WB Games splits up into franchise-focused DC, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter divisions

Earlier this year, Warner Bros made the shocking decision to shut down Monolith Productions, the studio behind the patented ‘Nemesis’ system, as well as massive single-player hits like Lord of the Rings: Shadow of Mordor and F.E.A.R. Now, more changes have been announced for the WB Games division, with the company splitting up into a number of divisions. 

WB Games will now double down on its biggest franchises. The publisher is being split up into four divisions to oversee different franchises. One will oversee DC Universe projects, another will focus on Mortal Kombat, another on Harry Potter and a fourth division will lead work on Game of Thrones video games, of which there are surprisingly few on the market.

As you would expect, NetherRealm will fall into the Mortal Kombat division, while Rocksteady will continue to be heavily involved with DC. PortKey Games (Hogwarts Legacy) will be at the Harry Potter division. It is unclear if there is any true creative force behind the new ‘Game of Thrones’ division at this stage.

This is all part of a larger restructuring going on at Warner Bros. Discovery. The newly merged company is now splitting up across the board with new divisions focused on streaming, traditional network TV and other key areas of focus.

KitGuru Says: I hope we start to hear some positive news on what Rocksteady is working on next. A return to Batman would certainly win fans back over.
