Overview

Wonder Woman Game Canceled Controversy refers to the cancelation of the long-anticipated Wonder Woman action-adventure video game developed by Monolith Productions, known for its work on the Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor series. Warner Bros. Discovery announced its cancelation in late February 2025 along with the shutdown of three associated game studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games San Diego. This decision sparked outrage among fans of the heroine on social media, sparking comparisons with other prominent DC Comics heroes like Superman and Batman's projects, alleging that the iconic character potential is wasted by DC studios and Warner Bros.

Background

The Wonder Woman game was initially^[1] revealed with notable excitement back on December 9th, 2021, with Monolith Productions describing the project as a single-player, open-world action game featuring an original story as players star as Diana in a "fight to unite her Amazon family and the humans from the modern world."

The teaser trailer for the video game (seen below) amassed over 483,000 views and 13,000 likes in three years.

On February 25th, 2025, Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier revealed in a post on Bluesky^[2] that Warner Bros. was "canceling the Wonder Woman game," as well as "shutting down Monolith Productions, Player First Games, and WB San Diego." The post (seen below) amassed more than 5,600 likes and 3,100 reposts in a day.

According to a statement by Warner Bros. shared with Variety^[3] on February 25th, 2025, the company said the game's development would not move forward, stating:

“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. This is another tough decision, as we recognize Monolith’s storied history of delivering epic fan experiences through amazing games.”

Online Reactions

The cancelation of Wonder Woman's video game stirred a wave of negative reactions online, with frustration and disappointment among fans spreading in late February 2025.

For instance, on February 25th, 2025, X^[4] user @quaketano wrote, "The fact that Wonder Woman is actually the most iconic female superhero but gets this kind of treatment should be considered a crime." The post (seen below) amassed 73,000 views and 2,400 likes in a day.

On the same day, YouTuber^[5] and gaming streamer Vara Dark posted a video commenting on the Wonder Woman game controversy, which amassed roughly 8,000 views and 980 likes in a day (seen below).

The news also spawned some memes regarding the disappointed fans who were eagerly waiting for the video game's release.

For example, on February 25th, 2025, Redditor^[6] u/RailfanTransitFan posted the How Do We Tell Him? meme to the /r/WonderWoman subreddit, commenting about a Redditor who promised to draw Wonder Woman every day until her game comes out.
