Warner Bros. has closed three major studios, Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and Warner Bros. Games San Diego, in an effort to increase its profitability.
First reported by Bloomberg, Warner Bros. has subsequently released a statement outlining the cuts. “We have had to make some very difficult decisions to structure our development studios and investments around building the best games possible with our key franchises,” it read, before listing Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, DC, and Games of Thrones as areas of focus going forward.
