The new games by Warner Bross will be part of DC Cinematic Universe
, by Thibaut
Until now, DC has remained in Marvel's shadow when it comes to creating a single, coherent and connected universe. Warner Bros. is currently tackling this daunting task, and intends to include video games in this vast project.
This was revealed by James Gunn and Peter Safran, co-heads of DC Studios, in a recent interview with ComicBook. Both say they are working closely with Jean-Briac Perrette, CEO of Warner's streaming and gaming branches.
"We work incredibly closely with JB Perrette who runs that division. It’s really the first time its ever been this way at Warner Bros. James and I sit with the guys that run the studios under JB whether it’s NetherRealm or Rocksteady. We sit with them and we talk about characters and stories that we’re interested in and that they’re interested in."
"We see designs for the projects in their very earliest stages. We talk about those, we talk about what the story might be and we’ll say ‘Well, you maybe you want to go this way because we’re planning on maybe doing something with this character'."
In any case, Gunn has claimed that the first game to be included in the DCU is still "several years" away. We also have all the rumors pointing to Rocksteady Studios working on a new Batman.
