Games are sometimes so discreet that we forget they were announced. This is the case with this title from Monolith Productions, unveiled in December 2021 but since disappeared from the radar. However, an online survey has just put this superhero game back on the map.

After Lord of the Rings, head to DC Comics!
In December 2021, Monolith Productionsnot to be confused with Monolith Soft (Xenoblade), announced its next project. After Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and then Shadow of War, two games inspired by The Lord of the Rings, the studio got back to work, obviously keeping in a corner of its mind its famous Nemesis system.
Now, Monolith is working on a superhero game, since the team has been working on a Wonder Woman title for almost three years. No release date was announced at the time, but we have since known that it will be a game open-world single-player action game with an original story where players will take on the role of Diana in a “fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans of the modern world.”
Forming a trio with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Gotham Knights, Wonder Woman will have the heavy task of raising the bar, the two previous titles having not not very well received by critics and playersat least not at the level of what we could expect from Warner Bros. Montreal and Rocksteady. This contextualization being over, let's get to the news! Just a few days ago, several Reddit and ResetEra users published new information about the game, apparently from an online survey conducted by Warner Bros.
Nemesis System, Gameplay, Story… Wonder Woman Comes Out of the Woods, Unofficially
Several images were also published on X.com, but the rights holder quickly had them removed. As for information directly related to the game, we find quite a few things that are quite interesting if we find them in-game. First of all, the Némesis system seems to be confirmed, featuring many DC characters, whether allies or enemies. In previous titles, the system started from a random hierarchy between enemies, and your actions led to the promotion or degradation of their status. Lose against an enemy, he will become captain or lieutenant. By defeating them without killing them, they become stronger and vengeful. The idea worked very well and gave a certain aura to the Lord of the Rings games.
At the same time, we will be able to “fly across the world of Themyscira” and face Circe, who took power with an army of gorgons, cyclops and other creatures. We are also promised fast and free clashes, during which we will use several weapons including the legendary Lasso of Truth. To vary the pleasures, the confrontations should take various forms and call upon the diadem, the bow, the bracelets and the aerial attacks.
Probably reserved for current consoles and PCWonder Woman should present an original story, in which Diana will have to reconnect with the Amazons and with her mother, while fighting Cheetah and Medusa. The presence of a space-age city is mentioned, but things seem less clear on that side. In any case, and if all this seems perfectly coherent, it is important to note that the studio has not yet made anything official and that things can change. The information relayed from this survey seems entirely legitimate but remains linked to a specific moment. For the moment, no release date has been mentioned.
