Wonder Woman: Circle Of Light - 12 Leaked Details You're Not Supposed To Know
7. There'll Be More RPG Elements
DC Comics
In previous Arkham titles, the way players upgraded Batman involved levelling up and acquiring new combat moves, gadgets and stat increases. It didn't offer the most robust sense of progression ever, but by the time each Arkham game drew to a close, players felt like they really were the Dark Knight, with their proficiency in combat reflected by the wear and tear the suit developed over the course of each title's respective story.
Montreal, ostensibly, are taking things one step further with Wonder Woman. Instead of just one single upgradable tree, the game will include three - each focusing on one particular weapon.
There'll be an upgradable lasso for those who prefer a more traditional approach to combat, a tree based solely on her sword and shield, and then one based on hand-to-hand combat with Diana's famous bracelets. It all sounds rather fitting, and with the chance for players to hone one particular fighting style, Wonder Woman could yet offer the most nuanced combat experience the Arkham games have ever seen.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
