Staff Report Layoffs at WB Games Montréal After March 13 Cuts

The unconfirmed cuts mirror wider cost pressures on Warner Bros.’ games arm following steep revenue declines.

Overview

  • Multiple former employees said on LinkedIn that their roles were made redundant on March 13 across narrative, design, and production.
  • Warner Bros. Games has not confirmed the reported job losses, and outlets say they have requested comment.
  • At least three developers publicly disclosed their departures on March 13, with one explicitly attributing it to a round of layoffs.
  • The studio behind Gotham Knights and Batman: Arkham Origins has faced previous reductions, including 99 layoffs in 2024.
  • Reports place the moves in the context of a 48% drop in games revenue in 2025 Q1, a 14% year‑on‑year decline in the broader Studios segment, and acquisition‑related expectations of cost cutting after Paramount Skydance outbid Netflix.
