According to a recent Bloomberg report, Warner Bros. has canceled an unannounced paid DLC for the popular game Hogwarts Legacy. The planned story expansion was set to launch this year alongside a "Definitive Edition" of the game. However, the project was scrapped this week, with sources citing that the content volume did not justify the proposed price tag. Warner Bros. declined to comment on the matter when approached by Bloomberg.
This cancellation comes amid a broader restructuring of Warner Bros.' gaming division, driven by ongoing financial challenges. Earlier this year, the company made significant moves, including the cancellation of the anticipated Wonder Woman game and the closure of the developing studio, Monolith Productions. Additionally, WB San Diego and the MultiVersus studio, Player First Games, were also shut down. The company also conducted layoffs at Rocksteady Studios as recently as last September.
Despite these setbacks, Warner Bros. continues to emphasize the importance of Hogwarts Legacy and the Harry Potter franchise as key assets. The company has publicly stated that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is among its top priorities, as it shifts focus toward developing fewer but larger franchises. The original game has achieved remarkable success, selling over 30 million copies worldwide.
