Superhero Games vs. Superhero Films: Our Preference
Some people may argue that superhero films offer a more immersive experience. However, for us, nothing beats the thrill of embodying iconic superheroes in video games. Superhero games provide you with the unique opportunity to fight city street thugs, save the day, and even foil the plans of evil supervillains. It’s an exhilarating ride, and nothing comes close to replicating that feeling.
Top 5 Upcoming Superhero Games
With the success of franchises like Batman: Arkham and Insomniac’s games, more studios are developing superhero adaptations. Here’s our ranking of the top 5 upcoming superhero games that you should definitely wishlist:
Wonder Woman
Release Date: To be announced (TBA)
Monolith Productions, the studio behind Middle-earth: Shadow of War, has been quiet since then. However, a single teaser of their next project, Wonder Woman, was enough to pique the interest of fans. Details are scarce, but we do know that it will be an open-world action-adventure game featuring Wonder Woman and her rogue’s gallery. Fans are also excited to see how Monolith’s Nemesis system evolves in this game.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Release Date: January 30, 2024 (Early Access)
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been a rollercoaster ride. While recent showcases of gameplay, Metropolis, and beta testing have received positive reviews, there’s still uncertainty regarding the final product. The game features the Arkhamverse’s entire Justice League, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Additionally, it marks Kevin Conroy’s last appearance as Batman.
Iron Man
Release Date: TBA
Motive Studio, the team behind Dead Space Remake, is now working on an original single-player Iron Man game. Given their past work, fans are excited to see what they bring to the table. While it’s unclear how well Motive will be able to capture the essence of Iron Man, we’re keeping our fingers crossed.
Marvel’s Wolverine
Release Date: TBA
Logan fans have been eagerly anticipating Marvel’s Wolverine since the teaser dropped in 2021. The recent launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has only heightened the excitement. Although there have been some setbacks, such as leaked footage, Insomniac’s track record ensures that Marvel’s Wolverine will be worth the wait.
Blade
Release Date: TBA
Arkane Studios’ Redfall was a disappointment for many fans. However, Blade, developed by Lyon (Paris branch of Arkane) offers a fresh start. Given their impressive track record, such as Dishonored 2, fans are optimistic about Blade’s potential to be a redemption for both the fans and Arkane itself.
