Mobile-game maker Jam City Inc. is cutting its investment in its Marvel Avengers superhero game as the company looks for growth in other licensed properties such as Harry Potter.
The company introduced Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery in April. The game, which is free, had more than 3 million players sign up before the launch and is “monetizing well,” Chief Executive Officer Chris DeWolfe said in an interview. DeWolfe would still consider releasing titles in the Marvel games market if he saw opportunity in the future.
