Kingdom Death: Monster, among the highest-earning crowdfunded board games of all time, is a rare beast in part because of its price point, which currently stands at $420. It’s also because of production issues, meaning that the game has been out of print for long periods of time ever since its first run in 2015. But if you get the chance to actually play it, as I have, you’ll find the mechanics are quite literally to die for. The base game features complex monsters and elaborate turn-based battles, a potent crafting system, and a fascinating take on colony simulation. Beloved characters will die horribly and often, potentially putting an end to your campaign after scores of hours. Add to that mix dozens of the industry’s most gorgeous multi-part plastic miniatures and you can see why I once called it “the Everest of board games.”
Wonder Woman game still in the works, with Gotham Knights team helping
20.03.2024 - 13:19 / radiotimes.com
Remember that Wonder Woman game that was revealed to be in development a long, long time ago?
Warner Bros has remembered, at least, as it's been revealed that it is still being developed — and it now has the Gotham Knights team helping out.
We've had plenty of memorable superhero games over the years (for better and for worse), with us being treated to some spectacular Spider-Man titles and brilliant Batman games in the last decade or so. Wonder Woman? She hasn't been quite so lucky.
The famous DC superhero has starred in her own movies, had a famous TV show and has been a firm fan favourite among comic book readers since her debut in 1941 by writer and creator William Moulton Marston and artist HG Peter.
It’s about time we got a good Wonder Woman game, too.
Fortunately, Warner Bros agrees, and confirmed that Monolith Productions had started development on a single-player open-world as-yet-untitled Wonder Woman game back in 2021.
It’s been nearly three years since its announcement and we’ve seen nothing of the game since — there’s nary been a noteworthy development update, even.
Until now.

As revealed by Tech4Gamers, WB Games Montréal – the studio which brought us Gotham Knights – is actively hiring for an external development artist to «work closely with [WB Games Montréal] and support the Monolith Productions team on their announced Wonder Woman game».
It should be noted that the job listing doesn’t go into much detail regarding the game or how much WB Games Montréal is assisting in development efforts, but it’s something.
We now know that two studios (at least) are working on the long-gestating Wonder Woman title.
WB Games Montréal previously ported Batman: Arkham City to the Wii U and developed both Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights. The studio has plenty of experience in the superhero genre.
Coupled with Monolith Productions, who previously gave us both Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, it’s safe to assume Wonder Woman is in safe hands.
Hopefully, Wonder Woman takes at least some of its combat and story cues from the Middle-Earth games. It will use the famous Nemesis system from those games, which created some fun and unique twists for each player's experience.
Fans will be hoping that the team takes its time to give Wonder Woman the video game she deserves, and that we don’t have another Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League situation on our hands.
You may take some solace in the fact that the Wonder Woman game is «not being designed as

Dragon's Dogma 2 players denounce stealth missions as "the worst quests in the game" - as they barely seem to require any stealth at all
Dragon's Dogma 2 has been out and in players' hands for almost a week now, and it's fair to say that although it launched to incredibly positive critic reviews, certain elements haven't been received fantastically by the fanbase. The action-RPG was immediately hit with backlash for its microtransactions, and plenty of people have been left frustrated by the deadly Dragonsplague mechanic, too.
