- In 2025, Warner Bros. Games reorganized its leadership and operations to prioritize development on four major intellectual properties: the Wizarding World, the fantasy series set in Westeros, the superhero universe, and the fighting game franchise.
- This restructuring followed a series of underperforming launches, a $200 million writedown in 2024, and the announced departure of David Haddad in January 2025.
- The company promoted studio heads Yves Lachance, Shaun Himmerick, and Steven Flenory to senior vice president roles aligned with these franchises, with all reporting to CEO JB Perrette.
- CEO Perrette emphasized the company's efforts to restructure its team for creating strategic plans aimed at enhancing the experience for fans and players of major franchises, while also commending the skilled leadership and talented individuals within Warner Bros. Games.
- The restructuring aims to stabilize the gaming division without layoffs amid Warner Bros. Discovery's planned corporate split, which will position the games unit under the streaming and studios company.
