Possible AAA Live-Service game!

The gamers and fans are kind of surprised after hearing that WB Games Montreal might be working on the next AAA Live-Service game based on DC Comics.

This is due to the epic failure of Suicide Squad, which made them a huge loss. Despite that, a new job posting suggests something else. Let’s find out more details in this article.

WB Games Montréal is making a AAA live-service game based on an iconic DC property, per a job listing mentioning post-launch monetization and ongoing content. Built on Unreal Engine 5 for console & PC – likely not Batman.🔗 https://t.co/OSd0kI1hza | https://t.co/8rnVyaWRfl pic.twitter.com/MzUftvIwWN

Details about the next live-service game

Tech4Gamers recently noticed that a job listing for an executive producer reveals the game’s focus:

“lead the development of a high-quality AAA game based on one of the iconic IPs from the vast Warner Bros. and DC Comics catalog.”

Where is the live service angle? Here:

“overseeing post-launch content and live service strategy, ensuring ongoing player engagement.”

There were many speculations about a game similar to Marvel Rivals; however, this one suggests that it’s a AAA game with a live service online multiplayer feature.

Fans reaction

What can you expect? 90% of gamers and fans are pretty shocked to see that WB Games still wants to do a AAA live service game after the massive failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Even the Gotham Knights was a huge flop.

It’s like they just want to spend money without having any 2nd thoughts. Most of the fans’ comments are: “They haven’t learned anything from the failure.” “Another flop incoming.”

Meanwhile, most of the fans are disappointed and wonder why they can’t deliver a good story-driven game based on Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, etc.

Here’s what X user HamBone2k5 has to say:

Wow another live service game? Can we please just get a good story game that isn’t fu**ing Batman? Do the green lanterns. Imagine all of the different planets and types of life and opportunities that would give. Dig deep y’all. No more live service.
