Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games from digital storefronts has sparked significant fan backlash. Popular titles like Steven Universe: Save the Light and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time are among those now unavailable for purchase. The publisher offered no clear explanation for the delistings.
At least six games were affected, disappearing from platforms such as Steam and the Nintendo eShop. A generic message indicated publisher removal, leaving fans unable to legally acquire these beloved titles. This action is consistent with Warner Bros. Discovery's recent cost-cutting measures, which have included shelving films and removing content from streaming services. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, targeting Adult Swim games, although some were later reinstated due to public pressure.
The December 23rd delistings included:
Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest Adventure Time: Magic Man's Head Games OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time Steven Universe: Save the Light Steven Universe: Unleash the Light
While some Cartoon Network Games remain available (e.g., Cartoon Network Journeys VR), the lack of communication from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games regarding the removals has fueled fan frustration. The removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, particularly, is upsetting as it contained the canonical conclusion to the show's fifth season. Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, the oldest game delisted, dates back to April 2014. Other titles were released in 2018 and 2021. Even the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes remains available, highlighting the arbitrary nature of the delistings. The situation mirrors the March 2024 incident, underscoring the ongoing concerns about the company's handling of its digital game catalog.
