Earlier this 12 months, Warner Bros shut down three studios, Monolith Productions, Participant First Video games, and Warner Bros San Diego Studios. We knew what two out of these three groups was engaged on, and a brand new report from Sacred Symbols podcast host, Colin Moriarty, appears to disclose what the third was engaged on.
The San Diego Warner Bros staff was the one studio out of the closures that had but to launch a recreation in any respect. It opened in 2019, and on the time Warner Bros stated it will be engaged on cellular video games with its San Diego studio. That may later change over the course of the studio’s life, nonetheless.
In accordance with Moriarty, the sport that the San Diego staff was engaged on was a Mario Kart-like racer, that might’ve introduced collectively characters from throughout Warner Bros IP library, equally to how MultiVersus introduced collectively characters from varied Warner Bros. franchises.
Warner Bros had the Tremendous Smash Bros.-like in MultiVersus, so it’s subsequent step was to make the Mario Kart-like, with what would have been known as “WB Racers,” Moriarty claims per a supply that spoke to him.
We by no means acquired to listen to something about this recreation although, and San Diego was shut down earlier than it acquired the possibility to truly get it out the door. Some extent that builders who labored on the San Diego studio took nice subject with, particularly since they noticed MultiVersus launch twice, based on Moriarty.
“There was fairly a little bit of animosity internally, with individuals who labored on the sport who felt that it was unfair that their sister staff, Participant First acquired to launch MultiVersus twice once they by no means acquired a shot to launch in any respect in spite of everything of that work,” stated Moriarty.
