President of Warner Bros. GamesDavid HadadIt turns out that he will retire. Overseas mediaVarietyIs reported.
Is it caused by "Suicide Squad"?
David Hadad has led Warner Bros. Games since 2013. Despite staying in Warner Brothers Discovery for three months to search for official recognition and takeover business, he has been working for about 15 years. Regarding the timing, it is said that we have chosen that the impact on the ongoing projects and plans is minimal.
The reason for retirement is said to be due to the fact that Warner Bros. Games has been in trouble for a while. In 2023, "Hogwarts Legacy" was a great success, but the "Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League" released in 2024 was a record upset.
Warner Brothers Discovery doesn't want to let go of the game business, but focuses on live services and mobile titles such as "Game of Slones: Conquest" from AAA games, which takes a lot of time from production to release. It is reported that it is a policy. This policy has been told around 2024.
It is said that the IPs to handle are "Harry Potter", "Game of Thrones", "Mortal Kombat", and DC Universe.
