DC video games have faced significant challenges in recent years, marked by a series of errors and project cancellations. Despite the success of iconic titles like the Batman: Arkham series, the overall offering of games based on the DC universe has lacked consistency. This situation is something that James Gunn, co-director of DC Studios, seeks to correct as part of his long-term ten-year plan.
Un plan a largo plazo para que los videojuegos de DC sean buenos de nuevo
Desde el lanzamiento del renovado Universo DC en 2023, Gunn ha enfatizado la importancia de la narración transmedia, señalando que los actores interpretarán a sus personajes “a través de todos los medios, incluidos los videojuegos.” Aunque ha habido poco movimiento público desde esa declaración, Gunn confirmó recientemente que hay “un ligero movimiento en diferentes cosas.” Esto podría implicar un futuro donde figuras como David Corenswet den voz a personajes como Superman en películas y otros formatos, aunque Gunn no proporcionó detalles específicos sobre esto.
Gunn also highlighted the existence of several small DC games in development, as well as the possibility of more ambitious projects in the planning phase. “I’m excited about one thing in particular, but it takes time,” he said in an interview with GamesRadar. Both Gunn and Peter Safran are taking a proactive approach to shaping the future of DC video games. In previous comments, Safran mentioned that they are trying to correct the course to offer fans must-play games again.
Additionally, it has been confirmed that Rocksteady is returning to its roots with a new single-player Batman project, while WB Games centralizes its efforts on its most important franchises. Gunn warned that any major release of a new DC game will be, at least, a couple of years away, leaving fans anticipating a more promising future for the company’s video games.
