BREAKING: Warner Bros. Games is shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, sources tell Bloomberg News.

Warner Bros. is also canceling the Wonder Woman game.

I see a lot of people responding to this news with complaints about David Zaslav, but it was president David Haddad who ran Warner Bros. Games for the last decade and who was responsible for overseeing all of the studios and their output.

By the time David Zaslav took over WB Discovery in April 2022, Monolith had already gone almost five years without shipping a game and lost almost its entire leadership team under Haddad's management

ugggghhhhhh! I either have to get this job i'm interviewing for or it's just gonna get even more rough to beat out the thousands looking for jobs.

Wow. Shut down of Monolith is a major loss.

Hard to believe it makes financial sense. Cancel wonder woman sure, but they couldn't find a buyer? The middle earth games were loved.

player first is no surprise after multiversus is announced to shut down soon.

i don't even know anything about  WB San Diego.   

monolith is a shame.  i was looking forward to wonder women.   afaik we only ever got a teaser for it so maybe the game is just pure crud but on-paper it sounds like a game i would like.

Shame, I did enjoy Shadow of Mordor

Monolith are a husk of its former self. Cliffhanger games is basically the new Monolith.

Still the job losses suck and its completely on WB mismanagement
