The DC universe is full of incredible characters, but when it comes to video games, Warner Bros. has the frustrating habit of playing us safely.
Of course, Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman are DC and fun icons to play with, but even the deepest DC roster has so much potential. Characters like ConstantineWho brings something interesting and unique to the table.
Unfortunately, according to Bloomberg, WB Games was actually launched a Constantine video game … and they refused it. Yes, one of the most intriguing anti -heroes of DC, a hidden detective that smoked in chain and exorcifying, had a blow to the spotlight of the game, just for the idea of turning them off.
A game Costantino could have been a fantastic addition to the WB games range. THE Hellblazer Comics have always had a completely different tone from the typical DC superhero rate.
Costantino is so different from the main superhero as it is a question of surviving in a supernatural world full of magic and monsters. I love the thought of a single player game in which players could navigate in an supernatural underground world, fight demons, overcome ancient evils and do shady business.
He would also have added a variety so necessary to the WB DC games catalog.
Costantino actually produced a game in 2005. It was a link to the film led by Keanu Reeves, published in Xbox, PS2 and PC.
Although it was not exactly a classic that defines the genre, he still gave players a taste of how supernatural investigative game could appear.
Since then, Costantino has appeared here and there in games like Injustice 2 AND DC Universe OnlineBut never like the command. This recent refused tone could have changed it.
The news on the box Constantine The project is only a small part of a larger problem in WB games. The company is coming out with two main flops with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League AND MultiversusAnd their future formation is not exactly full of trust.
At this moment, the only other project in the works is the Wonder Woman Game from monolith, but it is not completed at all.
Rocksteady, once the golden son of DC Gaming, seems to return to Batman, which is exciting for Arkham fans, but this also seems to be the year.
In the meantime, instead of knowing new exciting projects, we continue to obtain stories about the games that have been launched, rejected or started and demolished. It is not exactly reassuring for DC fans who hope for a new gaming experience.
The Costantino game is just another “What if?” In a long series of missed opportunities.
