Montreal, Quebec — Warner Bros. Games Montréal has reportedly laid off developers across several teams, prompting concern across the studio’s workforce.
According to a report circulating Monday from layoff-tracking account WhatLayoff, the Montréal-based studio has cut employees across multiple development disciplines. The exact number of workers affected has not been confirmed.
Warner Bros. Games Montréal, located in Quebec’s largest city, is known for developing major titles including Gotham Knights and supporting projects across the broader Warner Bros. interactive entertainment portfolio.
Details about which departments were impacted remain limited. The report indicates that multiple development roles were affected, though neither the studio nor its parent company has publicly confirmed the scope of the reductions.
Warner Bros. Games operates several studios globally, including teams in Montréal, Boston, Chicago, and other locations. The company develops and publishes titles tied to major franchises such as DC Comics, Harry Potter, and Mortal Kombat.
The reported layoffs come as the video game industry continues to experience widespread workforce reductions across major publishers and independent studios. Over the past two years, thousands of game developers globally have been affected by restructuring, project cancellations, and shifts in studio investment strategies.
It remains unclear whether the Montréal cuts are tied to specific projects or broader corporate restructuring within Warner Bros. Games.
For younger developers, students, and early-career tech workers in Montréal’s growing game industry, studio layoffs can signal shifts in hiring and project pipelines across the region’s development ecosystem.
Additional details may emerge as the company or affected employees provide confirmation.
