WB Games Montréal Inc. is a Canadian video game developer based in Montreal, Canada. It was founded as a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Games in 2010 and is best known for developing Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights.

History

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

One of the studio's titles, 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. Upon Batman: Arkham Origins's release it received mixed reactions, garnering praise for its boss battles and the characterization of Batman, as well as criticism for not moving the series forward compared to previous entries in addition to technical issues.

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. At DC FanDome in August 2020, the studio announced Gotham Knights.

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.
