WB Games Montréal is reportedly developing a new AAA title within the DC Comics Universe, as suggested by a recent job ad for a Senior Producer position on their official site. This game seems to be in the very early stages of pre-production, with the studio on the lookout for a skilled expert to manage all aspects of the game's creation. Below is a screenshot of the job ad:
Reception of Past Titles
The studio has a recent track record of DC-related games like Gotham Knights, but the feedback on their latest releases has been quite mixed. Gotham Knights, for instance, got a tepid reaction from reviewers, with many pointing out its repetitive gameplay, uninspired combat, and subpar optimization. Currently, it boasts a score of 67 on MetaCritic, along with a user score of just 5.3. On the flip side, the studio has also produced well-received games like Hogwarts Legacy and Batman: Arkham City.
Anticipated Features of the New Game
Details about this upcoming game are rather scarce, but it’s presumed to be a significant release, considering the studio’s previous work with DC-themed projects. Speculatively, this could mean we might see another Batman-centric game or perhaps a new title featuring other beloved DC characters (fingers crossed for Superman). This new venture could offer WB Games Montréal a chance to reclaim its place in the DC gaming community.
Moving Forward
Despite the uncertainty, this is thrilling news. With this new hire, the project is expected to gain momentum, and more information should come to light (though not in the immediate future) as development continues.
