Warner Bros Montreal is hiring for its next game

It has been a long time since we last saw a game from WB Montreal and while a new Batman title has been frustratingly teased time and again, we have yet to see it. Fortunately, the silence should come to an end soon, as WB Montreal is expected to appear at DC Fandome in August. Beyond that, the studio is also hiring for its next project. 

A job listing for a Senior Gameplay Programmer was spotted on the Warner Careers website, calling for someone with 6+ years in game development, experience in various game systems and AI pathing, UI and online networking. Meanwhile, experience with Unreal Engine and multiplayer architecture are listed as bonuses.

The listing doesn't really give away what this team will be working on, but given that the next Batman game is due for announcement within the next few weeks, it likely isn't for that. However, WB Montreal could be looking ahead towards the next instalment in the series, or even starting work on a new IP entirely.

DC Fandome takes place on the 22nd of August. WB Games is set to appear with WB Montreal's long teased Batman title. Rumours also indicate that Rocksteady may also make an appearance.

KitGuru Says: WB Montreal has essentially missed out on an entire console generation, so hopefully the studio is ramping up to shorten the amount of time between releases. What do you think WB Montreal should work on next? Would you like to see them continue on with more Batman?

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
