Wonder Woman game hints at live service features – GameTopic
Hey there, fellow gamers! Gather round and listen up, because we’ve got some exciting news about the highly anticipated Wonder Woman game. It seems like Monolith Productions, the talented folks behind Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, might be sneaking in some live service elements into our superhero adventure!
Now, before you rage-flip your Batmobile, let’s dive into the juicy details. According to a recent job listing spotted by the folks at Wccftech, Monolith is on the lookout for a lead software engineer of gameplay, specifically someone with experience in “helping maintain a live software product or game.” Hold your horses, that doesn’t automatically mean Wonder Woman is becoming the next Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone 2, but it does raise some eyebrows (and Wonder Woman’s lasso!) about what Monolith has up their sleeves.
For the uninitiated, live service games are those puppies that keep on wagging their tails long after launch. They’re like the Energizer bunnies of the gaming world, constantly getting seasonal expansions and offering up microtransactions for flashy cosmetics and badass weapons. Picture Fortnite doing the floss dance while sipping an orange juice in slow motion—that’s the vibe we’re talking about!
But hang on just a minute! Wasn’t Wonder Woman supposed to be a single player, open-world action game with a kickass original story? You’re absolutely right, my gaming compadre! Monolith and publisher Warner Bros. Games never mentioned anything about live service elements before. So, what gives?
Well, hold onto your power bracelets, because we’ve got more news to drop! Just a little while ago, Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav made some interesting comments about their plans to transform their biggest franchises. He said they want to go from the old school “console and PC with three-four year release schedules” to the more modern “always-on gameplay through live services, multiplatform, and free-to-play extensions.” Fancy talk, right?

And here’s where Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League comes into play (pun absolutely intended). Warner Bros. Games spilled the beans earlier this year that Suicide Squad won’t just be your run-of-the-mill story-based game. Oh no, my friend. It’s a four-player co-op live-service extravaganza that requires a permanent online connection. The Justice League better watch their backs, because this game is taking the multiplayer world by storm!
But let’s not jump to conclusions faster than The Flash on caffeine pills. This job listing from Monolith is far from a confirmation that Wonder Woman will follow in Suicide Squad’s footsteps. We’ve reached out to Warner Bros. Games for a comment, so keep your bat ears perked up for any updates on this matter.
For now, let’s take a step back and appreciate the fact that we’re getting a Wonder Woman game, folks! Let that sink in. We’re going to be able to kick some serious butt as the iconic Amazonian warrior, uniting her family from Themyscira with us mere mortals. It’s a battle between the gods and the humans, and we get a front-row seat to all the action!
So, grab your controller, suit up in your best Diana Prince cosplay, and get ready for an adventure like no other. Wonder Woman is coming, my friends, and she’s bringing a whole new level of gaming goodness to your screens.
Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, keep on gaming!
