DC Studios CEO James Gunn has confirmed exciting developments in the world of DC gaming, revealing that he has engaged in discussions with Rocksteady and NetherRealm Studios about new projects set within the DC Universe. These collaborations are part of a broader strategy to weave a seamless narrative across movies, TV shows, and video games, as both studios work closely with Warner Bros. to achieve this goal. While specifics about the projects are still closely guarded, there is speculation that fans might see a revival of the cherished Batman: Arkham series and a new addition to the Injustice franchise.
Gunn shared that both Rocksteady and NetherRealm are in the early stages of development and are considering potential crossovers with upcoming DC films. There are also whispers of a new Superman game that could serve as a narrative bridge between the first chapter of the DC cinematic universe and its anticipated sequel. Although these projects are not yet officially confirmed, Gunn hinted that the first results of these discussions could be revealed to the public in the coming years.
The demand for high-quality DC games is undeniable, with fans eagerly anticipating successors to the critically acclaimed Arkham series. Recent releases like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have received mixed feedback, and Injustice 3 has yet to be announced. With this renewed emphasis on quality and interconnected storytelling, DC games are on the cusp of a promising new era.
