July 11, 2021 After rumours spread again about NetherRealm and TT Games, Warner Bros has now confirmed it's keeping all its remaining studios.
Following the big Warner Bros Discovery merger this year, a big concern was regarding the fate of the various WB Games studios - which include Netherrealm (Mortal Kombat), Rocksteady (Suicide Squad, Batman Arkham), TT Games (LEGO Star Wars), and Avalanche (Hogwarts Legacy). Rumours continue to spring up suggesting some would be sold, but Warner Bros has now confirmed that won't be the case - with one exception.
Earlier this month Warner Bros announced it would merge with Discovery, but the one thing left off in the massive press release was the fate of its games division - other than a brief mention. The reports were that WB Games would keep some studios but not all, with that finally coming true this week with the news that WB was selling Golf Clash developer Playdemic to EA for $1.4 billion in cash.
Hidden at the end of the press release was a note suggesting that Playdemic will be the only WB Games studio sold, which states that the remaining studios are "included in the recently announced WarnerMedia-Discovery transaction and will become part of the combined media and entertainment company."
