In case you forgot, a Wonder Woman game was announced during the
2021 Game Awards. A very brief teaser trailer aired which featured a voiceover and a quick look at the game's version of Wonder Woman.
After the Game Awards, a little bit of news dropped on the upcoming game: it's in production at Warner Bros. Games, with Monolith, the studio behind Middle-earth: Shadow of War. There's no set release date or platforms, although we can safely assume we'll see it on
PS5,
Xbox Series X, and PC.
The game is described as a “single-player open-world action game will introduce an original story set in the DC Universe and allow players to become Diana of Themyscira in the fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world.”
As far as details on the upcoming Wonder Woman game go, there aren't many, but we've mined the trailer, consulted some comics, and looked at previous Monolith games to suss out what you could expect from a Wonder Woman title. Here goes nothing.
Wonder Woman game release date
There is no Wonder Woman game release date as of yet. It was announced in December 2021 at The Game Awards, and all we know is that it's currently in production. It's highly unlikely it'll be out in 2022, so 2023 may be a safe bet.
Wonder Woman game story and gameplay
As mentioned above, we don't know much about the Wonder Woman game, but we can assume it takes place after Diana has left Themyscira, as her mother calls for her to return to its shores to defend it from an attack. It seems that this will be an entirely different story from the comics, but we'll keep our eyes and ears open to see if any more story details break.
As far as gameplay goes, we know that Wonder Woman will be a third-person action-adventure game. I'm imagining some grappling hook-style abilities that make use of her lasso, and some heavy-handed melee attacks. Monolith has recently
amped up its hiring, and job
listings suggest it's working full-tilt on an action-adventure game. But will it be like upcoming superhero games
Gotham Knights and
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, or something entirely different?
Wonder Woman Nemesis system
As Wonder Woman is in development from Monolith, the studio behind Middle-earth: Shadow of War, fans were wondering if the game would use its widely popular Nemesis system. Happily, it's been confirmed that the Wonder Woman game will use the Nemesis system, which should have interesting implications for gameplay.
The Nemesis system mechanic allows players to influence the game's narrative in unique ways. Enemies will evolve and develop based on your actions, which means even the gruntiest grunt can work it's way up enemy ranks and become, well, your nemesis. In Middle-earth Shadow of War, orcs would get promoted if they killed you, and they'd challenge each other to fight tot he death in order to try and climb the ranks higher.
It's unclear how this system will be used in Wonder Woman, but it certainly makes things interesting.
