The brand new DCU is likely to be making some headway on the movie and TV facet, however you are going to need to maintain ready for its online game entries.
Linked universes have clearly been one thing many studios have wanted for the reason that introduction of the MCU, and lots of have did not efficiently create one, together with DC. Co-CEOs of DC Studios James Gunn and Peter Safran are presently working to get the brand new one proper, with the primary large entry being the previous’s Superman movie due out this summer season. But it surely’s not simply movie and TV that DC Studios is interested by, as Gunn and Safran seemingly need video games which are canon to the DCU too. The pair have talked about this earlier than, however at a current presentation held for the press, Gunn offered an replace as to how lengthy we will anticipate to attend earlier than we see that facet of issues.
When requested about how lengthy it will likely be for the primary DCU sport to reach, Gunn defined that it is nonetheless years away, however the first debut of one thing is a “couple of years” away (by way of Comicbook.com). Safran added that it is “a pair years however we’ve had some fairly energetic involvement in some stuff arising that’s actually fascinating.” The 2 of them additionally shared that they’ve met with Injustice developer NetherRealm and the Batman Arkham collection studio Rocksteady (who is likely to be as soon as once more making a single-player Batman sport) about future DC tasks, and the methods during which each studios may seek the advice of on them.
“We work extremely carefully with JB Perrette who runs that division,” Safran defined. “It’s actually the primary time it is ever been this manner at Warner Bros. James and I sit with the blokes that run the studios below JB whether or not it’s NetherRealm or Rocksteady. We sit with them and we speak about characters and tales that we’re interested by and that they’re interested by.”
Gunn famous that they “see designs for the tasks of their very earliest phases. We speak about these, we speak about what the story is likely to be and we’ll say ‘Effectively, you possibly you wish to go this manner as a result of we’re planning on possibly doing one thing with this character.’”
Personally, I am not even assured we’ll see an announcement for a sport within the subsequent couple years – improvement simply takes so lengthy now contemplating how huge video games are nowadays, so I am not going to carry them to those feedback. Plus, they only introduced much more tasks that they’ve within the works, and I am not even assured they will handle these.
