Wednesday Gaming – Studio Closures, AI, Sims 4 Update and MORE!

Catch up on the latest news, rumours and announcements from the world of video games, tech and entertainment:

– Warner Bros. Games are closing three of its development studios: Monolith Productions, Player First Games and Warner Bros. Games San Diego. According to a statement, these closures form part of “a strategic change in direction, and not a reflection of these teams or the talent that consists within them.”

– With Monolith Productions being shut down, a “Wonder Woman” video game that was being developed by the Washington-based studio has also been cancelled.

– According to recent updates on the Steam pages for two “Call of Duty” titles – “Black Ops 6” and “Warzone” – Activision has revealed that it has used generative AI to produce in-game assets.

– “The Sims 4” base game has just received another update, reintroducing burglars into the series. To help players defend against these intruders, burglar alarms and police officer NPCs have been introduced. Additionally, there are exciting new interactions, such as dogs chasing off burglars and scientists using the Freeze Ray to incapacitate them.

– The rating for the popular deck-building roguelite game, “Balatro”, has been changed from PEGI 18 to PEGI 12 following a successful appeal by publisher Sold Out Sales and Marketing.
