Its 10 years Arkham Knight but at least VR game Arkham Shadows was good (WB Games)Monoliths Wonder Woman game has undergone a reboot according to a new report, as Rocksteady looks to return to Batman.Despite the sales success of Hogwarts Legacy, the gaming division at Warner Bros. has been lurching from one failure to the other over recent years.Last years release of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League kicked off what became an especially bad year for the company, with both Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions and MultiVersus (which is set to shut down soon) failing to meet expectations leading to a massive $300 million overall.A new report has now shed light on future projects under Warner Bros. Games, which are hoping to turn the tide, although it doesnt seem as if theyre two new DC projects will be out anytime soon.According to Bloomberg, the Wonder Woman game, which was originally announced in 2021, was rebooted early last year and switched directors. Its unclear, however, who has taken over. Its claimed the game has already cost Warner Bros. Games $100 million, and because of this reboot, is still years away from release, if it ever makes it to market.According to the report, the first version of Wonder Woman tried reimagining the Nemesis system used in the studios previous game, Middle-earth: Shadow Of War, so the DC heroine would befriend enemies. That idea, however, has apparently been ditched in favour of a more traditional action adventure game.At this stage though, its claimed Wonder Womans fate remains in question due to leadership changes at Monolith Productions and issues with the games technology, so its unclear if it will ever see the light of day at all.There are various claims about projects in the works at other Warner Bros. Games studios. Gotham Knights developer WB Games Montreal allegedly pitched games based on DC antihero John Constantine and The Flash, but these were both canned, with the latter due to the box office failure of the 2023 movie starring Ezra Miller.Now, its said the studio is supporting development on Wonder Woman, while working on a pitch for a new game based on Game Of Thrones.More TrendingAs for Suicide Squad developer Rocksteady, the report claims the studio is looking to return to Batman for a single-player game but the project is years away from landing. So dont get too excited about a potential follow-up to Batman: Arkham Knight just yet. A sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight could happen (Warner Bros. Games)Overall, it paints a pretty bleak picture for the future slate of Warner Bros. Games. The company itself is in a period of transition, after president David Haddad announced he would be stepping down last month, with a successor yet to be determined.The companys most bankable hit moving forward is the sequel to Hogwarts Legacy, which is set to connect in some way to the Harry Potter TV series planned for 2026. A release date for the sequel, however, is yet to be announced.We might be getting more Hogwarts Legacy soon though, with a special edition featuring extra content rumoured to be in the works. Hogwarts Legacy 2 cant come soon enough for Warner Bros.(Warner Bros.
