Warner Bros. Games Targets 2027–2028 Return for Flagship Franchises

JB Perrette calls 2025 a reset, refocusing development on four core brands.

Overview

  • Perrette said the “real fruits” of the company’s reset will arrive in 2027–2028 as it returns to its biggest franchises.
  • Only two releases are publicly slated for 2026: LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and a Game of Thrones mobile game.
  • Warner Bros. reorganized its games division around four verticals: Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and the DC Universe.
  • WB Games has stated that a follow-up to Hogwarts Legacy is a top priority after the first game’s strong sales, though no release window is confirmed.
  • Industry reporting notes that active acquisition interest in Warner Bros. Discovery from Netflix and Paramount/Skydance could disrupt the division’s long-term plans.
