Wonder Woman is Going to be Live Service

After it was first revealed back in 2021's The Game Awards, people have been dying to know more about the upcoming Wonder Woman game, and it would seem we may finally have some details about the superhero title. If a recently signed job listing for Warner Bros. and the game's developer, Monolith Productions, is to be believed, it looks like Wonder Woman is most likely going to be a live-service title.

As mentioned earlier, the game was first announced two years ago. We weren't given that many details, but from what the developer has previously said about the game, Wonder Woman will be an Open-World action title. The game will also be single-player, as we will be playing the titular heroine, Wonder Woman.

However, Monolith Productions seems to have left something out, and that was that the title would be a live-service game; this was first spotted by Wccfetch via a recent advert that stated that the studio and publisher were seeking a "Lead Software Engineer Gameplay" for an upcoming title. This job listing seems to imply that Warner Bros. is looking to implement live-service elements into the game.

The job listing then goes into further detail, stating that they are looking for someone to "deliver a superhero experience as epic as Wonder Woman herself" and then lists various daily duties associated with a job, alongside a list of necessary experiences required for the job. However, there is also a part of the listing that lists "nice to haves", wherein the developer indicates that the person might need "experience helping maintain a live software product or game," which may prove to be beneficial for the project.

This may surprise players who assumed that because the game is a single-player experience, it wouldn't have any live service elements. However, this isn't that surprising, considering that Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslavsays recently announced that the company would focus on turning many of its biggest franchises into live-service titles.

While this most certainly will prove to be quite lucrative for the company, it may not be the best approach as the announcement of Rock Steady's Suicide Squad: Kills the Justice League being a live service title was met with disdain and criticism from many fans since February. Only time will tell if Wonder Woman will be a live service title that will somehow be kept afloat, but considering the pattern of other titles, it may be very unlikely.
