## History

WB Games Montréal logo from its foundation in 2010 to 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, Software:Batman: Arkham Origins, 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 mixed reactions, garnering praise for its boss battles[5][6] and the characterization of Batman,[7][8] as well as criticism for not moving the series forward compared to previous entries[5][8] in addition to technical issues.[9]

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.[10] At DC FanDome in August 2020, the studio announced Gotham Knights.[11]

In July 2024, Warner Bros. announced that it had hired Bethesda Game Studios director Yves Lachance as vice president and studio head of WB Games Montréal.[12]
