What comes next for WB Games, but also for other large game studios, is going to be very interesting. The length of time it's taken to make and never release Wonder Woman, as well as Suicide Kill The Justice League, shows how trends come and go and titles miss their moment.

Warner Bros. Games is making big cuts, closing three studios — Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB Games San Diego — and canceling its long-in-development Wonder Woman game, the publisher told employees on Tuesday. All projects from those studios have been canceled.

The cuts reflect a refocusing of the games division on major franchises such as Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones and DC Comics, primarily Batman.
