Warner Bros. Cancels Wonder Woman Game and Closes Three Studios
Warner Bros. Games has initiated a major restructuring, announcing the closure of Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. Alongside these shutdowns, the highly anticipated Wonder Woman game has reportedly been canceled. While no official statement has been released, renowned industry insider Jason Schreier broke the news via his BlueSky account.
Closed Studios and Canceled Projects
Monolith Productions: The studio behind acclaimed titles like Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War was actively developing the Wonder Woman game before its cancellation.
Player First Games: Acquired by Warner Bros. in July 2024, this studio developed the platform fighter MultiVersus, which recently announced its impending shutdown. The studio itself is now closing.
WB San Diego: Established in 2019, this studio focused on mobile and free-to-play games and is among the casualties of Warner Bros.’ restructuring.
The Demise of the Wonder Woman Game
Announced in 2021, the Wonder Woman game by Monolith Productions promised a dynamic open-world action-adventure experience featuring the iconic Nemesis System. The cancellation marks another blow to fans eagerly awaiting a solo title for the DC superheroine.
Warner Bros. Games’ Restructuring Efforts
Warner Bros. Games reported a $100 million loss in 2024, attributed to underperforming titles like MultiVersus and Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. This financial setback prompted the company to streamline operations, shutting down studios and axing projects.
Rumors previously swirled about Microsoft’s interest in acquiring Warner Bros.’ gaming division. With these closures, speculation about potential mergers or acquisitions could resurface.
