Warner Bros. Cancels Wonder Woman Game After Major Financial Losses
The cancellation follows the $200 million failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and other costly setbacks for Warner Bros. Games.
- Warner Bros. Games has cancelled its Wonder Woman project and shut down its developer, Monolith Productions, known for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
- The decision is part of a broader restructuring effort following significant financial losses from games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and MultiVersus.
- Monolith initially struggled to develop the Wonder Woman game, facing challenges with its Nemesis System-based mechanics and leadership resignations during production.
- Warner Bros. has announced a shift to focus on fewer, larger franchises, prioritizing Mortal Kombat, Batman, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones titles moving forward.
- The cancellations and layoffs reflect a strategy to cut costs and recover profitability after a turbulent period for the company’s gaming division.
