It seems that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Has Caused Warner Bros. Games to Lose 41% during the last fiscal quarter, or at least all the clues point to the ill-fated title from Rocksteady Studios.
Of course, since this is a comparison on an annual basis it is clear that Few could compete with Hogwarts Legacywhich in the same period in 2023 led to a strong growth in the publisher’s earnings, ending up selling something like 24 million copies.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, for its part, has achieved disappointing sales by Warner Bros.’s own admission, which invested significant sums in the development of a game that should have also been able to count on the popularity of James Gunn’s film, which in turn achieved miserable results at the box office.
Overall, the situation for Warner Bros. Discovery was not idyllic in the last quarter: the turnover was 9.7 billion dollars but compared to total losses of 10 billionof which 9.1 related to impairment charges.
Gaming division at risk?
According to rumors, Warner Bros. Discovery may soon sell its video game division to raise cash and try to solve his current problems in this waybut it’s not the first time that a similar solution has been discussed and we don’t know how much sense it would make to get rid of franchises like Hogwarts Legacy.
In general, the intellectual properties that Warner Bros. can count on They have enormous potential: it would be enough to exploit it in a sensible way, which is basically the opposite of what was done with Kill the Justice League and its live service setting.
