Warner Bros Discovery's gaming division will be taking a new direction in the future according to CEO J.B. Perrette. While at a speaking event, the CEO stated that WB Games will lean more on free-to-play, mobile, live service games which they believe to be more profitable.
Currently, WB Games focuses mostly on AAA games and found massive success with Hogwarts Legacy. However, with some recent bombs, including Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the decision is being made to step away from the more volatile AAA market to a more consistent area like live service games.
According to Perrette, "Rather than just launching a one-and-done console game, how do we develop a game around, for example, a Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter, that is a live-service where people can live and work and build and play in that world in an ongoing basis?"
