Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has unveiled a significant organizational restructuring that will concentrate its gaming division's efforts on four cornerstone intellectual properties. This strategic shift comes after evaluating player engagement metrics and market performance across its portfolio of beloved franchises.

Following several high-profile disappointments including the premature shutdown of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the closure of MultiVersus, the publisher is implementing changes to strengthen its development pipeline and rebuild consumer confidence. These decisions reflect the growing challenges of live-service game models and shifting player expectations in the current gaming landscape.

According to internal memos and industry reports, the restructured Warner Bros. Games will prioritize:

• The Wizarding World (Harry Potter universe)
• Mortal Kombat fighting game series
• DC Comics superhero properties
• Game of Thrones fantasy franchise

The reorganization includes leadership promotions rather than staff reductions, with NetherRealm Studios veteran Shaun Himmerick assuming oversight of Mortal Kombat and DC projects. Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Games Montreal will spearhead development on new Game of Thrones and Harry Potter titles.

Upcoming projects include Game of Thrones: War for Westeros, a real-time strategy title announced during Summer Game Fest 2025, and a highly anticipated follow-up to Hogwarts Legacy, which surpassed 34 million units sold by early 2025. While details remain scarce, industry analysts speculate about potential multiplayer components in the Wizarding World sequel.
