Wonder Woman: everything we know so far

By Jesse Lennox Updated February 7, 2025

For decades, Superman and Batman have dominated the DC video game universe with some of the best superhero games ever made. Now, it looks like it is Wonder Woman’s time to step into the spotlight in her first major upcoming video game. Coming from Monolith Productions, the team who made Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, this project has a ton of potential. But, much like Elder Scrolls 6 and Persona 6, we still have a long time to wait before it comes out. We’ve used the lasso of truth to extract all the information we could about Wonder Woman to share with you here.

While you wait for Wonder Woman to come out, check out all the upcoming PS5 games, upcoming Xbox Series X games, upcoming PC games, and upcoming Switch games for 2025 and beyond!

Wonder Woman does not have a scheduled release date at this time and hasn’t made any appearances or announcements since 2021. Thanks to a report from Bloomberg in early 2025, we learned that this silence hinted a major issues behind the scenes. According to the report, development on Wonder Woman was struggling to find a focus and in early 2024 the entire game was rebooted and given a new director. WB has already invested over $100 million into the game and “is still years away from release, if it ever makes it to market.”

Hopefully Wonder Woman does end up seeing the light of day eventually, but at this point, it likely won’t be until 2027 at the earliest given it restarted production in early 2024.

Wonder Woman will presumably be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC when it inevitably comes out. However, there is a chance it ends up being available on the upcoming generation of consoles given the timeline.

All players have to go off is the teaser trailer that debuted at the 2021 Game Wards. This is little more than a tease and there isn’t much to say other than we know Wonder Woman and her lasso will be featured.

Wonder Woman is a single-player, third-person, open-world, action-adventure game. Players control Diana as she “fights to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world.” Developers say they’re telling an original Wonder Woman story. Fans of the Gal Gadot films or Wonder Woman comics may be in for a treat.

The biggest news to come out of the Wonder Woman announcement is Monolith’s involvement with the production. Monolith is the studio responsible for Middle Earth Shadow: of Mordor and Shadow of War. More importantly, it invented the Nemesis system, which put the Middle Earth games on the map.

Warner Bros. bought Monolith in 2004, long before the Nemesis system ever debuted. After Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War’s success, Warner Bros. finally secured a patent for the Nemesis system in February 2021, thus barring other developers from using it without proper licensing. The process took a grueling five years of submitting and resubmitting before the patent was officially secured.

The Nemesis system features procedurally generated NPCs that work and exist in a hierarchy. They’ll interact with the player and one another while remembering the player’s actions each time they encounter the player. The player’s decisions can alter their appearance and behavior, and their position in the hierarchy can change in relation to other NPCs. This same concept also applies to friendly NPCs, something DC wanted players to know via their YouTube description under the teaser trailer: “Powered by the Nemesis System, gamers will forge deep connections with both enemies and allies as they progress from a heroic fighter into a proven leader.”

Wonder Woman has no release date right now and likely won’t for another couple of years. You’re better off forgetting about preordering the game for a while until it is re-revealed and we know for sure that it will even come to market.
