It seems Warner Bros. Interactive is look for a new home. WB videogame division is being sold by AT&T to make for the amount of 200 billion debt service. This has many other looking at the studio from EA to Activision.
Now with that being said this might have you wondering what the fate of the ne Batman Game will be. Even today we hear news of the game being announced soon with that on repeat each day or week. But will this news effect the game even if as the news suggest it is being developed by WB Montreal?
It could effected. The idea of an announcement in the future shows they have something to show. But how this will effect production is up in the air as we don’t know how far along they are. We will have to see as we await more news on this story to unfold.
“AT&T is reportedly looking to sell Warner Bros’ gaming division, with companies like EA, Activision, and Take-Two Interactive all interested in possibly striking a $4 billion deal. The report comes way of CNBC, which cites multiple sources, and claims that the multinational conglomerate holding company is looking at divesting assets to service a debt nearing $200 billion. If a deal goes through, Batman, LEGO, Mortal Kombat, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and more games could soon have a new home.
CNBC’s sources are not disclosed in order to protect their identity, and the outlet notes that a deal is not assured or imminent, but there is interest from the aforementioned parties, and soon more could look to splash some cash to acquire some of the biggest game developers in the industry and some of the most coveted IP. However, it sounds like AT&T is interested in a deal that involves commercial licensing — similar to what EA has with Disney for Star Wars — this way it can continue to get revenue from its IP after the sale.”
