman?
Given it’s been two-and-a-half years since the game was revealed with , and since we’ve heard nothing but radio silence from developer Monolith, that doesn’t seem too surprising. A studio keeping its head down and working hard without updating fans isn’t always 🐽a bad sign but, you know, sometimes it is.

We know nothing about Wonder Woman aside from the fact it uses the Nemesis system, but tꦯhat's enough to get me exc𓃲ited
The problem is that Wonder Woman really needs to be good. Though DC is one of the crown jewels in WB’s suite of IP, it’s been years since a game starring one of its heroes (or antiheroes, as the case may be) has really hit. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Le🀅ague flopped, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Gotham Knights 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:doesn't seem to have sold well either. Given that both developers went nearly a decade between releases, that's a lot of money down the drain with only trend-chasing disappointments to show for it.
The last major DC game to really hit with critics and fans was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Injustice 2 all the way back in 2017. Telltale’s Batman: The Enemy Within was also well liked. Even if it had been a huge hit, it came out seven years ago. WB needs Wonder Woman because it needs any DﷺC game that can reclaim the brand’s former gaming greatness after two big misfiresꦯ.
I’m not counting Multiversus as a DC game because that would be like saying Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is an Ice Climbers🗹 game.
The Long, Winding Road To A Proper Arkham Follow-Up
WB seemed to take all the wrong lessons from the Arkham trilogy, pivoting from a successful single-player Batman franchise to two multiplayer games that a) didn’t star Batman, and b) added insult to injury by taking forever to make. Wonde🤡r Woman seems like a step back in the right direction, since it’s a single🥂-player open-world game from a studio known for making pretty good games exactly like this.
Whereas Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad required WB Montreal and Rocksteady to take on unfamiliar genres in an attempt to chases trends, the studio behind Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow War is simply making a Wonder Woman game in the same genre, and reportedly building on the p൲atented Nemesis System those games used so well.
WB seems committed to making this game a successor to botꦍh the Batman: Arkham games and the Middle-Earth games, both of which were expansive single-player outings. WB even took the unusual step of squashing𝓰 rumors that Wonder Woman had pivoted to become a game as a service.
"Wonder Woman is a single-player action-adventure game set in a dynamic open-world," it . "This third person experience will allow players to become Diana of Themyscira and introduce an original story set in the DC Universe, while also featuring the Nemesis System. Wonder Woman is not being designed as a li🍌ve service."
It seems like WB wants to gain back its reputation for making good, single-player DC games and Wonder Woman is its chance to do just tha𒅌t. So, the development trouble the game seems to be going through isn’t just about the game. It’s about what it represents for DC as a reliable gaming property going forward as the superhero boom wanes.

DC used to be on t🔯op when it came to games, but somewhere along the line, that golden era crashed and burned.
