Warner Games' revenue plummeted 48%, new work has caused performance decline

According to Warner Bros. Discovery's first quarter financial report for fiscal year 2025, its gaming business revenue fell 48% year-on-year.This is due to the failure of Suicide Squad: Elimination of Justice League last year to achieve the expected earnings target and the absence of any new games released in the fiscal year.

According to Bloomberg, Warner not only canceled the "ultimate version" of "The Legacy of Hogwarts", but also stopped DLC development.The reason for the cancellation is that the volume of new content is not enough to support pricing.Not only that, the subsequent update of "Suicide Squad: Eliminate Justice League" also encountered the problem of content shrinkage. The final chapter was officially launched in January this year. Players generally reported that the ending was handled too hasty and hasty.After the release of this game, due to the failure of type transformation and repeated changes in development direction, the sales volume eventually ended.Developer Rocksteady subsequently laid off employees and reorganized, and it is rumored to be developing a new Batman single player game.

Warner also cut off the Wonder Woman project, ending the operation of the multiplayer battle game Warner Fight, and closing two studios, Monolith Productions and Player First Games.The above all leads to this old-fashioned large-scale manufacturer's rare quarterly zero issuance dilemma.
