Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith and more

Warner Bros. Games is shutting down three of its development studios — Monolith, Player First and WB Games San Diego. It’s also canceling the studios’ projects, including Monolith’s announced Wonder Woman game. This is the latest story in a series of bad news for the publisher, including financial difficulties and the departure of its president David Haddad.

The story originally came from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, and Warner Bros. later confirmed the story itself. According to its statement (via Bluesky), Warner Bros. says this is a “strategic change in direction” to “structure our development studios and investments around building the best games possible with our key franchises.” It also confirmed that the Wonder Woman game had been canceled. It reaffirmed its intention to “getting our games business back to profitability and growth in 2025 and beyond.”
