Warner Bros. - WB Interactive Game Studios Could Soon Be for Sale

by Silver, 08:06

Gamerant reports that the recent acquisition of Warner Bros. Interactive, in turn becoming Warner Bros. Discovery, has led to a re-evaluation of its game studios. Selling the studios is potentially on the board but Warner Bros. Discovery will keep the IP.

The report comes from Fanbyte Media's Imran Khan, who says that he's "hearing a decent bit of chatter" regarding WB Discovery's new plans. Khan explains that WB Discovery's shopping its game studios around. The list of studios at Warner Bros. Interactive currently includes Hogwarts Legacy studio Avalanche Software, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor dev Monolith Productions, Mortal Kombat creator NetherRealm Studios, Batman: Arkham and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League studio Rocksteady Studios, as well as TT Games, and WB studios in Montreal, Boston, New York, San Diego, and San Francisco.

It should come as no surprise that a list of parties is already interested in potentially acquiring one of WB Discovery's game studios, a list that Khan has also shared online. Both Microsoft and Sony are on the list, unsurprisingly, as they're both aggressively acquiring studios for Xbox and PlayStation, respectively. Other interested parties include Electronic Arts, Netease, Take-Two, Tencent, and even PUBG Corp. Needless to say, if Warner Bros. Discovery does sell its studios then it can expect some aggressive bids.
