You didn't think Warner Bros would sit on that controversial patent and never use it again, did you? Originally part of the Middle-earth titles on PlayStation 4, it has been confirmed that Monolith's new Wonder Woman title will also feature the Nemesis System. The game will also be single player and tells an original story in the DC universe.
While the announcement trailer gave very little away beyond the look of Wonder Woman herself, the accompanying YouTube description reads: "The 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."
It goes on to explain how the Nemesis System will allow players to "forge deep connections with both enemies and allies as they progress from a heroic fighter into a proven leader". The feature has presumably been upgraded in the years since Middle-earth: Shadow of War with new hooks and ideas. The team is now hiring for various roles on the project, suggesting Wonder Woman is still at least a few years off actually relesing.

Glad its open world, hopefully we can fly as well.
PS6 launch game. Unless Microsoft buys them first.😉
Hopefully, the story is more bloody, bad-ass WW than the abysmal WW84 one.
This sounds fantastic. The Mordor games were fascinating action titles, but I just... don't like that IP at all. I love Wonder Woman, so really digging this announcement.
Yeah, the Mordor games just didn't click with me. Hopefully they can make something unique out of this as it has a lot of potential
@RBMango
Lmao at one point you can unlock a powerup where you go around sexually harassing the enemy NPC's
nope not interested ive had enough super hero games
This could be a winner 👍
Shadow of mordor Games are amazing.this i dont know.word up son
@Camlambelot No we do not and Wonder Woman deserves her own VG.
It not an IP I imagine many gamers being drawn to, so it will need to be extra good.
BUT.. this studio's work was good and so I cant help feeling this might be a sleeper hit... I certainly wish them luck, cause its an over crowded genre!
Wonder Woman game has enormous potential so I'm intrigued by this one.
Too many superhero games? No, not really. A good game is a good game, that's all that matters.
New IPs are a risk and most often or not they fail. It's the same in other mediums. We just like what we like, no harm in that.
They should get the actress behind Kassandra to voice her. I played her as if she was WW anyway.
😉
Honestly for me the LOTR games were good in concept and poor in world design. Teh combat and systems worked well, but the terrible and repetitive use of assets and lame world design made it really get old fast. Honestly the nemesis system also added to this very repetitive feeling to the game. A never ending loop of doing the same things to interact with the system. I feel like for that to have worked for me the world had to be enticing enough to want to continue to enjoy. It just wasnt. I bought shadow of war hoping they would have expanded on that only to see it be just as terribly designed a world.
Definitely potential with this one yet, If they do the same nonsense with this game, it will be a hard pass. No matter how slick they make the combat, or the nemesis stuff. If its just a bunch of terribly designed outposts and towers reused over and over again it will be a hard pass.
@Camlambelot that's like asking don't we have enough generic shooty shooty bang bang games, or jrpgs. As long as there's fanbase for that kind of thing, why shouldn't they make another superhero game.
@trev666. It's nowhere as oversaturated as shooters or most regular franchises for example.
@Titntin the movie did very well, so the game may not be that hard a sell.
@Camlambelot Because she's Wonder Woman and the Queen of comic book. She's a fantastic character with a rich world what would go well with video games, also name another comic book VG with a female lead? AC Odyssey is the closest we got to a Wonder Woman game but its time we got the real thing.
@Col_McCafferty Odyssey even gives you an armour set what's basically WW's costume, even the name references her so its clear Kassandra was based a lot on Diana.
@WallyWest Yea, that was my preferred costume for her as wel. Upgraded the Hell out of it!
You can never have too many super hero games. And I loved the nemesis system in the midle earth games. I hope this is going to be good.
I platinumed both Mordor games and this kinda bums me out. The way the Nemesis system was used was simply to pad playing time and keep you doing the same Ubisoft map clearing over and over again. The system was also poorly under-utilised when you consider the potential, so not particularly excited about its inclusion. Giving me flashbacks of all my grinding
Absolutely tired (and probably too old) to play open world games in any way / shape or form. Guardians of the Galaxy were just awesome.
I don't feel like the Mordor games ever put all the pieces together. The tone felt wrong for Tolkien, the gameplay was too repetitive, and the world felt like a gameplay level stuffed with enemies standing in groups rather than a real place. I'm excited to see if they can improve on it
Fingers crossed this is more comic book accurate than the movies...I figure this game won't be releasing until sometime in 2023 at the earliest.
@rjejr The reason the deal with Microsoft did not go through is they wanted to buy Rocksteady and Netherealm only with the respective rights to the properties. They wanted all this for $2 billion, Monolith was never a part of the deal with Microsoft, nor Warner Bros. Montreal.
@jjvz1989 Thanks. I had no idea about any of that, it was just a joke about MS keeps buying companies and keeping those games off of PS consoles.
@rjejr Yes, there were leaked documents containing the offer for those two studios, but Discovery wanted everything that has not yet been sold off at that point. Clearly, Discovery is giving it a go, Wonder Woman is under them, a second WB Montreal game, and they have hired some industry veterans, including a Santa Monica veteran as the head of Monolith. AT&T did not care much for the gaming division, they cancelled three WB Montreal games, one Superman, one Batman, a Suicide Squad game, the sequel to Shadow of War from Monolith, cancelled Superman game from Rocksteady, and lost the license to the Lord of the Rings, and they wanted to sell, but Discovery made an offer on all of it.
@jjvz1989 Thanks. I remember that WB Discovery deal, $43B wow, but I was focused more on what it meant for Discovery+ and HBO Max than the gaming side.
