That's kind of a dick move to spoil Jason's news, no? Could've just said no and let Jason do his thing.
Edit: Talking about the guy on twitter.
Edit 2: Nevermind, I misunderstood the tweet context.

It'll really suck if Rocksteady's next game is full of lootboxes and shit, but I expect it at this point. Warner Bros is a terrible publisher who loves to does stuff like locking entire characters behind preroders, having $100 digital versions of their games, and overpricing DLC. I mean, they put loot boxes into a fighting game, they'll do anything to get a few extra bucks while they dodge taxes.

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I always think a document like this, at this level, wouldn't have so many typos.

I've seen plenty of typos from emails like this. I don't believe this leak is real, but typos wouldn't be a good reason to not believe in it.

YOOOO! This sounds awesome lol. I would love for this to be real. I know GaaS/Destiny type games are getting a bad wrap, but man this sounds so good.

Although, I kinda hope its not just Suicide Squad. I can see them being apart of it, but not the main focus for the GaaS game.

Recently replayed the Arkham trilogy and I honestly would be down for this. Arkham games always had great gameplay and immersive settings but the stories weren't anything to write home about. Bringing that to a multiplayer / co-op setting would be interesting imo.

Nice, I'm team real on this one.

Between Jason confirming Rocksteady's game is a superhero game featuring multiple heroes back in December and Rocksteady hiring a project manager specialising in GaaS last May (same dude who handled monetization for Shadow of War), this is definitely Suicide Squad.

Honestly pretty excited to see this and WB Montreal's game.

Can the people who play DCU Online give some insight on how similar this would be to that?
if this turns out to be accurate, in terms of gameplay they would probably not be that's similar they should probably be closer to something like I don't know a Warframe or Division I would assume.
It sounds like you're probably creating your own character so I guess that might be similar in some respect. And that game also works on the basis of multiple hub areas so yeah. There's that.

Oh almost forgot, this has to be on next gen consoles right? You wouldnt think they would release a new big GaaS type game right before the new consoles come out, unless its built to be played on both?

Now im even more curious what SE is doing with their Avengers game lol.

This is Rocksteady's game. We've known it's a superhero GaaS title for a while now.

WB Montreal's game is Superman and another open-world DC game in UE4 (no idea if its multiplayer).

If it turns out to be a "create your own superhero/super villain" game then I'm hyped. If it's a game with pre-selected characters then I'll be less hyped, but still gonna buy it.

I think this is what Jason was alluding to when he said it isn't a straight up Superman/Batman/JL game, but wouldn't speak on if they appear.
glad they plugged in their phone but I've had to fake phone screens before, not that hard to do.
I think it's a shitty thing to post private messages without consent unless its evidence for a crime or wrongdoing so i'm going to continue to give this tweet shit regardless if it's real
I only posted it because they tweeted about it lol

I thought WB Montreal's game was Batman with Court of Owls? They have two in development, though, so I guess the other could be Superman.

I feel like the more interesting thing to do would have been to make it based around Rip Hunter's Time Squad or something and have you go to famous DC locations in different time periods.

...Eh.

Whether this in particular is real or not, I can certainly believe that Rocksteady would be commissioned by WB to do a GAAS Loot-n-shoot type of game utilizing the DC universe. If for no other reason, than to have their own answer to Marvel's Avengers game that seems to be aiming for a similar audience.

Time will tell if I'll actually be interested, though. Raid-centric games that I can't play alone are the main difference between stuff that I can reasonably hang with because they allow me to play at my own pace, like Monster Hunter, and games like Destiny, that I inevitably dropped because I didn't have time to coordinate with other people.

If nothing else I hope they don't have you facing off against anyone particularly famous in the DC universe. Like fighting Ra's at the end of a raid or whatever already sounds like the worst thing in the world.
I don't want to have to grind out gear fighting like a level 50 Epic Joker or whatever.

If it's another loot based game filled to the brim with Micro Transactions, loot boxes and horrible game design, then the end is truly upon us.

I really would like one more Arkham game, especially Beyond Arkham.
Then they can do what the fuck they want.

I'm pretty sure their main project is Court of Owls which is supposedly multiplayer while Superman is the other unannounced open-world game. There has been talks about Court of Owls releasing this year too.






Notice how the shirt is really similar to the Court of Owls insignia in the recent graphic novels? It's a done deal imo.

So three major DC games in development. Two at WB Montreal and one at Rocksteady.

Okay so

First of all

WB Montreal hasn't released a video game in forever and probably aren't making two games at once after five consecutive years of major failure.

Second of all

Have there been any credible rumors about Superman from WB Montreal at all.

Is WB Montreal's second project being Superman inside knowledge? I don't remember there being anything credible on that front.

When you say "Raids", I think Destiny. When I think Destiny, I think loot... so is this a Superhero Shlooter? Also known as a Supshlooter?

A quick google search
During an interview on the Humans of Gaming Podcast in October 2018, WB Games Montréal Senior Game Designer Osama Dorias confirmed that two DC Comics based videogames are currently in development at the studio
