Warner Bros. has officially cancelled the long-awaited Wonder Woman game developed by Monolith Productions, known for the Shadow of Mordor series. This decision coincides with the closure of Monolith and two other studios, Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games San Diego, due to a strategic shift aimed at focusing on fewer major franchises, including Harry Potter and Mortal Kombat. Warner Bros. Games CEO JB Perrette stated that the cancellations were difficult but necessary for regaining credibility and producing high-quality games in the future. The closures have caused uncertainty for many employees, with some already seeking new opportunities.

The cancellation of the Wonder Woman game stemmed from multiple factors, including the project's ongoing challenges to develop cohesively, underwhelming performance of recent releases, and a strategic refocus on fewer but bigger franchises to improve game quality.

Monolith Productions gained recognition for its innovative gameplay and storytelling in the Middle-earth series, where it successfully utilized the Nemesis System. The anticipated Wonder Woman game aimed to deliver a similar level of depth and engagement for players. The studio's closure marks a significant industry shift, reflecting broader trends in game development where major corporations consolidate resources to maintain financial stability amidst changing market dynamics.
