According to a recent Bloomberg report, Warner Bros. has canceled an unannounced paid DLC for the popular game, Hogwarts Legacy. The planned story expansion was set to launch this year, coinciding with the release of a "Definitive Edition" of the game. However, the decision to cancel came this week, with sources citing that the content volume did not justify the proposed price tag. Warner Bros. chose not to comment on the matter when approached by Bloomberg.

This cancellation comes at a time when Warner Bros. is undergoing significant restructuring within its gaming division, driven by ongoing financial challenges. Earlier this year, the company made the tough decision to cancel its anticipated Wonder Woman game and shut down the studio behind it, Monolith Productions. Additionally, WB San Diego and the studio responsible for MultiVersus, Player First Games, were also closed. The layoffs at Rocksteady in September further underscore the financial pressures the company is facing.

Despite these setbacks, Warner Bros. continues to emphasize the importance of Hogwarts Legacy and the broader Harry Potter franchise within its portfolio. The company has publicly stated that a sequel to Hogwarts Legacy is a top priority, reflecting its strategy to focus on fewer but more significant franchises. The original game's impressive sales, surpassing 30 million copies, highlight its critical role in Warner Bros.' gaming strategy.
