Superhero video games aren't anything new but as we enter this new era of getting more high-budget, quality superhero games, I find myself asking one question: Where the women at? Obviously there are games staring 'teams' that feature female characters to play as such as Avengers, Suicide Squad, Gotham Knights, etc. but there's no signs of a single player, story heavy game starring a female superhero which is kind of disappointing. WW84's quality aside, there was a lot of hype for Wonder Woman coming off the first movie yet years have passed and it doesn't seem like there's any plans to make a WW video game. I remember there being leaks about one years back but I guess nothing came about them which is a shame because a Wonder Woman game would be hype as hell imo.
While I would prefer if they went with Silk (because more women of color in major starring roles within video games is a great thing), I'm sure Spider-Gwen will probably be introduced in the Spider-Man games eventually - but who knows how far that'll be. Even a female-only game consisting of a team like Birds of Prey would be cool but that probably won't happen anytime soon after the movie didn't perform as well as it should've (BoP was good! >:( Badly marketed though). I don't know...it just feels like there's a lot of potential for different games with different female characters. Heck, a stealth-action Black Widow game would've probably been more fitting for Crystal Dynamics after their work on the latest Tomb Raiders. Ironically, Black Widow in Avengers seems to actually play how fans want modern Lara too - BW literally has dual pistols in that game.
Anyway, this has been on my mind since yesterday and I just wanted to share my thoughts here. Hopefully I don't regret it.
