The head of Warner Bros Games, David Haddad, will leave his position after a notable 12 years. He plans to stay on for an additional three months while the company searches for a successor to guide them through ongoing challenges.

Haddad expressed pride in his accomplishments, stating:

“I am so proud of everything we’ve accomplished together at Warner Bros Games during my time with the company. It has been an absolute pleasure working on and building our iconic gaming franchises, and I will continue to be an enthusiastic supporter of this talented team’s future endeavors.”

This news comes after the disappointing performance of the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which faced criticism after nearly nine years of development and has been described as one of the industry’s largest flops.

Despite this challenge, in 2023, Warner Bros Games achieved significant success with the release of the highly successful Hogwarts Legacy, continuing its legacy with franchises such as Mortal Kombat. Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav highlighted the company’s intent to focus on standout titles moving forward:

“We’re through some of the worst—and it hasn’t been pretty on the gaming business—but we have four games that are really powerful. We’re going to go away from trying to launch 10, 12, 15, 20 different games. I think we have a real chance now with focus to have the gaming business be steadier.”
