It was recently revealed that AT&T would be merging its WarnerMedia business with Discovery, which will have major ramifications not only for the two companies, but for the entertainment industry as a whole. One of the several entities impacted by the merger will be Warner Bros. Interactive, the company’s gaming division. Though it’s still not clear how the chips will fall, new reports state that Warner Bros. Games will be split up following the merger with some staying at AT&T and others going to the new company.
As initially reported by IGN, WarnerMedia and Discovery’s $43 billion merger will result in a breakup of Warner Bros. Interactive. The company told IGN that a portion of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be sold off, though the company will retain some. It wasn’t shared what specific studios will be sold, and which ones will be staying put.
