Monolith Productions’ Wonder Woman game is reportedly in development trouble in the wake of the game’s senior writer attempting to boycott Hogwart’s Legacy and trying to get a GOG employee fired.

The Wonder Woman game was officially announced by Warner Bros. Games in December 2021. The company shared a brief teaser, “The single player open-world action game will introduce an original story set in the DC Universe and allow players to become Diana of Themyscira to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world.”
They added, “Powered by the Nemesis System, gamers will forge deep connections with both enemies and allies as they progress from a heroic fighter into a proven leader.”
In 2023, writer Tanya DePass announced she was working on the game. She posted on X, “Ok, enough vague-booking. I’ve accepted a position at Monolith Productions as a Senior Writer on Wonder Woman game starting next month!”

DePass previously participated in the failed boycott of Hogwart’s Legacy and claimed that J.K. Rowling was “abusing [her] platform” in order to “wipe out” certain “folks.”

In 2018, DePass also attempted to fire an employee of the GOG social media team.

DePass is also the founder of the activist organization I Need Diverse Games whose goal is to “get free passes for minority and female attendees” according to the Chicago Tribune.
Furthermore she told the outlet, “I’ve been gaming for a long time. … I am tired of not seeing myself in this media. Games are old enough to where we should be beyond the same scruffy white dude as the protagonist or tired racial stereotypes or tropes.”

Now, a new report from Kinda Funny Games YouTube host Greg Miller questioned in a recent show that the game might not ever be seen. He said, “Do you ever see it? Do you ever see it? I don’t know. I don’t know.”
He later added, “In the past year — ’cause I’ll leave it ambiguous — I have talked to an insider, who was like, ‘This game’s troubled.’ That’s it, that’s all I’ll say. So I don’t hold out hope that it’s in a place to show something [at Summer Game Fest].”
“Then again, what is troubled actually mean? … I think it’s not where they want it to be. I don’t think it’s ready for prime time and then I go to: What the f*** is WB doing? What do they want to do? What are they trying to do to these games? Again, I could easily see it, you close that studio, you cancel the project.”
Interestingly, following Miller’s comments Monolith Productions did detail that it was seeking a Lead Gameplay Engineer for its Wonder Woman game just a few days later.
The company posted, “Are you ready to lead an epic journey? Monolith Productions is seeking a Lead Gameplay Engineer for our upcoming Wonder Woman game! Could you be our ideal superhero? Lead, innovate, and inspire with us! Dive into details and apply: lith.com
