DC Studios CEO James Gunn has recently revealed his involvement in discussions with Rocksteady and NetherRealm Studios about new game projects set within the expansive DC Universe. Gunn emphasized that these studios are working hand-in-hand with Warner Bros. to ensure a seamless integration between movies, television series, and video games. Although details about the specific projects are still under wraps, there is speculation that fans might see a new chapter in the iconic Batman: Arkham series and a fresh entry in the popular Injustice franchise.
Gunn shared that both studios are in the early stages of development and are actively considering crossovers with upcoming DC films. Moreover, there are whispers of a Superman game that could serve as a bridge between the initial chapter of the DC cinematic universe and its sequel. While nothing has been officially confirmed, Gunn hinted that the first results of these collaborative efforts might 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 beloved Arkham series. Recent releases like Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have received mixed reviews, and the much-anticipated Injustice 3 has yet to be announced. With this renewed emphasis on quality and collaboration, it appears that DC games are on the cusp of a promising new era.
