6 Cartoon Network Games Have Been Delisted

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of multiple Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked widespread fan outrage. Several popular titles, including Steven Universe: Save the Light and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, have been delisted from digital platforms like Steam and the Nintendo eShop without explanation. This leaves fans unable to legally purchase these beloved games.

The delistings are linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, which have previously affected films and TV shows. A similar incident occurred in March 2024, involving Adult Swim games, though public backlash prevented some titles from being removed.

At least six games vanished on December 23rd, 2024. A brief message on affected storefronts simply stated the games would no longer be available for sale, signed by either Cartoon Network Games or Adult Swim Games. The affected titles are:

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 delistings has fueled further criticism. The removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is particularly upsetting to fans, as it features the canonical conclusion to the show's fifth season. The oldest title removed, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, dates back to April 2014. Other affected games were released in 2018 and 2021. The silence from the publisher and the lack of transparency surrounding these decisions have only intensified the negative response from the gaming community.
