Monolith Productions, which was making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/wonder_woman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wonder Woman<\/a>, was closed and the game cancelled, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/multiversus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MultiVersus<\/a> studio Player First Games and WB Games San Diego were also shuttered.<\/p>\n<p>It was all part of a restructuring of the business to focus in on its major franchises, namely Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, DC, and Game of Thrones.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it seems we&#8217;ll be seeing some of these brands coming back to the gaming sphere in the not-too-distant future.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/biz\/news\/warner-bros-discovery-david-zaslav-hbo-sale-1236673449\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Variety<\/a>, JB Perrette, who heads up games at Warner Bros., says the next couple of years will see it bounce back with some big titles.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The real fruits will start coming in in \u201927-\u201928 when we return to some of our biggest franchises,&#8221; he said, stopping short of saying what they are.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not too difficult to guess, however; with HBO&#8217;s Harry Potter series on the way and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/hogwarts_legacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hogwarts Legacy<\/a> having been a major hit, a sequel is a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p>Less clear is what&#8217;s coming next from Rocksteady Studios, which took a big swing with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/suicide_squad_kill_the_justice_league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League<\/a> in 2024. Presumably, the team is working on something much safer now, and likely DC-related.<\/p>\n<p>Perrette also highlights a couple of key games for this year with the highly anticipated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/lego_batman_legacy_of_the_dark_knight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight<\/a>, as well as a mobile game based on the Game of Thrones universe.<\/p>\n<p>What do you hope to see from WB Games in the future?
