James Gunn says when DC Studios games will be released

DC fans will have to be patient, but games in the DC Studios universe will be coming.

Co-chairman of DC Studios James Gunn stated that the development of games in the DC universe is only at the early stages and we will be able to see them in a couple of years». While the new game is still in the distant future — crossovers with Fortnite have become a reality.

Negotiations are currently underway to integrate DC superheroes into Fortnite. For this purpose, James Gunn approves concepts and designs of DC characters. Perhaps the tactic will become part of a large-scale marketing campaign before the release of the first DCU movie — «Superman» in July 2025.

It was also announced that all future DC game projects will be coordinated through DC Studios. The creators want to ensure the interconnection between movies, TV shows, and games. The studio is already cooperating with developers Mortal Kombat (NetherRealm) і by the creators of the Arkham (Rocksteady) series, to create stories that fit the new look of the DC Universe.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Games is going through a difficult time The failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and weak start of MultiVersus cost the company hundreds of millions of dollars. Some studios experienced staff reductions. Failures forced the corporation to change priorities. Games will receive active funding and development: Hogwarts LegacyMortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC games, especially Batman. According to rumors, the company may return to a solo project about the Dark Knight (which still won’t be released for a long time).

It seems that previous failures forced Warner Bros. Discovery to change its approach to business. The studio seeks to reduce risks and release only proven franchises. The company decided to add Fortnite has more Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar.
