6 Cartoon Network Games Have Been Delisted
Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant fan backlash. Without explanation, 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. This leaves fans unable to legally purchase these beloved games.
This action is linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, which have previously impacted films and TV shows. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, affecting several Adult Swim games, though public pressure led to some titles being reinstated. This time, however, at least six games vanished on December 23rd, 2024, with only brief notices stating their removal.
The following Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games are no longer available for purchase:
- 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
Interestingly, some Cartoon Network Games remain available, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, and even the soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes persists. The lack of explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games regarding this delisting has fueled fan frustration, particularly concerning Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, whose removal effectively cuts off access to the show's canonical ending.
The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, debuted in April 2014. Other titles, like Steven Universe: Save the Light and OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes, were released in 2018, with Steven Universe: Unleash the Light following in 2021. This recent delisting follows a similar incident in March 2024, highlighting a pattern of sudden removals without prior notice.
