WB Games Montreal Working on Game of Thrones Pitch – Rumor
A lot is going down at Warner Bros. Games, especially with rumors of Monolith’s Wonder Woman being rebooted. However, another studio that’s been relatively quiet is WB Games Montreal following the underwhelming Gotham Knights.
Bloomberg’s recent report offered some updates while seemingly confirming the 2022 action RPG’s original live service model. Those plans were reportedly dropped halfway through development as the studio “struggled to make progress.” Though it wanted to develop a “1.5” iteration of Gotham Knights, the higher-ups were apparently not having it and relegated the studio to assisting other projects.
WB Games Montreal would subsequently pitch other projects, includingJohn Constantine (which WB Games were noncommittal on) and the Flash (the latter not happening due to the 2023 film flopping). There have since been resignations among leadership due to “frustration with their corporate bosses,” according to sources. It’s helping with Wonder Woman, as reported last year and pitching a new title based on George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones. Whether it’s approved or not remains to be seen.
