Recently I reported on some job listings that pointed to WB Montreal's next project being a multiplayer, next-gen, new IP, and now it seems like more has been spilled on yet another one of their projects.
In a recent interview, Osama Dorias, a Senior Game Designer at WB Montreal, let it spill that he just finished working on an open world, DC Universe main console game and has moved onto a new, different WB Montreal project. He also mentioned that the property he worked on is a major DC property, and one of the main reasons he joined WB Montreal alongside his former Ubisoft boss and WB Montreal's new Game Director, Geoff Ellenor.
Easy assumption would be that WB Montreal has been tinkering away at yet another installment in the Arkham franchise, but after a look at his various social media profiles, the game may actually be something different. Osama happens to be a big Batman fan, but someone also plastered on his Instagram file is none other than the big blue boyscout himself, Superman. WB Montreal has worked on a Superman game in the past, but it seems as if it never got to the greenlight stage and was canned. With the new change in leadership, could they have moved back to the project? Who knows, my first bet is still on Batman, but with all the support for a purported Rocksteady Superman game, WB might have reopened themselves to the idea.
He mentions the open world DC game stuff in the very beginning of the video and also says that the game is too early in development for an announcement.
This now puts 3 major DC console games in development. Two for WB Montreal, one for Rocksteady.
