Wonder Woman Game Might Be Stuck in the Phantom Zone—If It Ever Releases at All

Fans of DC’s Amazonian Warrior may need to tap into Wonder Woman levels of patience because it looks like Monolith’s Wonder Woman game is still years away—if it even happens at all.

In a not-so-shocking but still disappointing twist, a new report suggests that the open-world action-adventure game starring Diana of Themyscira has been stuck in development limbo since its announcement in 2021. And if the behind-the-scenes chaos at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is anything to go by, we might be waiting a long, long time before we ever see the Princess of Themyscira in action.

For those wondering if Wonder Woman will ever get her well-deserved solo game, here’s everything you need to know—including the messy details about what’s holding it back.

A Superhero Game Caught in a Supervillain-Level Crisis

According to a Bloomberg report by Jason Schreier, Monolith’s Wonder Woman project has struggled to coalesce over the last few years, burning through $100 million and still being “years away from release.”

The studio initially wanted to explore procedural storytelling, likely similar to the Nemesis system from their Middle-earth games. However, Warner Bros. higher-ups reportedly pushed the team toward making a game based on one of their bigger IPs. So instead of an original fantasy game, Monolith was handed Wonder Woman—which sounds like a dream on paper but has been far from smooth sailing in reality.

The Development Struggles – What Went Wrong?

Constant leadership shake-ups, a game reboot, and a lack of direction seem to be at the heart of Wonder Woman’s development problems. Here’s what’s happening:

1️⃣ The game was announced in 2021, but by early 2023, it had been completely rebooted.

2️⃣ The original plan was to incorporate a version of Shadow of Mordor’s Nemesis system, but that was later scrapped for a more traditional action-adventure approach.

3️⃣ Directors have come and gone, including Monolith’s former studio head Kevin Stephens, which further stalled progress.

4️⃣ Warner Bros. Montreal, the team behind Gotham Knights, has been brought in to help, but it’s unclear how much that will impact the game’s development timeline.

All of this paints a frustrating picture—especially for fans desperate for a great Wonder Woman game.

A Pattern of Warner Bros. Gaming Disasters

If you’ve been following Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, you’ll know that Wonder Woman’s struggles are not an isolated case.

Under outgoing president David Haddad, Warner Bros. Interactive has racked up a streak of flops and cancellations.

🚨 Gotham Knights? Underwhelming.

🚨 Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? A live-service disaster.

🚨 MultiVersus? A failed attempt at a Smash Bros. competitor.

🚨 Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions? Let’s not even go there.

It’s clear that WB’s gaming division has been plagued by bad management, rushed projects, and constantly shifting priorities. If anything, the fact that Wonder Woman is still in development at all might be considered a miracle at this point.

The Montreal Shuffle – A Scrapped Flash Game and a New Game of Thrones Title?

Another interesting detail in Bloomberg’s report is that Warner Bros. Montreal—the team now helping on Wonder Woman—was actually working on a Flash game before it got cancelled.

Originally, the studio wanted to make a John Constantine game, but Warner Bros. execs pushed them toward a bigger-name superhero. So they went with The Flash—only for the project to be scrapped after 2023’s Flash movie bombed at the box office.

With Flash axed and most of the studio’s leadership gone, Warner Bros. Montreal is now apparently pitching a Game of Thrones game—because sure, why not?

If anything, this just shows that WB Games has been all over the place, which makes it easy to understand why Wonder Woman’s development has been so chaotic.

What’s Next for Wonder Woman?

For now, it looks like Monolith and WB Montreal will keep working on the game, but with no clear timeline in sight, fans shouldn’t expect any major updates soon.

If Rocksteady is already shifting back to Batman (after Suicide Squad’s disastrous launch), could Warner Bros. scrap Wonder Woman entirely and pivot back to Gotham?

With so many leadership changes and a history of scrapped projects, nothing feels guaranteed—except that waiting for this game is going to take a while.
