Gotham Knights Dev Started Development On New DC Game, Possibly Superman | Emopulse

Developers of Gotham Knights are working on an unannounced multiplayer title, according to a developer's profile on LinkedIn.

emopulse.com

Last month, there were some reports, as covered by VGC, that WB Games Montreal, the studio behind the popular action-adventure game "Gotham Knights," is reportedly working on a second Superhero project.

While details about the new project are scarce, the studio will likely use its experience and expertise in developing action-adventure games to create a unique and exciting player experience.

Now Bryan Theberge, the Senior Producer at WB Games Montreal with over 5 years of experience working on Gotham Knights, just updated his LinkedIn profile that he has been working on an Unannounced Title as a Senior Producer for a month, which could be that second rumored Superhero game project.

cuz it's superman

 

[nsilvias]

well i hope they got a new person on the combat team to fix that stilted gotham knights gameplay

 

[Klobrille]

Could they please update Gotham Knights to 60 FPS before moving on...? :(

 

[Seraphs]

Why?

 

[The_Iceman2288]

Has James Gunn started on the video game side of things already?

 

[ZeoVGM]

Why?

Click to shrink...

They finished their last game and it released.

 

[StrangerDanger]

Can't trust the studio after Gotham knights to make an open world superman game.

 

[Kalik]

why do they keep sticking with the same Superhero genre?...don't they want to try something different?...same with Rocksteady, I love the Arkham games and consider them the best superhero games ever but why not branch out and try something new

 

[shadowman16]

Ah, another few years of Superman rumors... Hopefully one day we get a Superman game, bonus points if its actually good.

 

[Charpunk]

I like how every single time Warner starts working on a game that it's always Superman and never is.

 

[Necromorph]

Preorder bonus: Henry's Cavill skin.

Because they're owned by Warner Bros. and DC and they want them to make DC games?

Are you sure that game was finished? Lol

 

[Devil]

I don't want to disrespect the devs but... why couldn't Rocksteady make a Batfamily game and a Superman game :/ I really don't care about Suicide Squad as a franchise.

 

[AEF1907]

Didn't they worked on a Superman game before Gotham Knights but it got canceled? Or was that Rocksteady?

 

[Witness]

I will not get hyped for a Superman game until it's officially announced. I feel like I've been burned so many times with games and movies for supes. I hope it's true, there were a ton of in game emails from and about him so it would make sense that is next on their list.

 

[NediarPT88]

Didn't they reject a Superman game by Rocksteady? And now they are allowing this team to work on it? Yeah idk about that.

 

[Kyoufu]

They're gonna need a lot of engine enhancemens for a Superman game.

 

[Rackham]

Mmm. That's disappointing

I think it was in pre production, pitch and concept arts being made but not necessarily active development?

So they were making both Damian Wayne and Superman games?

 

[Zaied]

I'd prefer Superman, but if it ends up being Aquaman, I wouldn't be upset.

Not that I'm aware, I think Rocksteady pitched the game at some point either before Arkham Knight or before they started working on their suicide squad game.
IIrc they were never actually "making" the Superman game, just trying to get it or something.

 

[pswii60]

I'm surprised they haven't been shut down, such is the cut-throat nature of the AAA industry.

 

[Rygar1126]

Here's to hoping they will have it done before the end of the decade.

 

[That1GoodHunter]

Good. I'm not really interested in Superman, so i'm glad Rocksteady is not working on it.

 

[SilentObserver]

I don't know if I should be excited at the prospect of getting a game that finally does Superman justice,
Or worried that it is being made by the devs who made Gotham Knights.

The literal definition of a monkey's paw if I ever saw one.

 

[Mórríoghain]

Imagine the stutters with Superman's flight ability 💀

 

[Yerffej]

Did Gotham Knights do well?

 

[Nateo]

0 faith if they stick with GN formula.

 

[Depressed Panda]

DC has so many more heroes.. so please no Batman or Superman 🙏

 

[SilverX]

Not excited. Gotham Knights is one of the most 5/10 games I ever played, like I´d score that across all aspects of the game. Good thing I bought it when it was fittingly 50% off

We haven't had a Superman game in a long, long time.

 

[Kaswa101]

I'd love Superman, but idk if WB Montreal can pull it off based on GK :(

Black Adam.

 

[Stalker]

It's possible to make a good Superman game

The people who made Gotham Knights can't do that

 

[PlanetSmasher]

I don't even care anymore. After Gotham Knights, and the way Suicide Squad is turning out, I want to see some new studios making DC games instead of Rocksteady and WB Montreal.

 

[headspawn]

I wish them the best, hopefully they nail it.

 

[SnatcherHunter]

So 2032? Damn

Superman hasn't had a video game of his own in over a decade. And he's never had a good one.

 

[Patitoloco]

It did okay, wasn't breaking records but it was near the top of many sales lists the month it came out.

 

[Ausroachman]

Based on gotham knights performance, that's going to be 1 slow flying superman.

Just add some speed lines like the batcycle, should be good

 

[Hydeus]

Huh? Maybe they could patch their game no?

There's Monolith making Wonder Woman, but I'm not wild about them either.

 

[Angie]

How is that "probably Superman"?

There is 0 hint there that it is.

I'm not sure how do you do loot game with Superman, unless you mimic Injustice 2 gear system.

[PRrambo_]

Gotham Knights is a letdown, but I hope now that they've been able to cut their teeth, maybe their next game will be better, and I am always down for more AAA superhero games.
