Summary
TheWonder Womangame could be a major release, and DC may be wise to keep it under wraps until the right time. WithWonder Womanbeing one of DC’s biggest properties, it would be wise to treat the game with the respect that it deserves. While it’s almost definitely a long way from its release, that wait could work to its benefit, at least until the time for it to have a proper debut. The topic is still largely speculative, at least for the moment. However, there should still be some questions for fans to think about.
With thedelayed release ofSuicide Squad: KTJLslowly approaching, DC is in the midst of a busy schedule. In addition toKill the Justice League, there is an upcoming anime based onSuicide Squad, as well as second seasons of Adult Swim’sMy Adventures With Supermanand Max’sPeacemakerin the works. DC has been building a lot of positive momentum, helping it catch up to Marvel after having spent the past few years trailing its rival outside of comic books. While that doesn’t guarantee that DC’s next games will be a success, it will do plenty to raise their profiles.
Monolith’s Wonder Woman Needs to Announce Itself at the Right Time
It was revealed in arecent update regarding theWonder Womangamethat it will be a single-player title, contrasting with other recent DC games.Gotham Knightswas a co-op game, as willSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The fact that the game is planned to be open-world could also remind fans of theBatman Arkhamseries, which similarly lets players roam freely. This could helpWonder Womanbreak through, especially after the success thatMarvel’s Spider-Man 2saw this year, showing that there is still a desire for single-player superhero adventures in the market.
Wonder Woman’s lack of a previous solo game is odd considering that she was created only two years after Batman, who has had a thriving career with theArkhamseries.
WhileWonder Womanis currently taking a backseat to theshooting action ofSuicide Squad: KTJL, that could work to its benefit. After all,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewas supposed to come out this year before being delayed, so there’s a natural reason for fans to be invested. Not to mention, by focusing more onSuicide Squadin the lead-up to its release, DC can do more to keep fans ready to be excited about the upcoming game. FollowingKill the Justice League’s release would be an ideal time to drop new information aboutWonder Woman, prepping fans for the next big DC title.
Another detail to keep in mind is thatWonder Woman will be inSuicide Squad: KTJL. Not only that, but from appearances, she will be the only Justice League member not under Brainiac’s control. WhileWonder WomanandSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill not share continuity, her presence in the latter will help to keep her in mind in preparation for her self-titled game. Of course, being one of DC’s most famous heroes, she probably doesn’t need help staying relevant. Even so, her presence inKill the Justice Leaguefollowed by a big announcement for her own game could be a strong one-two punch.

A wise approach to advertising the game could provide abig advantage for Monolith’sWonder Woman, so the lead-up to the game will be crucial. By pushing out more information about the game in the wake ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s release, there will not only be less competition for attention, but hopefully renewed interest in the brand. This approach would somewhat rely onSuicide Squad’s own performance, but holding back on an announcement forWonder Womanuntil after its release could maximize its impact.
