Meanwhile, WB Games Montreal has had its own wave of mixed success through various licensed projects over the years. After building on Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse in 2013’sBatman: Arkham Origins,WB Games Montrealbranched out into its own DC-based continuity withGotham Knights, a more team-centric title that shifted the spotlight toward Batman’s former sidekicks as they banded together to defend Gotham City following their mentor’s death.

WB Montreal Could Be Working On Another DC Game
Earlier this year, reports hinted that WB Games Montreal was working on yet another DC Comics-based title, one that would be focused on single-player and be built using Unreal Engine 5. Many fans have been hoping that this still-unknown projectwill be a Superman game, especially after the long-standing rumors that Rocksteady was working on such a project were debunked by industry insiders back in November. Others feel that WB Games Montreal should get another chance with the Arkhamverse, thoughSuicide Squad’s divisive reception has raised questions about the franchise’s future.
Of course, WB Games Montreal’s next project might not be a DC game at all, though the studio’s history and the wording of this recent job offer suggest that it will at least be a AAA action-adventure title based on one ofWarner Bros Discovery’s many iconic IPs. Official details are still scarce as of this writing, so players will have to stay tuned for more information aboutWB Games Montreal’s next AAA blockbuster as it comes forward.
