Roughly a month later, Monolith's Wonder Woman game was cancಌeled, and the developer was also shutdown. Not only was Monolith shuttered, but WB San Diego and Player First Gam✅es, who♏ were in charge of MultiVersus, were also closed.

Now, a new financial report from Warner Bros. paints a grim picture of its gaꦐmes department, with much of the blame falling on Suicide Squad's failure.

Things Are Not Looking Good For Warner Bros.

, revenue in the company's games division is down 48 p▨ercent for Q1 2025, with the company highlighting the release of Suicide Squad, plus "no releases" in this curr꧒ent quarter.

Not onꦡly was revenue down as a whole, but Warner Bros. also saw a decrease in spending when it comes to expenses for game development. Per the report, games content expenses decreased by 66 percent, "primarily driven by the prior year quarter impairme🔯nt related to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and lower games revenue in the current quarter."

The above is largely just business speak for the ma🐈ssive write-off that Kill the Justice League forced WB to take on its financial statements. In other words, because Suicide Squad flopped, the company hasn't spent money on its division.

Ouch.

With so much shuffling, it's unclear what WB's next move will be. Back in March, it was repဣorted that Hogwarts Legacy DLC was canceled due to theꦑ financial situation. Rocksteady was hiring for🐬 a new third-person action game, though that feels a ൲ways off. Either way, the finances aren't🍨 p🦹retty, and it doesn't look like any relief is coming soon.
