Normally scheduled for May 2023, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could end up being pushed back several months due to the game’s poor reception in the latest State of Play.
While we thought we would finally see the end of the tunnel with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, things could end up being a little more complicated than expected. two weeks ago now Rocksteady’s game made a very noticeable appearance in Sony’s latest State of Play, where he received a 15-minute game presentation. Unfortunately, it turned out a real shower of cold water for many players, who criticized it a lot… which would have led the studio to postpone the game yet again.
Suicide Squad: Killing the Justice League would be postponed again!
In any case, this is what Jason Schreier has just announced in a new report published in Bloomberg. According to the journalist, who claims to have this information from a source close to the studio, In fact, Rocksteady decided to give Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a few more months of development, which is still slated for release later this year.. This way it would avoid being in the same launch window as other big games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo IV or Final Fantasy XVI.
NEWS: Warner Bros. and Rocksteady have delayed Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League again, from May until later this year, according to a person familiar. A showcase of the game during a PlayStation stream last month was poorly received by fans.

Of course, it would also give the developers more time to polish their work, even if Schreier clarifies that no major changes to the game should be expected. The title was announced as a service game and will continue to be so, even if it is precisely this aspect that has suffered the public’s anger. Otherwise, it would require a complete restart of development, which would take a lot more work.
No official announcement yet
Be aware, however, that at the time of this writing, the information has not yet been made official by Rocksteady or Warner Bros.. Although Jason Schreier is a very credible source, it must therefore be taken with a grain of salt for now. That said, if this postponement is confirmed, we should not delay to find out more officially. Waiting, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is therefore still scheduled for May 26, 2023. on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
