## History

WB Games Montréal logo until 2020.

WB Games Montréal was founded in 2010 by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (now Warner Bros. Games).[2][3]

One of the studio's titles, Batman, was displayed for the public at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), and received two nominations from the Game Critics Awards for Best Action/Adventure Game and Best Console Game.[4] Upon Batman: Arkham Origins's release it received positive reviews. However, the company received a significant amount of criticism for failing to conduct proper testing on the game prior to release as well as refusing to address a number of game-breaking bugs that plagued the title, instead preferring to focus on the development and release of paid DLC.[5]

During an interview on the Humans of Gaming Podcast in October 2018, WB Games Montréal Senior Game Designer Osama Dorias confirmed that two DC Comics-based video games are currently in development at the studio.[6] At DC FanDome in August 2020, the studio announced Gotham Knights.[7]
