Warner Bros. Game Studios Face Major Setbacks With Wonder Woman and Batman Projects

Development struggles, leadership changes, and financial losses have created uncertainty for upcoming titles from Monolith and Rocksteady.

  • Monolith Productions' Wonder Woman game, announced in 2021, has been rebooted with a new director and remains years away from release despite $100 million already spent.
  • Rocksteady Studios is reportedly returning to its roots with a single-player Batman game, but the project is in early stages and also years from completion.
  • Leadership instability, including the recent departure of Warner Bros. Games president David Haddad, has been cited as a key factor in the division's lack of direction and trend-chasing failures.
  • Recent titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and MultiVersus have underperformed, contributing to significant financial losses and a scaled-back release schedule.
  • Warner Bros. is focusing on core franchises like DC, Hogwarts Legacy, and Game of Thrones in an effort to rebuild its gaming division over the next few years.
