In recent months WB Games had made a lot of talk about itself in the context of a possible sale in favor of Take-Two Interactive, Activision Blizzard, Electronic Arts or Microsoft, the latter particularly interested in acquiring its precious IPs. Plagued by a huge amount of debt, AT&T she had moved to sell the company and recover economically, only to then officially turn around.
It was to break the news in the past few hours Bloomberg, that in the latest report he explains how the telecommunications giant has removed the assets of Warner Bros. Games from the market. Apparently the new CEO John Stankey has decided to keep WB Games in the ownership of the company, unlike previous president Randall Stephenson, now resigned. According to the well-known financial portal, Stankey would have said that the company is still a strategic element of AT & T's assets due to its value and great potential for commercial growth.
It cannot be ruled out that the desire to sell the software house may again be questioned in the near future. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment owns various intellectual properties related to the world of video games, such as Mortal Kombat, Harry Potter, Lego, Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings and Batman, including all characters from the DC world. Probably the great sales success of the latter has convinced the Texan collective, while in the near future other products will arrive such as Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
► Gotham Knights is an RPG-type scrolling-adventure game developed and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, will be released in 2021
