Green Lantern game rumored
According to a report on VentureBeat, citing several undisclosed sources, a Green Lantern video game is in the works and is believed to be linked to the Green Lantern film from Casino Royale and Goldeneye director Martin Campbell. According to this report, the game will be developed by Double Helix, who most recently worked on the G.I. Joe movie tie-in games and Silent Hill Homecoming.
Of course, it doesn’t make a lot of sense if it is true, considering that Warner Bros. owns Snowblind Studios, who made the wonderful Justice League Heroes games for PS2, PSP and Xbox. Both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game are in the works, says VentureBeat.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros is not talking about this story, saying only that it does not comment on rumor and speculation.
Warner Bros. Acquires Snowblind Studios
Kevin Tsujihara, President, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group announced today that the company has acquired Snowblind Studios, makers of such hit action RPG franchises as Champions of Norrath, Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance - and one of my favorite games - Justice League Heroes. While it wasn’t emphatically stated, we assume the studio will continue to operate in Bothell, Washington - just outside of Seattle.
This acquisition, says Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, is another move to solidify itself as a full fledged games publisher. The company also announced a new title with partner Traveler’s Tales called LEGO Battles, which will help it further step in that direction.
And now for some healthy speculation: what could Snowblind be working on with Warner Bros. Home Entertainment? Hmmm. Perhaps a game based on a certain group of super heroes from the DC Comics universe? We know it won’t be a new Baldur’s Gate or Champions of Norrath game because those IPs are owned by other publishers, so i’d bet money on something revolving around Justice League. At least that’s what I’m hoping for.
