Among the pile of confirmed projects coming from Warner Bros. Games, the publisher is looking to shoehorn in free-to-play, live-service elements into its premium games. Thus far, this has been evident with the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Already, this is evident with the upcoming mobile endeavor Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions. The game is expected to be a free experience on smart devices whilst catering to in-game purchases and such.
