DC Studios<\/a> co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have held discussions with Warner Bros. Games<\/a> studios Rocksteady and NetherRealm about new video games based on the DC Universe. The two studio chiefs have talked to developers over characters and story in DC<\/a> titles and how they could align with larger plans for the DCU films and multi-media franchise. Gunn has also confirmed the first DCU video game is at least a \u201ccouple years\u201d away.<\/p>\n

New DCU Game A ‘Couple Years’ Away<\/h2>\n

The two executives spoke to the press at a DC Studios event and shared updates on the video games side of the new DC Universe. \u201cWe work incredibly closely with JB Perrette, who runs that division, and it’s really the first time it’s ever been this way at Warner Brothers,\u201d Safran said at the event (via IGN<\/a>). Perrette heads the Global Streaming and Games division at Warner Bros<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cJames and I sit with literally the guys that run the studios underneath JB, whether it’s NetherRealm<\/a> or whether it’s Rocksteady, sit with them and talk about characters and stories that we’re interested in and that they’re interested in,\u201d Safran added.<\/p>\n

Gunn said that he and Safran had seen early-stage designs for projects in development at game studios and discussed the story and characters. \u201cWe talk about when they’re talking about what the story might be, we say, \u2018Well, maybe you want to go this way because we’re planning on maybe doing something with this character and so forth and so on,’ and help to deal with that,\u201d Gunn said.<\/p>\n

The DC Studios chief also confirmed that a new DCU video game was at least two years away from release, with Safran saying that upcoming projects were \u201creally interesting\u201d.<\/p>\n

The update from the two DC Studios heads comes weeks after a Bloomberg report<\/a>\u00a0that claimed\u00a0Rocksteady Studios<\/a> was working on a single-player Batman game. Citing people familiar with matter, the report had said the new Batman title was years away from release. It’s, however, unclear if Rocksteady’s next game would be part of its Batman: Arkham series or a reboot under the new DC Universe.<\/p>\n

Further, a new Wonder Woman game is also reportedly in the works at Monolith Productions at WB Games. The game, reportedly in development for years, was rebooted in 2024 and remained years away from launch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
