Wonder Woman Video Game Update: Monolith Game Looks Doomed

Monolith Productions‘ Wonder Woman video game was revealed back at the tail end of 2021. Over three years later, it seems the studio still has nothing tangible to really show off its project which is supposed to utilize its popular Nemesis system from the Shadow of Mordor games. According to a new report, the game is in some sort of development hell with not clear vision of when it could possibly be released.

Will the Wonder Woman video game ever release?

In a new report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, he gives details on Monolith and the current struggles they are having with the Wonder Woman video game. The game was allegedly one of WB Games’ “biggest bets,” and has already cost the company $100 million according to people familiar with the situation. It also seems that there is doubt it will ever launch to the public with it being “years away” from being finished.

“One of the company’s biggest bets in development, a video game based on Wonder Woman, has struggled to coalesce, according to people familiar with the project,” says Schreier. “Early last year, it was rebooted and switched directors. The game has already cost more than $100 million, said the people who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information, and is still years away from release, if it ever makes it to market.”

According to the report, it has been a struggle for Monolith Productions to get anything out to the public since its 2017 release Middle Earth: Shadow of War. Following the sequel, the studio began work on a brand new franchise that experimented with procedural storytelling. It was inevitably canceled in 2021 in which they began working on the Wonder Woman video game. Now three years later, the studio still has nothing to show due to shifts in leadership at the company, and technological issues with the game.

“It has now been more than seven years since the studio’s last game. An initial version of Wonder Woman tried reimagining the Nemesis system with the game’s namesake heroine befriending enemies, but that idea has since been tossed out in favor of a more traditional action-adventure game,” said Schreier. “Now, Wonder Woman’s fate remains in question, according to the people familiar with the business, because of challenges following the changes in Monolith’s leadership and issues surrounding the game’s technology.”
