Decision to shutter development studios comes as gamers cut back on new purchases and instead opt for proven titles
Warner Bros Discovery is shutting down three of its video game development studios in a move aimed at boosting profitability for its gaming division amid a sluggish recovery in the market, a spokesperson for the company’s games unit said on Tuesday.
The studios to be closed are Player First Games, WB Games San Diego and Monolith Productions. Development on Monolith’s Wonder Woman game will also halt, following the shuttering. “Our hope was to give players and fans the highest quality experience possible for the iconic character, and unfortunately this is no longer possible within our strategic priorities,” the spokesperson said.
