Warner Bros. Games announced significant cuts, closing three studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB Games San Diego. The cancellations include the long-developed Wonder Woman game, reflecting a strategic pivot towards fewer franchises and addressing struggles in the quality and market fit of recent game releases. CEO JB Perrette communicated the focus will now shift to franchises like Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and DC. The company plans to reassess its staffing and aims to enhance mobile gaming revenue and overall game credibility moving forward.
In a communication from executive JB Perrette, Warner Bros. Games announced closures of three studios, cancellation of the Wonder Woman game, and strategic prioritization of four franchises.
Perrette cited a "disappointing 2024" for the games division, indicating a shift in focus to fewer franchises while aiming to improve mobile games revenue and overall game quality.
The Wonder Woman game was deemed no longer in line with strategic priorities, prompting the need to reassign talent within the company as part of a restructuring effort.
Perrette emphasized a commitment to "do better for our fans," highlighting the realization that recent game releases have failed to meet the expected product-market fit and quality.
