Warner Bros. already spent $100 million on the Wonder Woman game it just canceled
Warner Bros. Discovery is shuttering three studios in its video games division in an apparent effort to fix the flailing business.
The 31-year-old studio Monolith Productions (“Middle-earth: Shadow of War”), Player First Games (“MultiVersus”), and Warner Bros. Games San Diego are all being closed, per reporting from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier.
The company also said it’s canceling one of its biggest projects, a Wonder Woman game (by Monolith) that had gone through a turbulent development. Warner Bros. reportedly spent more than $100 million on the title, which will now never see the light of day.
Warner Bros. holds the rights to massively popular gaming-friendly IP like Batman, “The Lord of the Rings,” “Game of Thrones,” and Harry Potter, but it has struggled to find a hit since 2023’s “Hogwarts Legacy.”
The studio had an abysmal 2024, including a $200 million loss on its “Suicide Squad” title. That game likely would’ve been the industry’s biggest disappointment of the year, were it not for the historically bad performance of Sony’s “Concord.”
