DC Studios CEO James Gunn has recently confirmed exciting developments in the world of DC video games, 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 thread across movies, TV shows, and video games, under the guidance of Warner Bros. Although specifics about the projects are still closely guarded, there's speculation that fans might see a revival of the iconic Batman: Arkham series and a fresh entry into the Injustice series.
Gunn shared that both studios are in the early stages of development and are actively exploring potential crossovers with upcoming DC films. There are also whispers of a new Superman game that could serve as a bridge between the first chapter of the DC cinematic universe and its sequel. While these rumors are yet to be confirmed, Gunn has hinted that the public may start seeing the fruits of these discussions within a few years.
The demand for high-quality DC games has never been higher, especially after fans have been left wanting more since the last entries in the acclaimed Arkham series. Recent releases such as Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have garnered mixed reactions, and there's still no word on Injustice 3. However, with this new emphasis on quality and interconnectivity, it appears that DC games are gearing up for a promising new era.
