Paramount is under a 14-day temporary restraining order blocking its hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, with a preliminary injunction hearing set for August 3. Separately, Paramount Skydance has formed a new internal game studio, Paramount Games Studio, and plans to reveal its first AAA title at Summer Game Fest 2026.
A federal judge issued a 14-day temporary restraining order on Paramount's hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, blocking the merger from closing on July 22. The order came in response to a lawsuit from a 12-state coalition led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who argues the deal violates antitrust law by combining two of the top three cable programmers and two of the top five film distributors. A hearing for a preliminary injunction is set for August 3, and the states are seeking a longer block that could derail the deal entirely.
Separately, in early June, Paramount Skydance announced the formation of a new internal game studio, Paramount Games Studio. The studio consolidates two existing studios and Paramount's intellectual property. Amy Hennig moved from co-president of Skydance New Media to studio creative director. The first AAA title from the new studio is set to be revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026. Skydance New Media continues work on two previously announced projects: Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra and an untitled Star Wars game.
