As in style as superhero video games have all the time been, Superman sport has been this elusive factor for years.
That’s not stopping WB Discovery from attempting, it will appear, as chief government officer David Zaslav hinted {that a} new Superman sport might be on the horizon.
In an earnings name Zaslav spoke on the surprising success of Hogwarts Legacy, and the way shoppers in the present day wish to spend extra time within the fictional worlds they love.
He spoke additional as to how WB has an unbelievable alternative with the IP it owns to maintain creating extra methods for shoppers to get misplaced in these worlds, particularly mentioning Superman, and its new coming movie.
“We could be the solely media firm that owns – whether or not or not it’s the DC Universe, Harry Potter, all of the content material that we personal, Sport Of Thrones – that’s for us to deploy. I believe that’s a very fascinating technique.
If you happen to have a look at Hogwarts Legacy, an enormous piece of the success of that sport is that you simply go into it. If you happen to’re a participant, you go into that sport and also you’re in that world. That’s sort of a brand new idea. Earlier than it was gaming and it was storytelling, and now…it’s very obscure what the definition of the metaverse is…
After we launch a product on Max or HBO, and when now we have a sport, that sport belongs to us, however now there’s this in-betweener. It might be within the subsequent couple of years that we launch a Superman film and…folks spend extra time and there’s extra economics of individuals simply hanging out within the Superman world and universe.
The truth that we personal all of that’s one thing that I believe goes to be actually necessary as we glance ahead–as know-how develops, and given the period of time that individuals spend on gaming, we don’t wish to be within the movement image and longform storytelling enterprise and have anyone else within the enterprise of hanging out in these worlds. These worlds are going to be fairly worthwhile within the years forward.”
That is in now approach an actual affirmation {that a} Superman sport is coming, but it surely’s clear that its crossed the minds of WB’s high executives.
Hopefully we’ll lastly get to see a extremely nice Superman sport sometime quickly.
