- Warner Bros will retain the rights of Mordor shadowNemesis system until 2036
- The system was established to be used in the Wonder Woman game of Monolith Productions
- Warner Bros closed the monolith this week, letting the nemesis system unusable for any other study for another 11 years
Warner Bros. will retain the patent to Middle Earth: Shadow of MordorNemesis system until 2036, after the closure of monolith productions.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. closed three main studies, including Monolith, Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games San Diego, as part of a restructuring effort to focus on its key franchises such as Harry Potter, Mortal KombatDc, and game of Thrones.
Since the monolith is now closed, this also means that the developer Wonderful woman The game, which was announced in 2021, is also canceled.
The DC superhero game was ready to see the return of the genius of study nemesis system, a game mechanic for the first time in Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor That generates stronger and more intelligent enemies after being defeated with the knowledge of the player’s past actions.
However, now that the monolith no longer exists, the destination of the nemesis system is apparently in limbo, and cannot be used by any other study, since Warner Bros. has its patent until 2036.
According to the official patent, the company requested in 2016, obtained the rights in 2021 and has an expiration date of August 11, 3036, which means that it will continue to be the property of Warner Bros for another 11 years.
It is not confirmed if any future titles of Warner Bros. will use mechanics, so many fans suspect that this means the end of the nemesis system.
“Cancel the Wonderful woman The game is already bad enough, but closing the study that created something as good as the nemesis system (which WB patented) is evil, “said a user on X / Twitter.
It didn’t know much about Wonderful woman During her development, however, after her cancellation comics writer, Gail Simone, she revealed in a thread of X / Twitter that she consulted about the game and was “beautiful and expansive.”
We also know that it would have been an action and adventure game for a single player, and apparently it has been located in the homeland of Wonder Woman’s Island of Themyscira, presents other DC heroes, as well as elements of Greek mythology, according to a filtered synopsis.
