Overview

  • The publisher has organized its operations into four divisions dedicated to Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat and the DC Universe.
  • Yves Lachance, Shaun Himmerick and Steven Flenory have been promoted to senior vice president roles overseeing franchise development, tech operations and services.
  • Warner Bros. Games confirmed that no layoffs or executive exits occurred during the restructure that follows the closure of three internal studios this year.
  • The move aims to reverse a 48 percent decline in Q1 2025 revenue attributed to the underperformance and absence of major releases such as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
  • The overhaul sets the studio up under Warner Bros. Discovery’s upcoming Streaming & Studios division with a focus on long-term franchise roadmaps.
