Another Batman title is also in development under Warner Media, Gotham Knights. It’s an online co-op title starring Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Red Hood.

Warner Media, the publisher of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, currently has a slate of games at various stages of development. Hogwarts Legacy, a RPG based off the Harry Potter franchise, has been the subject of controversy due to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s transphobic views. Also, a lead designer for Hogwarts Legacy left the project after facing criticism for his far-right YouTube channel. TT Games, the developer behind Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, is reportedly struggling with delays, mismanagement, and crunch. Warner Media also publishes Back 4 Blood and the Hitman games.
