DC Studios chief James Gunn has revealed discussions with Rocksteady and NetherRealm Studios regarding new DC Universe video game projects. These studios are working closely with Warner Bros. to ensure a unified vision across films, television, and games. Specific details remain confidential, but potential projects include a continuation of the acclaimed Batman: Arkham series and a new Injustice title.
Gunn indicated that both studios are sharing early development ideas and exploring potential crossovers with upcoming films. Speculation also points to a possible Superman game, potentially connecting the first chapter of the DC cinematic universe to future installments. While no official announcements are imminent, Gunn suggests that the initial results of these collaborations could be revealed within the next few years.
The need for high-quality DC games is undeniable. Fans have been yearning for worthy successors to the Arkham series, and recent releases like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League received mixed critical reception, with Injustice 3 still unannounced. This renewed commitment to quality and inter-studio collaboration suggests a promising new era for DC video games.
