#Monolith Productions shut down

Discovery is making drastic cuts to its gaming division, canceling the highly anticipated Wonder Woman game and shutting down three of its studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros. Monolith Productions, known for its work on Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, had been developing the Wonder Woman game since its announcement in 2021. Games San Diego, which has worked on various multiplayer projects, is also being shut down. These shutdowns mark another rough chapter for WB Games, following the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which struggled with poor player reception and is already seeing support scaled back less than a year after launch.

Vermeij’s comments echo a sentiment widely shared among developers who fear that the industry’s volatility and rapid-fire pace of shutdowns can prevent great ideas from being fully realized.
