After practically disappearing for two years, Warner Bros. Games will 'return to some of [its] biggest franchises' starting next year

With Warner Bros. deep in the bidding wars, potentially being acquired by Netflix or Paramount, all the discussion has been on the company's film and TV divisions. In fact, Netflix's $83 billion deal shockingly "didn’t attribute any value" to Warner Bros. venture into gaming, despite Hogwarts Legacy raking in over 15 million copies sold and $1 billion in earnings by May 2023. That makes it one of the best-selling games of all time.

Admittedly, Hogwarts Legacy and Mortal Kombat 1, released later in 2023, have been Warner Bros. Games' only real bright spots over the past few years, aside from Lego Games. Since then, it's launched the infamous Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, re-released MultiVersus (which didn't fare any better the second time around), and ported a bunch of games to the Nintendo Switch. Oh, and don't forget about Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions, because I know I did.

While I wish Perrette were referring to a sequel to Avalanche's Mad Max game over ten years later, instead, I assume he's thinking more about future Harry Potter games, Mortal Kombat, and potentially getting Rocksteady back in Arkham. In other words, Warner Bros. Games' biggest hits. Probably not Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League 2, though—I think it's a safe bet that's not going to happen.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
