The gaming community is still buzzing with curiosity about Monolith’s Wonder Woman game, which has been shrouded in mystery since its announcement in 2021. Up to this point, the only glimpse we’ve caught is from a brief teaser trailer, paired with news that the game will feature the innovative Nemesis System — a highlight from Monolith’s previous titles, Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War.
Given how well the Nemesis System was received, it makes perfect sense for Monolith to bring it back. When reflecting on Shadow of War, there’s another fascinating element that could be valuable for Wonder Woman: the Siege Missions. These missions were all about attack and defense, becoming integral to the game’s core, and the world of Wonder Woman might just be an ideal canvas for their reintegration.
### Wonder Woman Should Reintroduce Siege Missions
#### Understanding Siege Missions
In these missions, players toggle between the offensive and defensive, creating a dynamic battle scenario. The attackers’ goal is to breach fortress defenses and commandeer Victory Points. Once they’ve accomplished this, they face off against the fortress’s Overlord. A victory for the attackers means conquering the fortress. The thrilling back-and-forth nature of these missions makes them a memorable part of the gameplay in Shadow of War, elevating strategic play significantly.
Monolith’s track record of success hints that these sieges could add a strategic depth to Wonder Woman, should they choose to include them. Currently, Monolith has revealed that Wonder Woman aims for a single-player, open-world experience.
### Potential Challenges from Wonder Woman’s Enemies
Due to the mystery surrounding the game, we haven’t seen what kinds of adversaries players will face. Leaks hint at creatures from Greek mythology, which seems likely, but a variety of foes would certainly enrich gameplay. If the game only features mythical beasts, the Nemesis System might lose some of its charm, and the adventures might feel repetitive.
Including humanoid enemies could enhance gameplay, possibly featuring in Siege Missions if they become part of the game. The elusive antagonists in Wonder Woman are one of the many aspects fans are eager to uncover, though exactly when that’ll happen remains a mystery.
### The Unknown Future of Wonder Woman Reveals
The silence from Monolith has stirred speculation about Wonder Woman being stuck in development limbo. However, there’s a flicker of hope: recently, Monolith spotlighted Wonder Woman on their website, sparking rumors of a big reveal at the 2024 Game Awards. While that didn’t materialize, this update reassures fans that Monolith is actively working on the game.
With the gaming industry as unpredictable as ever, an announcement could drop at any moment. It’s plausible that Monolith is holding out for a major event like Summer Game Fest or Gamescom to reveal more. Until then, we’re left to wonder which elements from Shadow of War will find their way into Wonder Woman.
