Recently, James Gunn teased plans for future games set in the DC Universe (or DCU). Gunn’s comments come a few months after major restructuring at WB Games, which led to the cancellation of the previously announced Wonder Woman game. When asked about how DCU’s gaming initiative is looking, Gunn states that “there’s been some slight movement on different things. We have a couple of little DC games coming out.
But we also have talked about – and in early stages of planning – some bigger things. One thing in particular I’m excited about, but it does take time. There’s been some changes in Warner Bros. Games, and so we’re dealing with new people.”
LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will release in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2.
