WB Montreal’s Directors, Team Leaders and more have left the studio

WB Games Montreal has historically resided within the shadow of Rocksteady Games – especially as both studios have worked primarily on DC properties in the past. In the wake of Gotham Knights’ less-than-stellar reception, it seems as though many of WB Montreal’s upper-level developers have left the studio.

As collated by ResetEra user ‘est1992’ WB Montreal has in the past few months suffered from a number of its ‘top brass’ developers leaving the studio – with a bunch of them parting ways within the same week.

Just some of the developers who have left WB Montreal include:

  • Geoff Ellenor (Game director)
  • Patrick Redding (Creative Director)
  • Fleur Marty (Executive Producer)

While no reasons were given for these departures, it is safe to assume that the middling reception of Gotham Knights has at least something to do with it.

WB Montreal are said to be working on another new DC game, and while no official information has been shared regarding the specificities of this project, it will be interesting to see just how much these recent departures will affect the final product – for better or for worse.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
