MultiVersus er en af grundene til at Warner Bros. Interactive taber millioner

Hogwarts Legacy var et massivt hit, men takket være primært Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League og nu også det relancerede MultiVersus, så har Warner Bros. Interactive haft meget svært ved at genskabe bare en flig af den succes. Det betyder også at de lige nu bløder penge.

For nylig skulle de stå skoleret overfor deres investorer (via VGC) og her siger chef David Zaslav at selv medregnet at spil ofte kan floppe uden at de er direkte dårlige, så har studierne haft svært ved at ramme plet:

"Even in an industry of hits and misses, we must acknowledge that our Studios business must deliver more consistently. This applies to our games business, which we recognise is substantially underperforming its potential right now. We have four strong and profitable game franchises with loyal, global fans - Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat, Game of Thrones and DC, in particular Batman. We are focusing our development efforts on those four core franchises with proven studios to improve our success ratio."

Det ser virkelig ikke godt ud for MultiVersus, som er blevet peget ud som en stor økonomisk fiasko:

"Results were impacted by games, for which we took another $100+ million impairment due to the underperforming releases - primarily MultiVersus - this quarter, bringing total writedown year-to-date to over $300 million in our games business, the key factor in this year's Studios profit decline."

Vi regner med at det næste store spil de lancerer bliver Wonder Woman.
