Warner Bros Games' Future: Hogwarts Legacy Sequel

This internal reorganisation did not result in layoffs outside of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's studio, Rocksteady. But if you recall, Monolith, Player First Games and Warner Bros Games San Diego were closed due to a "strategic change"

Similarly, a planned large-scale DLC for Hogwarts Legacy cancelled, beloved fighting game MultiVersus closed and it was confirmed that Mortal Kombat 1's new content would no longer be coming.

Hogwarts Legacy sequel and real-time strategy game Game of Thrones: War for Westeros. In addition, DC Studios CEO James Gunn also announced that they are in talks with Rocksteady and NetherRealm for new DCU games. So a new Batman game or even Injustice 3 could be on the way!

With the recent cancellation of Wonder Woman game, loss and game revenues down 29% down Warner Bros Games is not going through the best of times. Let's see if these new decisions will be enough to save the company.
