After admitting its video games business \u201cis substantially underperforming its potential right now,\u201d Warner Bros. has said it plans to double down on four key titles, namechecking Batman in particular.<\/p>\n

2024 has been a brutal year for Warner Bros. Games, with Rocksteady\u2019s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League\u2019s failure sparking a $200 million hit to revenue, and then Smash Bros.-style brawler MultiVersus flopping to the tune of $100 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a total writedown of over $300 million in Warner Bros.\u2019 games business so far in 2024, and it doesn\u2019t look like the company has a game coming out any time soon that will reverse the trend.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the plan? During a financial call, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said that on the games side of things, the company plans to double down on just four titles, and significantly reduce the number of video games it releases in the process.<\/p>\n

Those games are Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC \u201cin particular Batman,\u201d Zaslav added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re through some of the worst \u2014 and it hasn’t been pretty on the gaming business \u2014 but we have four games that are really powerful and have a real constituency that love them, and we\u2019re going to focus on those four primarily,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to go away from trying to launch 10, 12, 15, 20 different games. I think we have a real chance now with focus to have the gaming business be steadier.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have four strong and profitable game franchises with loyal, global fans: Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones, and DC in particular Batman. We are focusing our development efforts on those core franchises, with proven studios to improve our success ratio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The obvious highlight there is Batman. Controversial live service looter shooter Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League\u2019s failure was in part due to it not being yet another single-player Batman Arkham game, which developer Rocksteady is best-known for. Warner Bros. Games just released a VR-exclusive Batman Arkham game. Could Rocksteady now be set to return to Batman after Suicide Squad\u2019s struggles?<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Bloomberg<\/a> reported that staff at Rocksteady were currently working on a director\u2019s cut of the phenomenally successful Hogwarts Legacy<\/a>, while leadership pitches a return to single-player following its live service misstep. Could that pitch have involved Batman, and been successful?<\/p>\n

It may be some time before we find out. In the shorter term, Warner Bros. has confirmed development on a Hogwarts Legacy sequel and it has a Wonder Woman game in the works at Monolith Productions.<\/p>\n

NetherRealm\u2019s Mortal Kombat 1 released in September last year, and fans are wondering what it\u2019s up to next. In September, NetherRealm development chief Ed Boon confirmed the studio had decided on its next game three years ago<\/a>, but insisted it was \u201cstill fully committed to supporting Mortal Kombat 1 for a long time to come.\u201d Most fans of the studio\u2019s work expect it to release a third game in its DC fighting game franchise, Injustice, although neither NetherRealm nor owner and publisher Warner Bros. has yet to confirm that.<\/p>\n
