WB Games Montreal has historically resided within the shadow of Rocksteady Games – especially as both studios have worked primarily on DC properties in the past. In the wake of Gotham Knights’ less-than-stellar reception, it seems as though many of WB Montreal’s upper-level developers have left the studio. As collated …

MultiVersus launched last year and was a surprise hit for a little while. However, after selling a bunch of DLC and even hosting a couple of post-launch seasonal content updates, MultiVersus is now going offline until 2024.  Back in March, the development team confused us all by announcing plans to …

Back in February just two weeks after the game's launch, WB announced that the game had sold 12 million copies so far. Now, just as the game is launching for Xbox One and PS4, the game has surpassed 15 million copies sold to date.  Hogwarts Legacy is WB's “biggest launch …

For months, we've been hearing rumours about Mortal Kombat 12. Now, it looks like the game could be due for a reveal soon, as the series' 30th-anniversary celebrations have begun.  The 30th Anniversary video shared on the Mortal Kombat Twitter account has a brief clip towards the end, showing a …

Mortal Kombat is one of the biggest names in fighting games, with the 30-year old franchise continuing to be stronger than ever decades on from its initial release. Ahead of the expected official announcement of Mortal Kombat 12, it has been revealed that the most recent entry – MK11 – …

While Hogwarts Legacy was widely expected to sell well based on the strength of the Harry Potter IP, there was some concern due to a string of controversies involving JK Rowling, the author behind Harry Potter. The game ended up selling 12 million copies in its first two weeks, and …

Shortly after the poorly received gameplay reveal for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, we heard rumours that the game was due to be delayed. Now, just six weeks ahead of the game's planned release date, Rocksteady has officially confirmed that the game has been pushed back.  While it was …

While many of us assumed we'd see Injustice 3 after Mortal Kombat 11, rumours in recent months have pointed to Mortal Kombat 12 instead. Now, one prominent fighting game tournament competitor has hinted that we'll see a Mortal Kombat 12 announcement as early as this week.  SonicFox is well-known in …

Last month, WB shocked MultiVersus players by announcing that the ‘beta' period for the game was ending after several months of patches, seasonal content updates and DLC character drops. With the beta ending, the game is going offline until 2024. To coincide with this, the game has now been pulled …

WarnerBros' platform-fighter MultiVersus has been available for months at this point, attracting millions of players, a chunk of whom have purchased DLC content and season passes. Now, seemingly out of nowhere, WB has announced that the ‘open beta' is ending and the game will be going offline until sometime next …

It has only been a couple of weeks since Rocksteady's gameplay reveal for Suicide Squad. That reveal drew plenty of criticism and now, it looks like Rocksteady is going to delay the game to later in the year.  While Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was supposed to release on …

While Destiny managed to find success and usher in the age of 'live service' games, many other publishers have tried and failed to replicate that formula. While it seemed that Marvel's Avengers might have had a good shot, content exclusivity controversies, a lacking end-game and an empty post-launch roadmap meant that the game never found its feet. Now, I fear that Rocksteady is heading in the same direction with Suicide Squad.

Last year, Embracer Group acquired Middle-Earth Enterprises and along with it, the rights to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and other works. With the rights changing hands, many have wondered what this means for the future of LOTR in film. As it turns out, not much will be …

It is no secret that Hogwarts Legacy had a hugely successful launch, one quick look at peak concurrent player counts and deluxe edition pre-orders confirms that. However, we didn't have any specific sales figures. That changed last night, with Warner Bros confirming that 12 million copies have been sold so …

As part of Sony’s recent State of Play, fans were given an in-depth look at the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – a co-op action-adventure open-world game. While the title can be fully played solo – with the co-op nature merely being additive to the experience – it has …

NetherRealm Studios is one of Warner Bros. premiere video game developers, known best for their work on the Mortal Kombat and Injustice fighting game franchises. Following the launch of MK11 in 2019, NetherRealm has been slowly teasing the team’s next game. In a surprise move however, Warner Bros. themselves – …

Hogwarts Legacy has had a highly successful launch, with the game already shipping millions of copies across all platforms. If you've finished the game already and have been hoping for new content, you may have to wait a while longer, as Avalanche apparently has ‘no plans' for DLC at this …

TT Games have long been the go-to studio for the many LEGO video game adaptations released over the years, and this seems to not be changing anytime soon. That said, while the studio was reportedly working on a big Disney-focused title, the project has since been shelved, with TT Games …

Gotham Knights launched in late October to middling reviews from critics and fans alike. That being said, the team behind the game – WB Games Montreal – seems to already be hard at work on their next title. Previously, VGC reported that WB Games Montreal had begun working on their …

Gotham Knights has always been pitched as a co-op-focused adventure – the game even features four distinct main characters for players to switch between. For reasons unknown, the game does not actually include 4-player co-op despite this character setup, but a new multiplayer mode will be coming post-launch to change …

One of the core advantages to owning a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S has been the fact that games which release on these new-gen systems typically offer multiple graphics options – allowing you to play at 30fps, 60fps and even beyond, depending on the game. Unfortunately, WB have now …

WB has been a little cagey on the release date for Hogwarts Legacy, sticking to a ‘holiday 2022' release window. Typically when a release date isn't set this late, it means there is a delay. With that in mind, it shouldn't be too surprising to learn that WB's upcoming Wizarding …

MultiVersus has had a great reception since launching its open beta earlier this summer. The game's first season was unfortunately delayed ‘indefinitely' at the start of the month, but the developers have quickly been able to polish things up for launch, which will now be happening next week.  In an …

MultiVersus has had a great reception since launching its open beta earlier this summer. The game's first season of content has unfortunately been delayed to later in the month, but the upside is that now it will pack more content, including new modes.  WB has given us a sneak peek …

MultiVersus has been a pretty big success so far, with early players enjoying the game in its on-going open beta. The game was due to officially leave beta and roll out its first season next week, but unfortunately some last minute issues have forced a delay. Today, the MultiVersus Twitter …

We're over six months on from Microsoft announcing plans to acquire Activision Blizzard, kicking off the lengthy process of gaining approvals from anti-trust organisations across the world. Most of the time, these investigations are highly secretive, but we do know that they involve seeking opinions from competing companies across the industry. Now thanks to recent filings in Brazil, documents containing these opinions have been posted online, giving us insight into what the likes of Sony, Ubisoft, WB and others think of the deal. 

MultiVersus is an upcoming free-to-play, platform fighter which takes many of WB’s biggest IPs and characters and pits them against one another in a similar vein to Nintendo’s highly successful Super Smash Bros. series. Following a lengthy marketing period and a closed alpha, MultiVersus is finally almost here, with an …

WB's co-op spin on the Arkham formula is on the way this year, with Gotham Knights set to release in October. Up to this point, the developers have only confirmed 2-player co-op gameplay, but it seems that the developers may have increased this to up to 4-player co-op. On top …

Last year we reported that Warner Bros was looking to sell its games division. This never came to be, with the publisher later choosing to remain within the industry. It seems the latest round of acquisitions has sparked WB’s interest once again, as the publisher is reportedly looking to sell …

With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate finally concluded, many fans are looking for a new crossover-focused fighting game to fill the void. One game that is trying is WB’s MultiVersus. Planned to release some time this year, the game’s roster is slowly being revealed. In 2021 we saw Nickelodeon release their …
