It has been somewhat of a mystery as to what is currently working on. Since releasing Gotham Knights back in 2022, which received middling reviews when it launched, they’ve been quiet for over two years.
It seems there is a good reason for that. A new report suggests two of their games based on DC characters and get scrapped. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, WB Games Montreal pitched a game based on the Hellblazer John Constantine.
While the higher-ups were excited about the new project, it never really made it off the ground floor as the proposed budget and timeline approvals were not ideal for the executives.
First they pitched a game based on the comic book antihero John Constantine, who was played by Keanu Reeves in a 2005 feature film,” said Schreier. “Haddad’s team, led by vice president of production Ben Bell, initially said they were excited about the idea.
But when asked for budget and timeline approvals, they remained noncommittal, according to the people familiar with the plans.” With their initial pitch in the dumps, WB Games’ vice president of production Ben Bell suggested characters The Flash and Joker, both of which would have movies release in 2023 and 2024 respectively.
