Warner Bros. in demand in the gaming industry in the future focus mainly on live services, free and mobile games. JB Perrett, who serves as head of games and streaming content at WB, boasted about this goal at a Morgan Stanley conference (via Gamespot). Although we’ve heard similar statements from Warner Bros. is a thing of the past, so most players will probably be shaking their heads at it by now. Not long ago we wrote about the extraordinary success of Hogwarts Legycy, which became the best-selling game of last year.
Avalanche Software’s game managed to surpass even the latest Call of Duty or Nintendo’s award-winning Zelda. In this regard, it must be emphasized that Hogwarts Lego is a purely single-player role-playing game that did not receive any additional content after release. On the other side of the imaginary barricade is Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League from Rocksteady, which relied on collaboration and the aforementioned live service model. But they are the result of a long development average ratings in reviews and weak sales, which also signed up for more players shortly after release. Within a few weeks, he managed to drop below 500 active users on Steam.
Following the announcement by the head of WB Games, there has understandably been speculation that a focus on live service games could affect the appearance of Hogwarts Legycy 2, for example, the preparations of which began to be discussed immediately after the release of the first volume. A question mark hangs over the Rocksteady studio, which became famous especially for the Batman Arkham series, which is valued to this day, but its reputation was significantly damaged on the eve of the release of the recently released Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. However, it cannot be ruled out that Warner Bros. Despite the stated focus of some brands, it makes an exception and does not completely disdain traditional single-player AAA games for PC and consoles.
