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 platforms like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. This digital purge affects at least six games, leaving fans unable to legally purchase these beloved titles.

This action is linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, mirroring previous decisions to shelve films and remove content from streaming services. A similar delisting event in March 2024, impacting Adult Swim games like Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality, prompted public outcry and resulted in some titles being reinstated. However, this latest wave, affecting games released between 2014 and 2021, has left many fans frustrated.

The December 23rd delisting 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, the lack of explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games regarding these removals fuels ongoing fan discontent. The delisting of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is particularly upsetting, as it contains the canonical conclusion to the show's fifth season. The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, debuted in April 2014. This latest incident follows a pattern of abrupt content removal by the company, highlighting concerns about the preservation of digital games and their cultural significance.
