Following a very lukewarm reception to an extended look at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in February, developer Rocksteady Studios has announced the game will now release on February 2, 2024. The game was originally set to be released on May 28, 2023.
Rocksteady Studios is one of the best in the business, having brought us the fantastic Batman: Arkham franchise. Unfortunately, it appears the developer is falling into the same trap as Crystal Dynamics and Marvel’s Avengers. Instead of continuing with creating a compelling, single-player game, it’s trying to make a live-service entry that appears bland and uninspired. It’s almost strange that history is repeating itself, but this time it’s with DC Comics’ IP instead of Marvel’s.
Look for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to head to the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and the PC when it eventually launches early next year. We expect there’s going to be some significant changes to the game, based on the reception in February from Sony’s State of Play.
