There’s some buzz in the gaming world as Warner Bros appears to have nixed plans for an expansion of “Hogwarts Legacy.” According to Bloomberg’s insights, this expansion was supposed to roll out alongside a Definitive Edition of the Harry Potter action RPG, promising fresh storylines for fans to dive into.
The decision to pull the plug reportedly stemmed from concerns that the content didn’t quite offer enough to match the price tag they had in mind. This additional content was being crafted by Avalanche Software, the original developers of the game, with collaboration from Rocksteady. Interestingly, Avalanche is said to be channeling their efforts into developing a sequel for the beloved Harry Potter game.
Rocksteady, on the other hand, has been tightening its belt, following some layoffs prompted by the end of support for next year’s “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.”
Looking back, Warner Bros openly admitted last year that their gaming division wasn’t exactly hitting home runs. In fact, they had to write off a whopping $200 million on the development of “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.” To add to the shake-up, Warner Bros shuttered three of its studios, including the well-known Monolith, and saw the exit of their long-standing leader, David Haddad. It’s clear that the gaming arm of Warner Bros is navigating a tricky landscape.
