WB Games Montreal is hiring an executive producer for what appears to be a new live service game. All-told, the WB Games subsidiary is hiring 12 people across multiple disciplines, including two producers and three programmers.

The executive producer job will oversee a DC game, and the studio wants applicants to have a "deep understanding of the full game development lifecycle, including live services."

Based on the job listings we've scanned, we can determine that the new game may:

• Be built in Unreal Engine 5
• Come to both console and PC
• Be defined as a AAA game
• Be a live service title

WB Games has yet to announce anything, but WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav said pre-merger that the games division would focus on four key franchises for games moving forward: DC (primarily Batman and Superman), Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and Harry Potter.
