Six Beloved Cartoon Network Shows Vanish from Listings

Warner Bros. Discovery's sudden removal of several Cartoon Network and Adult Swim games has sparked significant fan backlash. The company has provided no clear explanation for delisting titles including Steven Universe: Save the Light and Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time, leaving fans unable to legally purchase these popular games.

At least six titles have disappeared from digital storefronts like Steam and the Nintendo eShop. Each game displays a message stating its removal by the publisher, offering no specific reasoning. This action is linked to Warner Bros. Discovery's cost-cutting measures, which have previously impacted films and streaming content. A similar delisting event occurred in March 2024, affecting several Adult Swim indie games, though some were later reinstated due to public pressure.

As reported by Wario64 on Twitter, the recent delistings (December 23rd, 2024) include:

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

Steam listings for these games now display a message indicating their unavailability after December 23rd, 2024. Interestingly, some Cartoon Network titles, such as Cartoon Network Journeys VR and Monsters Ate My Birthday Cake, remain available. The soundtrack for OK K.O.! Let's Play Heroes is also still for sale.

The oldest game affected, Adventure Time: Finn and Jake's Epic Quest, launched in April 2014. Other titles were released between 2018 and 2021. The removal of Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time is particularly controversial, as it features content considered canonical to the show's conclusion. The lack of communication and explanation from Warner Bros. Discovery, Cartoon Network Games, and Adult Swim Games has fueled further fan anger.
