UPDATE: James Gunn has commented on this rumor saying, "Sadly there is no truth to this whatsoever."
According to a new report, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is working on a new game set in Matt Reeves' The Batman universe.
In a lengthy article about the state of Warner Bros. Discovery, Matt Belloni of Puck mentioned that a game set in Matt Reeves' Batman Epic Crime Saga is in development.
The new information was completely devoid of details and was nestled in a commentary on the potential future of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.
Back in 2020, AT&T tried to sell the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment video games unit for a cool $4 billion. But months later it was deemed “too valuable to unload.” Then, when Zaslav took over, many advised him to offload games. But Zaz still sees the games unit as strategic, especially as the various WBD divisions are beginning to collaborate more closely on properties like the upcoming Penguin HBO show and game, both seeded in the 2022 The Batman movie.
Belloni has a long track record of working in the entertainment industry including multiple years at The Hollywood Reporter before departing to be part of the founding team at Puck. His connections in the various studios are legitimate, but with no other information, we have no idea if this game is just on the drawing board or further down the line.
When, or if, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment makes an announcement about this game, we'll let you know.
