Now, EA has purchased mobile developer Playdemic from WB Games for $1.4 billion in cash- so what does that mean for other studios at WB Games?
Currently, nearly all studios at WB Games are working on franchises owned by Warner Bros. WB Games Montreal is working on Gotham Knights, Rocksteady is working on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Avalanche Productions is working on Hogwarts Legacy.
In the press release announcing the Playdemic acquisition, WB Games David Haddad said that the company’s studios are going to focus on working with Warner Bros. own IPs, and that Playdemic’s sale is a part of that strategy.
There’s no word currently on what exactly is in the works at Monolith Productions, developer of Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel.
