During The Game Awards 2021, a surprise world reveal was shown off, with Monolith Productions announcing a Wonder Woman game. The title will aim to deliver an original story set around the legendary DC Comics superhero. While the game won’t be done for a while, we do know a little about what to expect from the game thanks to Monolith Productions sharing some key details on it, and fans are already hoping this game can arrive as one of the best Xbox games available. Here’s everything we know about Wonder Woman so far.
What is Wonder Woman?
Wonder Woman is an upcoming third person, open-world action-adventure game that will feature the iconic character from the world of DC Comics. The title is being developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive.
According to the company in a press release shortly after the game’s announcement, Wonder Woman will tell “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.”
Currently, it’s unknown whether the Wonder Woman game will feature any other character from the world of DC, but it’s highly likely that at least a few familiar faces from the Wonder Woman comics will be appearing. Due to Monolith Productions describing the game as an original story, it’s also unclear whether the game will tie into any sort of established canon that DC has set in its comics, or throughout its movie properties.
Wonder Woman trailers
The first trailer for Wonder Woman was revealed the game during The Game Awards 2021 on Dec. 9. While there’s no actual gameplay, or really any kind of hint as to what the story will be, we do get a good look at what Diana will look like in the game.
Throughout the trailer, Queen Hippolyta — Wonder Woman’s mother and Amazon Queen — asks her daughter to return home, likely setting the stage for where the game will begin.
Who is Monolith Productions?
Not to be confused with Monolith Soft, the developer of Xenoblade Chronicles, Monolith Productions is a developer owned by Warner Bros. Throughout its history, it’s developed a handful of critically acclaimed games, including the F.E.A.R. series, Gotham City Imposters, and most recently, both Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War.
For fans speculating, Wonder Woman will likely be closer to both Middle-Earth titles than anything else …….
