Information on the upcoming Wonder Woman game was recently leaked, revealing that obscure DC villain Circe will be the main villain. This is a bit disappointing since Circe isn’t the most well-known DC character, but her presence does give a storyline reason for the game’s Nemesis System.
According to the now-deleted leak from Wonder Woman Game Updates (via The Gamer), Circe will invade Themyscira with an army of mythical creatures. Naturally, Diana has to return to her homeland, defeat Circe to restore order, and rescue her Amazonian sisters.
Even if Circe isn’t the most exciting villain from Wonder Woman lore, the character’s powers do give a storyline reason for the Nemesis System. Circe is a sorceress and will have an army of creatures on her side, many of whom can have beef with the iconic DC hero.
For fans who are disappointed in the choice of Circe, the leak did say that more DC villains will be part of the story. This means that characters like Cheetah and Aries can still make an appearance in the game, though DC might save them for a potential sequel. Other DC heroes are also teased for this, meaning the likes of Batman and Superman can also appear.
Beyond this leak, no concrete details on this new superhero game have been revealed, which has worried many gamers. Even gaming insiders aren’t too positive about the game’s status right now, as Greg Miller of Kinda Funny previously said development was rough. The game didn’t show up in any of the recent gaming showcases either, so it looks like DC fans are in for a long wait.
Right now, the only thing fans know about this Wonder Woman game is that Monolith is developing it and the game will have the beloved Nemesis System. This means any enemies that kill Wonder Woman will become stronger and gain more notoriety, making them tougher to beat next time. Hopefully, actual details on the game will be coming out in the near future.
