Development is not painless
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguewas recently shown insome detail, in a presentation that made clear it was a floaty live service looter shooter with purchasable cosmetics.

According to a person “with direct knowledge of the matter”, who wishes to remain anonymous, Suicide Squad has moved from its May 26th release date until an undetermined date later in the year. The delay will allow Rocksteady to address bugs and improve certain aspects, but will not overhaul the areas of the game that led to the backlash, according to Bloomberg’s source.
Suicide Squad was last delayeda year ago, when it slipped from a 2022 release date until spring 2023. That delay was alsofirst reported in a leak to Bloomberg.
Rocksteady have been working on Suicide Squad for some time, and their last released game (not counting a 2016 VR game) was 2015’sBatman: Arkham Knight. Arkham Knight launched on PC insuch a poor state that it was later removed from sale. Since then, the studio has also beenaccused of fostering alleged sexual harassment and discrimination, which the studio laterclaimed to have addressed.
I was pretty tough on Kill The Justice League’s recent gameplay reveal, going so far as torefer to it as a video game.
