In fact Factor 5 was looking to make the game a mashed up homage of Superman moments from across all media even adding a fight with General Zod inspired by the Superman II film.Įven with months of work the game never got past the concept art phase and only a target video was ever created.
What would have ended up being called Superman: Man of Steel (not to be confused with Zack Snyder’s film) was to utilize villains and characters from across the DCU such as Livewire, Brimstone, Killer Frost, and a playable version of Supergirl for a mapped out multiplayer mode. Picture Superman in Grand Theft Auto but without killing hookers or carjacking civilians. Factor 5’s vision of the game would have been the first open world Superman game. The game would have followed a similar trajectory to the proposed film by utilizing villains Brainiac and Darkseid. Game studio Factor 5 had pitched to be the developer on the Superman game which was to be a marketing tie-in to the never made Bryan Singer sequel to 2006’s Superman Returns. The publisher had inked a deal with Warner Brothers to create games based on DC Comics properties which included The Flash and Superman. They even went so far as to set up headquarters on Sunset Blvd which most consider the epicenter of the entertainment industry.
Much like their coverage of the unreleased Dark Knight video game, this story is a tragic tale of a licensed games publisher and a game development studio.īrash Entertainment a gaming publisher first formed with the sole purposed of being a licensed game factory for Hollywood. Recently, the YouTube channel Did You Know Gaming published a video outlining a canceled open world Superman game.
