A couple of weeks ago, Warner Bros made a very important announcement, confirming that the merger between the company and AT&T gave rise to the birth of a new brand, known as Warner Bros Discovery. This announcement led to the belief that the rights problems that arose following the merger would disappear, but it seems that now new bumps have appeared in Warner’s path.
Although the rumors regarding the possible purchase of the studios of Warner Bros were evaporated following the merger with AT&T, it seems that the company has decided to continue down the path of divestment of its studies. Given this decision, it seems that several companies would be interested in the operation, and once once more, rumors have arisen that Microsoft Could Buy Warner Bros Discovery Studios.
Interested parties include EA, Take-Two, Microsoft, Sony, Tencent, Netease, and PUBG Corp. WBD wants to sell studios and license IP, supposedly.

Microsoft Could Buy Warner Bros Discovery Studios
The information comes from Imran Khana member of the prestigious Game Informer media, which has assured that, despite not having enough information to make a press article regarding it, it seems that Warner Bros Discovery’s intention is to sell its video game development studios.

Faced with this decision, there are several interested companies, among which several of the most important on the international scene stand out. Particularly noteworthy is the presence of Microsoft and Sony as peers interested in the operationbut there are also other renowned ones such as EA, Take-Two, Tencent, Netease or PUBG Corp.
For now we will have to wait to see how this decision turns out, although there is no doubt that it seems somewhat strange, especially following assuring that Warner Bros Discovery would focus on reinforcing DC games. However, the company may simply assign the rights to other companies and take a significant cut from the sale of its assets. Be that as it may, for now We will have to wait to find out if Microsoft might buy the Warner Bros Discovery studios.
