Monolith Productions is a studio with credits that stretch all the way back to 1997 but became a more widely known entity after it releasedMiddle-Earth: Shadow of Mordorin 2014. The game would go on to win several Game of the Year awards with many praising the Nemesis System. The game’s direct sequel,Middle-Earth: Shadow of Warwas a more controversial installment thanks to its extensive use of microtransactions and loot boxes. Themicrotransactions were removed fromShadow of Warin mid-2018.
Very little is known about Monolith Productions' upcoming game. Reports have indicated thatWonder Womanwill use the Nemesis System from theMiddle-Earthgamesand will be an open-world experience. However, the game could still be years away from a release date. The developer’s apparent commitment to accessibility features for the upcoming game, however, would likely make the titular character proud.
