With a big-budget Wonder Woman movie premiered in 2017 and followed by a sequel due to hit theaters and HBO Max this Christmas, it’s no wonder fans want more. Thankfully, August 23rd’s announcement of a brand-new game focused on the iconic DC character has set the internet into a frenzy.
Published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and developed by Warner Bros. Games Montréal, Wonder Woman: 1984 promises to let us step into the shoes of Diana Prince and explore the world as she does. While the movie trailer has been a great source of inspiration and clues, there are still some things about this game that remain a mystery.
Fortunately for the eager fans, developers have been slowly announcing the details. As a third-person action-adventure game, players will team up with Wonder Woman to explore and fight their way through different locations such as Washington, D.C., London, and even Themyscira.
Players can take full advantage of the iconic character’s unique combination of power, speed, and combat skills. Naturally, players will have the Lasso of Truth and can also use the character’s Amazonian shield as both a weapon and a magical artifact. Furthermore, Wonder Woman’s iconic invisible jet will be used as a way to quickly traverse between different locations.
However, this isn’t the game that fans were expecting from the announcement. While the press release did promise something special, it didn’t give any hints about the game’s genre or setting. But based on the latest screenshots and promotional material, it does appear to be a third-person action game.
Players will also be able to pick and choose different outfits for Diana, which players can use to customize their experience. Judging from the reveal trailer, there will also be a variety of powers and abilities to use in battle, from powerful lasso grabs to lightning blasts that break through structures.
Overall, the Wonder Woman game is sure to be a hit with fans of the movie and the character. While the details are still relatively sparse, what has been revealed so far ensures an exciting adventure. If the final result is anything like the movie trailers and the press release promise, fans are sure to be in for an incredible experience.
