WB Montreal’s rumored Superman project is one of many DC titles under development at WB Games

According to recent rumors, WB Games Montreal, the studio behind Batman Arkham Origins and Gotham Knight, is currently developing an untitled Superman game.

WB Games, the video game subsidiary of Warner Media entertainment, is known for multiple amazing video games based on a plethora of properties owned by WB, such as DC Comics, Middle Earth (Lord of Rings and Hobbit), Wizarding World (Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts), and the ever-popular Lego series.

Recently, there have been some questions regarding the future of WB Games, due to the Warner Discovery merger. The only certainty is the number of upcoming DC-related video games.

The Superman game is one of many DC projects being developed at the various WB Games studios

WB Games previously helmed Batman Arkham Origins (2013), a prequel game set before the events of the Batman Arkham Trilogy games by Rocksteady, and also lent a hand with the development of Batman Arkham Knight DLCs.

The studio is currently deep in the development of Gotham Knight, an original IP based on the DC comics, with an estimated release date of 2022.

The Superman game was first hinted at and later confirmed by well-known industry insider James Sigfield. The game will be an original IP, similar to Gotham Knight and isn’t expected before 2024 at the earliest.

Gotham Knights is going to get a years worth of post launch content (possibly more), you aren’t going to see what comes next for a while. 2024 release at the earliest.
