There’s some interesting new tidbits coming up about the Wonder Woman game in production over at Monolith Productions.
Monolith Productions has very recently clarified to the public that the Wonder Woman game is not going to be a live service game, as was rumored and speculated on for some time. What we had established is that this game will be using the Nemesis system that Monolith invented, and of course, Warner Bros had famously patented.
As reported in Tech4Gamers, “Shpeshal” Nick Baker shared this tidbit about the Wonder Woman game’s development at the latest episode of the XboxEra podcast:
“It is currently 30FPS, but they are pushing for the performance mode.”
Monolith is putting work into 60FPS, and compared the graphics quality of the Wonder Woman game to the recently released Gotham Knights.
Now, the easy thing to look at here is the alleged Gotham Knights level quality. But we do have to be clear that Gotham Knights, which was developed by WB Games Montreal,didn’t run on 60 FPS on consoles at all, and it hasn’t been patched to support that quality level. Of course, if you have a sufficiently powerful PC, you got a respectable version of Gotham Knights that could also go up to 60 FPS 4K, dependent on your rig.
The real thing to cling onto here is Monolith Productions working on 60 FPS. When the company made their Shadow of Mordor games across the seventh and eight generations of consoles, they were not able to consistently get 60 FPS for the games across these platforms. Of course, all of them could be made to run at 60 FPS, and at 4K, on PC.
So this hints at a serious effort in the studio to improve on something that they have struggled with before. Of course, it is also a necessary step forward for the studio, so that they can make this Wonder Woman game in line with what gamers expect from ninth generation games.
It’s also interesting that Nick made this announcement on the Xbox centric XboxEra podcast. The Wonder Woman game is a multiplatform game, but Nick seems to be implying that this is something Xbox fans in particular to look forward to.
As we know now, the Xbox Series X has the power to outperform the PlayStation 5, if the developers put the effort into it. So this rumor suggests Xbox fans should expect 60 FPS for the Wonder Woman game on Xbox Series X, and hopefully also on Xbox Series S. Could we even hope that it could output at 4k 60 FPS? We certainly hope so.
