Several developers from Warner Bros. Montréal have announced on LinkedIn that they have been laid off, with most finishing on Friday, 13th March. No formal confirmation from the company has been issued yet. The reports come amid ongoing struggles in Warner Bros.' games division.
Developers across various disciplines at Warner Bros. Montréal have taken to LinkedIn to state they are seeking new work after being let go. They indicate their employment ended on Friday, 13th March, though Warner Bros. Games has not yet formally confirmed the layoffs. Eurogamer has reached out to the company for comment but received no response at the time of reporting. These developments align with remarks from Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, who noted that Paramount's outbid for control of Warner Bros.—including its games division over Netflix—would be dependent on a lot of cost-cutting. Warner Bros. has faced challenges in gaming for some time. Its 2025 Q1 earnings report showed a 48 percent drop in games revenue, attributed to no new releases. This follows several setbacks: cancellation of a Hogwarts Legacy expansion, layoffs at Rocksteady after Suicide Squad's poor performance, cancellation of Monolith Productions' Wonder Woman game, and the shutdown of Multiversus. The company's most recent earnings report described 2025 as a significant year and mentioned rebuilding its video game pipeline after acquisition by Paramount Skydance. However, the broader Studios segment, including gaming, experienced a 14 percent year-on-year revenue decline.
