Warner Bros. Games closes three studios, Wonder Woman game cancelled

If you were hoping to get some news from the Wonder Woman video game, we have bad news: Warner Bros. Games has announced the closure of multiple studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. The closure of Monolith also means the cancellation of the Wonder Woman game, confirms Jason Schreier for Bloomberg.

Monolith Productions was founded in 1994, and got acquired by Warner Bros. in 2004. Their biggest hits are two The Lord of the Rings-based games, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Middle-earth: Shadow of War, both of which were critically acclaimed and successful commercially, and famous for introducing the Nemesis System, so revolutionary that WB actually patented it. Their Wonder Woman game was announced at The Game Awards 2021, but we never got any news about it, only rumours about trouble development after this.

Player First Games were the creators of MultiVersus, a free-to-play fighting game, inspired by Super Smash Bros. with characters from DC Comics, Looney Tunes, and other WB franchises, that will get delisted on May 30, 2025, only one year after its launch.

WB Games San Diego was a division founded in 2019 dedicated to Mobile Games. All three studios will be closed, according to Jason Schreier. This comes a day after James Gunn and Peter Safran, CEOs of DC Studios film division, confirmed they were speaking with Warner Bros. Games developers to create video games based on DC properties. It is rumoured that one of them is a new Batman Arkham game from Rocksteady. However, Wonder Woman won't take flight, after reportedly spending 100 million dollars on it.
