AWonder Womangame is currently in the works at Monolith Productions, the studio behindMiddle-earth: Shadows of MordorandMiddle-earth: Shadow of War.

Slated to be an action-adventure game with open-world elements, theWonder Womangame will have you step into the shiny boots of beloved DC hero Wonder Woman as she fights against the forces of evil. While we don’t know much about the game as of yet, there are a few details we can piece together from the preview trailer as well as Monolith Productions' history.

For instance, Monolith has a great track record when it comes to adapting beloved settings. TheMiddle-earthseries was full of action-packed setpieces and captivating cuts that really did justice to J.R.R. Tolkien’s timelessThe Lord of the Ringsuniverse. While they didn’t distinguish themselves quite enough to earn a place on our lists of thebest single-player gamesand thebest story games, both titles are still well worth playing if you’re a fan of fantasy action. Here’s what we know about Wonder Woman so far.

Wonder Woman game: cut to the chase

Wonder Woman gameplay

We don’t have a lot of information onWonder Woman’s game mechanics right now. We know it’ll use the ‘Nemesis System’, previously seen inMiddle-earth: Shadow of MordorandShadow of War.

The system created a procedurally generated hierarchy across enemy orcs, giving them more personality than your standard grunts. Considering we don’t know who Diana will be facing, it’s yet unknown how the system will be implemented.

Unfortunately, the teaser trailer was purely cinematic and offered no real hints, beyond telling us that Diana’s returning home to face a new threat.

All we otherwise have is thisofficial statementfrom David Hewitt, vice president and studio head at Monolith, who told us:

“The stories our players share inspire us every day, and we are honored to take players on a unique personal journey, driven by the values embodied inWonder Woman. The Nemesis System raised the bar for player-driven storytelling and we’re excited to push the open-world genre forward, combining cutting-edge action with inventive narratives to create aWonder Womangame everyone will want to play.”

Wonder Woman trailer

TheWonder Womanannouncement teaser trailer doesn’t give much away, but it does give us a close-up look at the hero herself, complete with her iconic Lasso of Truth. There may not be much to go on, but we’re suitably impressed with Monolith Production’s take on Diana Prince when it comes to visual design.

Besides the teaser, we are yet to see any other previews. In the meantime, we advise keeping an eye onWarner Bros. Games' official YouTube channelfor new announcements down the line.

Wonder Woman: what we want to see

An iconic lineup of enemies to fightWe currently don’t know who Diana’s main adversaries with be in theWonder Womangame, but it’s almost certain that we’ll see some familiar faces from the DC universe. We’re hoping that Ares is the primary villain in Monolith’s title, with the likes of Cheetah, Giganta, Circe, and Doctor Psycho making appearances in some form - perhaps sitting just below Ares in the Nemesis System ranks.

What’s more likely (and makes more sense) is thatWonder Womanwill take on Villainy Incorporated. The Nemesis System would do a great job at capturing the dynamic of an evil organization, complete with its own rank structures and internal politics.

An invisible jetSure, it’s cheesy, but we would love to see Monolith (somehow) makeWonder Woman’s invisible jet cool.Wonder Woman 1984did - kind of - but it would be great to see the developer integrate the jet into gameplay in a way that doesn’t feel shoehorned.

Combat that feels goodOne thing we’ve learned from recent superhero games is that how a herofeelsto play is a make-or-break factor. We’re hoping thatWonder Womanfeels as strong as she is meant to be, with powerful melee attacks and - of course - the ability to Lasso of Truth our enemies.

Utilizing the power of the PS5 and Xbox Series XGoing off our last point, we would love to see Monolith adding haptic feedback and adaptive controller support to theWonder Womangame, so we can really feel the tension in the lasso or the feel of kicking Cheetah in the face (hopefully). We’re also expecting (more than hoping) thatWonder Womanwill have minimal loading screens despite being an open-world title.
