After it has spread that Warner Bros. upcoming Wonder Woman game will be live service, the studio has come out to deny the rumour.
In a statement given to IGN, Warner Bros. has confirmed that Wonder Woman will not be a live service title.
Rumours that Wonder Woman will be live service have been spreading
A recent job listing at Monolith for the new Wonder Woman game, which was spotted by Wccftech, sparked the idea that the game would be live service as the listing specified a need for experience in “helping maintain a live software product or game”.
Similarly, a statement made by CEO David Zaslav during an earnings call earlier this month announced that the studio intends to focus more on games as a service in the future.
During the call Zaslav said: "Our focus is on transforming our biggest franchises from largely console and PC based with three-four year release schedules to include more always on gameplay through live services, multiplatform and free-to-play extensions with the goal to have more players spending more time on more platforms.
"Ultimately we want to drive engagement and monetization of longer cycles and at higher levels. We have specific capabilities. We are currently under scale and see significant opportunity to generate greater post-purchase revenue.”
Together, these two factors led many people to believe the Wonder Woman game would be live service, however Warner Bros. has not stated that this will not be the case.
Warner Bros. have denied that Wonder Woman will be live service
In response to the rumours, Warner Bros. provided a statement to IGN addressing the idea that Wonder Woman would be live service.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson said: "Wonder Woman is a single-player action-adventure game set in a dynamic open-world. This third person experience will allow players to become Diana of Themyscira and introduce an original story set in the DC Universe, while also featuring the Nemesis System. Wonder Woman is not being designed as a live service."
This is great news for those excited for the game who are bored of live service.
