Warner Bros. Games is restructuring, resulting in the cancellation of its planned Wonder Woman game and the closure of three studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego. This news, initially reported by Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, was subsequently confirmed by Warner Bros. in a statement.

The company cited a strategic shift towards focusing development and investment on key franchises like Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, DC, and Game of Thrones. While acknowledging the talent and contributions of the affected teams, WB stated that continuing development on the Wonder Woman game was no longer strategically viable, aiming for the highest quality experience for fans.

This decision follows earlier reports of challenges within WB's gaming division, including the troubled development of the Wonder Woman game, layoffs at Rocksteady, the mixed reception of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and the shutdown of MultiVersus. The recent departure of long-time games head David Haddad and rumors of a potential sale of the division further highlight the ongoing restructuring.

The closure represents a significant setback for WB's DC universe gaming ambitions, particularly given recent statements by James Gunn and Peter Safran indicating a delay in the release of the first DCU video game.

The impacted studios boast impressive histories. Monolith Productions, founded in 1994 and acquired by WB in 2004, is renowned for the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor series and its innovative Nemesis system. Player First Games (established 2019) developed MultiVersus, while WB San Diego (also established 2019) focused on mobile free-to-play titles.

These closures underscore a broader trend in the games industry of layoffs, cancellations, and studio closures, which has accelerated over the past three years. While precise figures for 2025 are less readily available, the pattern of significant job losses continues.
