  • Past games from WB Montreal like Gotham Knights and Arkham Origins have received a mix of reviews, showcasing their expertise in DC-themed games.

WB Games Montreal, known for the creation of Gotham Knights, is speculated to be collaborating with Monolith Productions on their upcoming Wonder Woman game, as suggested by a recent job advertisement. WB Montreal has a strong background in the DC Universe, previously assisting Rocksteady with Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition and later releasing Batman: Arkham Origins. Their most recent project, Gotham Knights, shifted focus to characters from the Bat Family defending Gotham City after Batman's apparent demise.

While Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights were met with mixed reviews upon launch, comparisons to Rocksteady's DC games were inevitable. However, rumors hint that WB Montreal is still deeply involved with DC properties, evident from their recent job listing seeking talent for a new project under Warner Bros. Discovery. The listing, posted earlier this month, called for a Creative Director experienced in delivering top-tier action titles akin to Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights.

Recent revelations confirm WB Montreal's involvement in another significant DC-themed video game. A job listing for an External Development Artist explicitly mentions their contribution to Monolith's Wonder Woman game. The chosen individual will focus on bridging WB Montreal's internal Level Art team with global developers to create in-game assets like props, architecture, and natural elements. They will also oversee asset production timelines and quality standards.

Collaborative Efforts Between WB Montreal and Monolith Productions

Monolith Productions, recognized for their work on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War, unveiled their Wonder Woman game during The Game Awards 2021. Details remain scarce, but it is known to be an open-world title incorporating the popular Nemesis System from their Middle-earth games. Warner Bros. has assured players that Wonder Woman will not follow a live-service model, deviating from recent titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

With WB Montreal's involvement in aiding the development of Monolith's Wonder Woman game, the release date remains unknown. However, the studio's expertise in crafting comic book games such as Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights will undoubtedly prove invaluable during the game's development.
