Warner Bros. Games closes three of his development studios – Monolith, FIRST player and WB Games San Diego. He also cancels studios projects, including the Wonder Woman announced game from Monolith. This is the last story of a series of bad news for the publisher, including financial difficulties and the departure of its president David Haddad.
History came at the origin of Jason Schreie de BloombergR and Warner Bros. later confirmed the story itself. According to His declaration (via Bluesky)Warner Bros. Said that this is a “strategic management change” to “structure our development studios and our investments around the construction of the best possible games with our key franchises”. This also confirmed that the Wonder Woman game had been canceled. He reaffirmed his intention to “put our things back to profitability and growth in 2025 and beyond”.
Warner Bros. was faced with financial difficulties, in particular the failure of his live service title, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. He has since announced that this puts an end to the care of the title, with the multiverse of Player First. The publisher had promised to invest more in his companies live, JB Perrette de Warner Bros. Discovery saying that she wanted to do “a live service where people can live and work and build and play in this world on a continuous basis” as opposed to “a One-And-One console game”.
In addition to the Wonder Woman Development game, Monolith is also the studio behind The Fear and Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor. The only game of Player First was multi -lived, which he did in partnership with Warner Bros. Before the publisher acquired it in 2024.
