Haddad will remain for 3 months, while Warner Bros. studies his successor.
Warner Bros. has announced that David Haddad, who has served as the president of WB Games for the past 12 years, is leaving the company. He will officially depart in April after the company finds his successor.
Warner Bros. made the announcement internally today, as reported via Variety. Warner Bros. Games CEO JB Perrette addressed the move in his statement.
According to the report, WB leadership stated that there are no intentions to sell off its gaming division, denying rumors that had been circulating in recent years. This announcement comes after the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in 2023. The game was a critical and financial disappointment, with WB saying it fell short of expectations.
