Warner Bros. Games has confirmed a new leadership structure as it follows its previously revealed strategy of developing games based on the Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, and DC Comics properties.

Three studio heads have been promoted into senior vice president roles, per Variety. Montréal studio head Yves Lachance will be SVP of development on Harry Potter and Game of Thrones-related games.

Shaun Himmerick, studio head of Mortal Kombat developer NetherRealm, will be SVP of development for both that series and games based on DC Comics. Warner previously indicated that “top-tier characters like Batman” were a focus area for DC-related games.

Finally, Warner Bros. Games New York studio chief Steven Flenory will be SVP of central tech & services, with a focus on game and publishing technology, QA, user research and customer service.

All three will report to JB Perrette, CEO of global streaming and games.

“We are very fortunate to have a strong stable of development and technology talent, and Yves, Shaun and Steven are respected leaders with excellent track records in their areas of expertise,” said Perrette in a statement.

“I’m looking forward to working closely with them and the team as we work to make the best games possible for our key franchises.”

Parent company Warner Bros. Discovery recently revealed plans to split into two companies: Streaming & Studios, which includes its gaming business, and Global Networks, which is largely focused on its legacy TV business and will carry the “bulk” of its $37 billion debt.

No layoffs or executive exits have been made as part of the changes, according to Variety.

Warner Bros. Games president David Haddad exited the company back in January. Variety notes it’s unclear if the company is seeking a replacement for his role.

The company also confirmed it was shutting down three studios in February, including long-running studio Monolith Productions, which resulted in the cancellation of its Wonder Woman game.

Rocksteady Studios – best known for the highly-rated singleplayer Batman: Arkham games, before spending nearly a decade making multiplayer game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – made multiple rounds of layoffs following that project missing its financial targets upon release in 2024.

Rocksteady co-founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker left the studio in October 2022, before the game was released.

Warner Bros. Games previously took a $300 million+ writedown on its games business in 2024, which led to the decision to restructure around proven properties.
