A recent job posting from WB Games Montreal has inadvertently revealed an upcoming AAA DC Comics live-service video game. This revelation comes as a surprise, given the backlash faced by Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s games-as-a-service model and its commercial failure. While audiences remain eager for more games featuring iconic DC superheroes and villains, this unintended disclosure through a Warner Bros. career listing has sparked intrigue over the project’s potential.
With many attributing the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to its live-service model, it is startling that WB Games Montreal is already venturing into another game with a similar structure. Yet, many fans are optimistic about what could be a significant addition to the existing range of beloved DC Comics games.
The job post details that WB Games Montreal is seeking an Executive Producer for “a high-quality AAA game” based on “one of the iconic IPs from the vast Warner Bros. and DC Comics catalog.” Candidates should have experience in “post-launch content and live-service strategies” and maintain a “scalable production environment that supports long-term success.” Furthermore, applicants must demonstrate a “deep appreciation for WB and DC Comics universes,” hinting at a game brimming with diverse characters.
While the job listing offers limited specifics on the project, it has ignited discussions among fans about a conceivable new online multiplayer DC Comics game. Many dream of a vast recreation of Gotham City linked to Metropolis, with players traversing iconic DC locales. Given the Source material, one could anticipate significant conflict between heroes and villains, although it remains unclear if players will create custom characters or select from a familiar roster. Only time will tell the complete details of the game, and fans are encouraged to stay tuned for any updates on this live-service DC title from WB.
In spite of fan enthusiasm, multiple canceled Warner Bros. games have made many understandably cautious about unannounced projects. It’s uncertain whether this DC Comics live-service game will come to fruition and reach the public, but many are hopeful that WB Games Montreal can produce a new hit that appeals to both comic book fans and gaming audiences.
