From what he’s heard, WB Discovery would sell the studios and then license its IPs to other games companies. So, rather than make new DC or Harry Potter games in-house it would commission third party studios to develop them instead.
Aside from the obvious suspects like Microsoft and Sony, other companies who have supposedly shown an interest are EA, Tencent, Take-Two, NetEase, and PUBG Corporation. Interested parties include EA, Take-Two, Microsoft, Sony, Tencent, Netease, and PUBG Corp. WBD wants to sell studios and license IP, supposedly.
