Highlights
- The Game Awards has become known for exciting reveals and announcements from upcoming games, making fans eager to tune in for surprises.
- While Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is unlikely to have a significant presence at The Game Awards, Monolith's Wonder Woman has a high chance of appearing.
- The fact that Wonder Woman was announced at a previous Game Awards event increases the likelihood of its reappearing this year, potentially with a story or gameplay trailer.
Geoff Keighley’s Game Awards celebration is fast approaching with nearly three weeks until it airs, and while it’s intended to honor the games industry as a whole for its achievements, it’s largely become a venue for exciting reveals and announcements from upcoming games. At least, that’s arguably why many fans tune in, and indeed it’s a huge part of the event. Understanding Keighley’s biases may or may not determine that a Death Stranding 2 trailer or Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree reveal could be imminent, but it’s anyone’s guess what might actually show up as a big surprise at The Game Awards.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League recently announced a series of webisodes dedicated to sharing details about the game, with its first episode releasing this Wednesday to discuss story and gameplay details. Therefore, while it’s not an impossibility, there’s a high unlikelihood that Suicide Squad will have any significant presence at The Game Awards in early December. That said, one DC game that has only received a brief teaser announcement thus far has an incredibly high likelihood of appearing, and that’s Monolith’s Wonder Woman.
Monolith’s Wonder Woman Could Return to The Game Awards This Year
Wonder Woman’s Game Awards Announcement Should Be Followed Up on
Because Wonder Woman was announced during a Game Awards, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that it shows up at another. If this was the case, then its announcement could finally be expanded on with as much as a story trailer, if not an actual gameplay trailer.
To be fair, Wonder Woman dodged The Game Awards 2022 after being announced at the 2021 Game Awards, so there’s no patternable theory to rely on for Monolith to share more this year.
Still, the fact that it was announced at a Game Awards is all the evidence one needs to predict a decent chance of it reappearing at the same event. Plus, since it’s been a couple of years now, the chances increase with how much development time it has had. DC games currently don’t have a lot of momentum going into 2024 besides Rocksteady’s live-service Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but Wonder Woman could serve to alter that trajectory with an uncontested single-player presence for DC games in 2024.
It’s true that WB Games has recently expressed an interest in focusing on live-service games, but unless Monolith gets truly creative with how it depicts its Themysciran princess it seems safe to assume that it’ll be a single-player experience exclusively. That would be a huge boon for DC moving forward and hopefully help ease the pressure of Suicide Squad in the meantime, even if the two games aren’t related aside from their DC banner.
Perhaps the most salient reason why Wonder Woman may be primed for a reveal is because of the still-unexplained piece of alleged concept art that a Monolith developer seems to have as their LinkedIn banner. It’s not expected that Wonder Woman will be released any time soon, but marketing could finally begin for the game in the coming months if this subtle concept art leak was indeed a subliminal tease all along.
An easy guess for what could be a Game Awards-concluding show-stopper is Elden Ring’s Shadow of the Erdtree expansion being revealed. Nonetheless, a Wonder Woman reveal would be fascinating for DC fans who are eager to see how the superhero slate will take shape in the foreseeable future.
Monolith’s Wonder Woman is in development.
