Warner Bros. Games has announced that its mobile title Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem will be taken offline on October 15, 2026. The developer confirmed the decision in a statement posted on the game’s official website, citing the end of the title’s operational lifecycle.

The game, a turn based role playing and collection title featuring classic Warner Bros. cartoon characters, launched in 2018 for iOS and Android platforms. It allowed players to build teams of Looney Tunes characters, including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig, and compete in player versus environment and player versus player modes.

Shutdown timeline and player impact

According to the official announcement, in app purchases have already been disabled. The game will remain playable for existing users until the shutdown date, but no new content or updates will be released from this point forward. After October 15, 2026, the game will no longer be accessible, and all player data will be permanently deleted.

The company did not disclose specific reasons for the closure beyond the standard end of life process. However, the mobile gaming industry routinely sees older titles sunsetted as developer focus shifts to newer projects or as licensing agreements expire.

For players who have invested time and money into the game, Warner Bros. did not announce any refund program or data transfer options. The statement largely focused on thanking the community for its support over the past eight years.

Industry context

Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem is one of several mobile games based on the Looney Tunes franchise. Its closure follows a broader trend in which major entertainment companies have reevaluated their mobile gaming portfolios. Warner Bros. has itself restructured several gaming units in recent years, including cancelling multiple projects and closing studios.

The mobile game market remains highly competitive, and older games often struggle to maintain enough active users to justify ongoing server and development costs. Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem did not appear in major revenue charts in recent years, suggesting that its player base may have declined significantly.

Warner Bros. continues to develop and support other mobile titles, including those based on its DC and Harry Potter properties. The company has not announced any plans to replace Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem with a new Looney Tunes mobile game.

What comes next for players

With purchases already disabled, the remaining months of the game will function as a final period for players to use existing resources and complete unfinished objectives. The company has advised players to manage their in game currencies and items before the servers are taken offline.

Warner Bros. has not indicated whether any offline or single player version of the game will be made available. The shutdown appears to be a full termination of all online services, meaning the title will become completely unplayable.

Players can expect the official Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem website and support channels to remain active until the shutdown date, after which they will likely be closed. The company has not specified whether community forums or social media accounts will be preserved.
