Summary
After redefining the superhero video game genre back in 2009 withBatman: Arkham Asylum,DCwas on top of the world, at least for a little while. Thanks to the rest of theArkhamseries, theBatmanTelltale games, NetherRealm’sInjustice,DC Universe Online, andtheLEGO Batmangames, DC’s video game division always had something to offer, even when its cinematic department was dropping the ball. But for the last few years, DC’s video game output hasn’t been all that great.
The 2020s have been pretty barren for DC video games. The last three years have mostly consisted of mobile games and titles based on kid’s shows likeDC Super Hero Girlsand movies likeDC League of Super-Pets. The only big AAA DC video game release of the 2020s so far waslast year’sGotham Knights, a disappointing co-op adventure that had no shortage of issues. But the 2020s are far from over, and 2024 has the potential to really turn things around for DC video games.
Rocksteady’sSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas had a rocky few years. Announced all the way back in August 2020, many fans were initially disappointed that Rocksteady wasn’t working on another Batman game, or along-rumored Superman game, but many came back around thanks toSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s intriguing first few trailers. But once fans finally got to see an extended look at gameplay earlier this year, the reception around the game changed in a heartbeat, causing Warner Bros. and Rocksteady to delay the game by almost an entire year.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis set to release in just a few months, on July 04, 2025, and the reception around the game is still shaky. Though Rocksteady is doing its best to remain transparent and show more of whatSuicide Squadhas to offer, the recent wave of leaks surrounding the game’s story hasn’t helped at all. But even in spite of the gameplay trailers, the alpha tests, and now these damaging leaks,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguestill has the potential to be one ofthe best DC games ever made, it just all needs to come together in the end.
The Wolf Among Us 2 Is Finally Set to Release in 2024
A sequel a decade in the making,The Wolf Among Us 2is finally set to launch sometime in 2024.

Based on theFablescomic series,The Wolf Among Us 2will see players dive even deeper into the neon-soaked, detective noir rabbit hole where the lines between fantastical and real are continuously blurred. Being published by Telltale Games and developed by AdHoc Studio, a team full ofex-Telltale devs,The Wolf Among Us 2is sure to be a sequel that was well worth the wait.

Fans Might See More From Monolith’s Wonder Woman in 2024
First announced at the 2022 Game Awards, Monolith Productions’Wonder Womangame has remained radio silent ever since. While it seems fairly unlikely at this point thatWonder Womanwill release in 2024, it does seem probable that fans will get to see more about the game this year, likely during the swathe of June showcases, or all the way at the end of the year during the 2024 Game Awards.
