Warner Bros reportedly shuttering Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros San Diego
Warner Bros. Games is shuttering Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros San Diego.
According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, Warner Bros. has also cancelled its upcoming Wonder Woman game.
A spokesperson for Warner Bros. Games told Bloomberg the shutdowns were “not a reflection of these teams or the talent that consists within them.”
“The quality of too many of our new releases has really missed the mark,” JB Perrette, head of games and streaming for Warner Bros., told staff in the memo.
“We need to make some substantial changes to our portfolio/team structure if we are to commit the necessary resources to get back to a ‘fewer but bigger franchises’ strategy.”
Last month, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president, David Haddad, stood down after 12 years leading the company. In December, almost 100 developers were laid off from Warner Games Montreal.
The cuts came after Warner Bros Discovery reported it had taken “another $100+ million impairment” due to the “underperforming” MultiVersus, a free-to-play crossover fighting game. It was recently announced the game would be delisted and all online functionality disabled in May 2025.
