Warner Bros. Shuts Down Monolith Productions, Cancels Wonder Woman Game

The closure of Monolith Productions and other studios marks a significant loss for video game history and raises concerns about preservation and corporate priorities.

Warner Bros. Discovery has closed Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego, halting the development of the highly anticipated Wonder Woman game.
Monolith Productions, known for groundbreaking titles like Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and F.E.A.R., was a key innovator in the gaming industry, particularly with its Nemesis System.
Fans expressed widespread disappointment online, criticizing Warner Bros. for prioritizing profits over preserving iconic characters and studio legacies.
The closure has sparked concerns about the lack of efforts to preserve classic games, as Monolith's influential titles become increasingly inaccessible on modern platforms.
GOG.com announced plans to make Monolith’s F.E.A.R. available on its Preservation Platform, with efforts to save other titles from fading into obscurity.
