DC: Dark Legion has been announced for 2024 by FunPlus and Warner Bros.Interactive. It looks to deliver an immersive multiplayer experience.
With the announcement that DC video games will be connected to the TV, movie universes, here's an argument on why they should be Elseworlds.
The only argument you need is the fact that being connected to the movies and TV severely limits whats possible in the games / creative freedom to do whatever with the world and story lines so long as it sticks to source material and makes sense for the characters.
Better if they are separate as it allows more creative freedom for developers. For example a Justice League would be severely hampered if it had to be linked to the movies as developers couldn't use the villains they want.
James Gunn's DCU plans need to finally give Superman a proper gaming outing. By looking at the DC Comics lore, leaving Earth is the way to go for Kal-El.
The beginning of EAs Superman Returns was a good little side story that should have been explored more. Having to compete on War World was a great game level and could be expanded on even further.
As I have said before, there's zero reason why we can't have a good Superman game. Superman 64 proved this.
I feel like Gunn is prioritizing Superman this go-around. A game would make sense. Now more than ever.
