DC Studios co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran are collaborating with Rocksteady and NetherRealm to develop new video games set in the DC Universe. They are working closely with JB Perrette, leader of Warner Bros. Games, to ensure that game narratives align with upcoming DC films. Although details are limited, Gunn confirmed that projects are still in early development stages, with the first DCU video game slated for release in at least two years. The partnership marks a significant shift in how DC interacts with its game studios.
We work incredibly closely with JB Perrette, who runs that division, and it's really the first time it's ever been this way at Warner Brothers.
James and I sit with literally the guys that run the studios underneath JB, whether it's NetherRealm or whether it's Rocksteady, sit with them and talk about characters and stories that we're interested in.
We talk about when they're talking about what the story might be, we say, 'Well, maybe you want to go this way because we're planning on maybe doing something with this character and so forth and so on,' and help to deal with that.
The new DCU video game was at least two years away from release, with Safran saying that upcoming projects were 'really interesting'.
