Warner Bros’s New Montreal Studio To Focus on Superheroes
Turns out that last year's Batman: Arkham Asylum was a boon for Warner Bros. Interactive. Not only was the game critically acclaimed, but it seems to have pushed its publisher towards change. According to Develop-online.net, Warner Bros. has taken note of this success, and will soon be opening a new studio devoted to making games based on DC Comics' characters.
Many of you probably already know that DC Comics is a subsidiary of Warner Bros., so it’s in the company’s best interest to utilize these (mostly) untapped comic properties. We already know that London-based developer Rocksteady Games is working on the next Batman title, so we bet that this new Montreal studio will start working on a Superman, Wonder Woman, or even a Green Lantern game. Our hope is we’ll see a Marvel: Ultimate Alliance-like game staring DC’s heroes. Justice League Heroes was okay, but we think it can be done better.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
