Adult Swim Games, now owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, has delisted even more of its games on Steam. Zenzizenzic, Traverser, Super House of Dead Ninjas, and Mega Coin Squad will disappear from the platform on July 15.

This news comes from a statement that was posted on each of the games’ pages (as spotted by PCGamesN). The note is the same on each, announcing that Adult Swim Games would no longer be the publisher, with the developer unable to take over management of the page. The statement reads as follows.

Adult Swim is no longer able to continue as publisher for this game and the developer is not available to take over as publisher at this time. As a result, [game title inserted] will be shut down on July 15th, 2024.

Thanks for playing.

Super House of Dead Ninjas studio Megadev (now Bitmap Bureau), said on X (formerly Twitter) that it’s looking into buying back the IP rights for the game, but hasn’t received a reply from Warner Bros. The original Zenzizenzic, Mega Coin Squad, and Traverser developers are no longer in operation.

Adult Swim titles started getting delisted in March. Polygon interviewed affected developers, who had seemingly different experiences with Warner Bros. Discovery. Soundodger+‘s Michael Molinari said that a representative wouldn’t transfer ownership back to him. Owen Deery of Small Radios, Big Televisions put up the game to download for free after receiving the news it would get delisted.

It appeared Warner Bros. Discovery reversed the decision in May, returning ownership of Soundodger+ and Small Radios to the developers.

Adult Swim Games has been basically a defunct arm of the late-night Cartoon Network channel since its last game, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, released in 2020. The website is still up, but hasn’t been updated since then.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery is still in the video game business, focusing on established IP and live service with the character fighting game MultiVersus, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Hogwarts Legacy.

Gotham Knights is unplayable on Steam following latest update
Red Hood fights a Talon in Gotham Knights.

Gotham Knights players are reporting that the game is no longer playable on Steam following the latest software update.

Fans took to social media outlets to complain about the problem that began last night, when they downloaded an update with a patch that would improve keyboard issues, co-op gameplay problems, and overall game stability -- all complaints that cropped up since Gotham Knights launched last week. According to PC Gamer, the patch temporarily removed controversial anti-piracy software Denuvo on Wednesday, but when it was patched back in 15 hours later, the update rendered the game unplayable.

A character roster of WB characters.

Warner Bros. Games has announced that the open beta for MultiVersus, its own free-to-play spin  on Super Smash Bros., will begin on July 26 (just a day before Bugs Bunny's birthday). The game will also get an early access period starting on July 19.

The announcement of MultiVersus' open beta comes with a new gameplay trailer, giving us a closer look at the multifarious attack techniques each character brings to the battlefield, as well their unlockable skins and variants. Some cosmetics are spot on, like Bugs' What's Opera, Doc? costume, while others are bizarre, like Iron Giant, who will be playable at the start of the early access period, wearing flamingo floaties and swim trunks.

The Breaker towers over common zombies in Back 4 Blood.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment just released a Back 4 Blood road map of updates slated for later this year and into the next. The publisher tweeted out these end-of-year plans for the zombie multiplayer, with small details on soon-to-come features and content.

This month's updates mostly include quality-of-life improvements and major bug fixes. December introduces fresh features like supply lines, a Ridden Practice area, and a solo offline mode with campaign progression. This winter update also incorporates new card types and cards into the game's card system, which should mix up the meta as it is now.
