After revealing last November that it wanted to focus on transforming its biggest franchises into live-action services, Warner Bros. now he repeated it on Morgan Stanley Conference earlier this week.
According to WB Discovery’s head of gaming, JB Perrette, it’s no longer about launching a “one-off console game” but instead focuses on a live service where players can live, work, build, play and return regularly:
“Instead of just launching a one-off console game, how do we develop a game around, say, Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter, and it’s a live service where people can live and work and build and play in that world on a permanent basis basically?”
While there are plenty of AAA development success stories, Perrette believes it’s a “volatile” market. And although the recent release of Warner Bros Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a financial declinethis still seems to be the model he wants to focus on in the future.
Recent titles like Mortal Kombat 1 have also continued to deliver new seasonal content updates to keep players coming back. It was added yesterday The Peacemaker (with the character and voice of John Cena). The company seems to be a free brawler MultiVersus is also set to restore.
