WB Discovery CEO implies Superman game could accompany new movie WB AnimationIn a quarterly earnings call, WB Discovery\u2019s CEO, David Zaslav, implied that a Superman game could launch around the time of the new movie\u2019s release. Dozens of Superman or Superman-featured games have launched in the last forty years and change. Barring a select few, none have proven all too memorable. Fans may long for a new interactive adventure starring the Man of Steel, but such conversations often become riddled with questions about how a developer could create a challenging experience with one of fiction\u2019s most powerful characters sitting front and center. It doesn\u2019t seem an impossible feat, given the Boy Scout\u2019s weakness to the likes of Kryptonite and magic. But his diverse arsenal of abilities must be delicately implemented, as well. It seems that at least one WB executive believes the company will soon find a studio up to the challenge. WB Discovery boss seems to tease future Superman game During a first-quarter earnings call (via TweakTown), WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav briefly made mention of Superman when discussing the company\u2019s gaming vertical. Zaslav specifically noted that WB owns all of its IP in addition to several different game studios, then praised Hogwarts Legacy for providing a unique experience wherein players can actually exist in the world of Harry Potter. Interestingly, Superman enters the conversation in the following quote: \u201cWhen we launch a product on Max or HBO, and when we have a game, that game belongs to us, but now there\u2019s this in-betweener. It may be in the next couple of years that we launch a Superman movie and\u2026people spend more time and there\u2019s more economics of people just hanging out in the Superman world and universe.\u201d This could imply that Zaslav expects a Superman game to arrive following the release of James Gunn\u2019s eagerly-anticipated film, Superman: Legacy. A little later in the call, the executive adds: \u201c\u2026given the amount of time that people spend on gaming, we don\u2019t want to be in the motion picture and long-form storytelling business and have somebody else in the business of hanging out in those worlds. Those worlds are going to be quite profitable in the years ahead.\u201d Of course, this serves as no guarantee that players can expect to be flying their way across an interactive Metropolis anytime soon. But it shows that someone high up is at least thinking of Superman\u2019s future in the gaming space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
