Watchmen: Justice is Coming has only just been announced, but it'll be ready for release later this month.

The game is set in 1975, before the events of the movie, at a time when masked vigilantes have been outlawed. It'll have all the usual MMO elements, from an in-game chat system to customizable characters and "strategic 3D combat".
