at the time." We spoke to Sigfield to clarify this, as the Arkham games are based on the Unreal Engine 3, and he replied that it's a "heavily modified version of UE3" - although WB is now using UE4 instead.Īpparently the reported cancelled Suicide Squad game by WB Montreal - which was heavily teased by the end of the studio's last game Batman Arkham Origins - was also supposed to be based around this engine too, but the studio couldn't get that to work either. Getting Superman’s flight to work in that frame would’ve been near impossible.
Superman Unbound: The Game was cancelled, according to Sigfield, because Warner Bros had "mandated that every (DC) game to use the Arkham engine.

The game was supposed to be less “open world” so as to limit Superman’s vast array of abilities.
As Sigfield clarified elsewhere, this was supposed to be a Superman version of Batman Arkham Asylum, where the first game was set in a single location rather than an expensive open-world - although it would've had "space segments above Earth where you would fight against Brainiac's ship" too.
SUPERMAN GAME BATMAN GAME MOVIE
Like the movie and the later game Injustice 2, it would deal with Superman facing the world-collecting villain Brainiac - however, it would be a more limited open-world as it would be set entirely in the captured and 'bottled' Kryptonian city of Kandor. qjlmoBpeg7- James Sigfield November 10, 2019Īnother game pitched was titled Superman Unbound, possibly connected with the animated movie of the same name - which released alongside Man of Steel on home video.
SUPERMAN GAME BATMAN GAME PS4
Sigfield posted a thread with all his knowledge on the Superman game, and while he admits he's not sure if a game is currently in development, he reports "Warner Bros has been actively trying to develop an open world Superman game since 2013".Īccording to Sigfield, in 2013, around the time that Man of Steel was a success in cinemas, "WB started actively taking pitches from many producers, directors and the like within the gaming industry to create their own Superman game." An open-world Superman game in the vein of Spider-Man PS4 was pitched, featuring "a massive Metropolis and feature various villains from the DC pantheon".
All this information was posted by notorious leaker and writer James Sigfield on Twitter, who was also involved with the Arkham Legacy leak last month.
