Wonder Woman game reportedly "still years away from release" – if it ever launches at all
Three years after its announcement, the future of Warner Bros.’s Wonder Woman game is reportedly in question – with its release said to still be “years away” if it ever launches at all.
That’s according to a new report by Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, detailing the behind-the-scenes turmoil caused by a culture of “ineffectual trend-chasing and wasted development time” at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment during the tenure of outgoing president David Haddad – a period said to have lacked a “strong, cohesive vision” .
Some casualties of Warner Bros.’s reported culture under Haddad are already well-documented, with Warner Bros. Montreal’s Gotham Knights, Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, party brawler MultiVersus, and last year’s Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions all having failed to resonate with consumers. However, Bloomberg’s report also highlights a number of other projects that have either failed or floundered behind closed doors.
Monolith’s Wonder Woman game, for instance, has reportedly “struggled to coalesce” in the years since its announcement in 2021, with the project having switched directors and been rebooted early last year, according to “people familiar with the business”. Wonder Woman is said to have already cost Warner $100m and is still “years away from release”, if it manages to make it to market at all – its fate, according to Bloomberg’s sources, “remains in question”.
