Warner Bros. Plans Another Online Game After Suicide Squad Failure

In recent years, many game companies have tried to create live service games. A live service game is an online game that keeps getting new updates and content for players over a long period of time. Popular examples are Fortnite and Roblox. These games can earn a lot of money if they become very popular, but many studios have not been so lucky. Even big games like Destiny 2 have struggled to keep players interested.

Warner Bros. has not given up on this idea. Even after losing hundreds of millions of dollars on games like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Multiversus, the company is trying again. A new job posting at WB Games Montreal, the studio behind Gotham Knights, shows they are hiring someone to lead a new live service game. This new game will be based on one of the famous characters or stories from Warner Bros. or DC Comics, but they have not revealed which one yet.

The person hired will need to manage everything from the early ideas to ongoing updates after the game launches. Warner Bros. wants someone who understands how to keep players interested with fresh content and events. This job posting makes it clear that the new project will focus on keeping the game alive for a long time after it comes out.

Earlier this year, there were reports that Rocksteady, another studio known for Batman games, might return to making singleplayer games. Now it seems WB Games Montreal will take on the challenge of creating the next big online game. This is happening even after layoffs at the studio following the failure of Suicide Squad. Some people wonder if another live service game is a good idea, but Warner Bros. is hoping for better luck this time.
