Future DC Games Will Link to the DCEU, James Gunn Reaffirms

James Gunn, a writer and director, has rose up the ranks at the new DC Studios, making him jointly responsible for all upcoming comic book hero adaptations. It appears that, like the more well-known MCU, the majority of DCEU (DC Extended Universe) projects will be grouped together under one umbrella (Marvel Cinematic Universe). Contrary to Marvel’s initiatives, it appears DC is also going to include video games.

Gunn responded with a clear “yes” to a fan’s question on Twitter about whether upcoming DC games will tie into the DC Extended Universe:

 

This would imply that works like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Wonder Woman are connected to the same canon as the films and television programs. It’s still too early to tell how that choice will play out, but all it really means is that future games will be incorporated into the DCEU canon. The management of the network of Star Wars films, television programs, and video games is what we anticipate.

It differs from Marvel’s strategy, which has chosen to maintain its games independent of the MCU. Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Avengers, and Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, to name a few, are just a few examples of how they have adapted the material in their own special ways. We’re interested to see how DC’s plans develop over the next few years because, for the most part, it has worked effectively.

Are you looking forward to the DC games’ connections to the movies and television shows, or would you rather keep them apart?

In Spider-Man 2, Player Unconventionally Free Roams as Venom

One player found an unusual way to roam Marvel’s Spider-Man 2’s New York City as Venom again. However, intentionally crashing your game during a story segment requires nerves of steel, so we wouldn’t recommend it. Possible Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 spoilers!

UnderTheHood788 explained their method, which involves reaching a cutscene that switches players to Peter. They unplugged their PS5 when the screen blanked while switching to fidelity mode. As the game renders slower, fidelity mode was used. Players get Don’t Be Scared, a mission without an objective, after reloading the last save.

UnderTheHood788 advises, “Wait a bit and go to an unidentified target mission or talon drone mission to become Venom. Reload and become Venom, committing crimes against hunters, the flame, thugs, and even symbiotes. Bases are possible.”

On December 7, Ubisoft’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora hits PS5. Fans can expect new creatures, characters, and storylines that are influencing other Avatar projects as part of James Cameron’s canon.

Massive Entertainment director Magnus Jansén told IGN that the game’s new Western Frontier region—from plants to Na’vi clans—is now Avatar lore: “The Western Frontier is no less a part of the world of Avatar than what’s in the movies.” Jansén says one of their creations is in an Avatar exhibition, but most excitingly, “there is already some talk about maybe using some of the stuff that we did in the upcoming movies.”

Jon Landau, producer of the Avatar films, said: “I think clans are a perfect thing to someday try to weave into the movies. However, new environments follow. Go and say, “Okay, let’s explore what you did in the video game in the movie.” Frontiers of Pandora introduces the Aranahe, Zeswa, and Kame’tire Na’vi clans.

In addition, Lightstorm VP of franchise development Joshua Izzo teased: “I can say that there are going to be some future sequel elements in Frontiers of Pandora that will pay off when the movie comes out when Avatar 3 comes out in 2025. Because of ’25, careful Avatar fans may want to revisit certain things.

CD Projekt’s live-action Cyberpunk 2077 won’t arrive until 2025. In the company’s latest earnings call, the PM project was only mentioned as not expected in 2024.

During a call with IGN, chief commercial officer Michał Nowakowski stated that the company will continue to promote the game and develop the Cyberpunk IP through activities beyond the game.

Nowakowski said, “We’re not really discussing specifics here, but one of the obvious things that we have announced, not happening next year, but going to be developed or moved in the direction next year, is the project we have announced with Anonymous Content.”

Anonymous Content, which produced Crime & Punishment, True Detective, and Mr. Robot, seems like a good fit to bring Night City’s mean streets to life. We don’t know if the project will be a TV show, movie, game adaptation, or standalone story.
