There’s another, bigger Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League delay

Nintendo released the final Tears of the Kingdom trailer ahead of the open-world game’s May launch, and there’s quite a bit going on

Rocksteady announced another Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League delay to help make the multiplayer game “the best quality” it can be. The team now plans on releasing the Suicide Squad game on Feb. 2, 2024, roughly nine months after it was meant to release in 2023.

“We have made the tough, but necessary decision to take the time needed to work on getting the game to be the best quality experience for players,” Rocksteady said in its announcement on Twitter. “Thank you to our amazing community for the continued support, patience, and understanding. There is much more to share in the months ahead, and we look forward to seeing you in Metropolis next year.”

This delay is the latest in what appears to have been a troubled development cycle. Rocksteady announced a shorter delay of a few months after Kill the Justice League’s 20-minute deep dive during February’s State of Play. The showing received a largely negative reaction, as viewers criticized the shooter game’s structure and battle pass.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said his sources told him this delay has nothing to do with that poor reception, however. Schreier said the team was told the delay is just to polish the existing game and pointed to Starfield’s nine-month delay as another example of how complicated the finishing process is for large games such as Kill the Justice League.

That February appearance was the first we’ve seen of Kill the Justice League in a while. The game made an appearance briefly in 2022, and Rocksteady announced Kevin Conroy would voice Batman, after the actor’s death near the end of the year.

Warner Bros is reportedly delaying the Suicide Squad game again

After revealing the first look at Kill the Justice League gameplay, the Suicide Squad game is reportedly delayed again

After revealing the first look at Kill the Justice League gameplay during the February PlayStation State of Play, Warner Bros. and Rocksteady are reportedly gearing up for another Suicide Squad game delay. Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier said in a new report that sources familiar with the matter believe Warner Bros. will release the superhero game sometime in fall 2023 instead.

Schreier said in the report that Rocksteady received largely negative feedback after the gameplay segment, with fans criticizing the game’s microtransactions, battle pass, and the requirement to have a stable internet connection even to play in single-player mode.

Whether the reported delay will result in changes to that structure remains unclear. Schreier said in a follow-up on Twitter that pushing the Suicide Squad game out of its May release date slot is likely just so the team has more time to test and polish and to avoid releasing it in a period where several high-profile games are launching.

“A delay like this is mainly for polish, not to overhaul the core gameplay that caused the backlash,” Schreier said. “Suicide Squad started off as a Game as a Service and will remain one short of a complete reboot, which would require a much longer delay.”

Also releasing in May are The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Redfall, with Diablo 4 close behind in early June and Final Fantasy 16 releasing later in June.

Rocksteady announces Suicide Squad release date at State of Play

Rocksteady finally announced the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League release date during the February State of Play in new co-op trailer

Rocksteady finally announced the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League release date during the February PlayStation State of Play. Suicide Squad launches May 26, 2023, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and Rocksteady debuted a new trailer highlighting some of the superhero game’s action and heroes.

An evil villain has corrupted the Justice League, leaving Harley Quinn, Boomerang, and their team as the only ones who can stand against the bent heroes and keep the city safe. What that translates to is a multiplayer co-op shooter where you and either three friends or three bots that stand in for friends venture across the city, track down the Justice League, and try to restore order with chaos.

Suicide Squad uses a gear score system similar to Marvel’s Avengers and other live service games, and it even has a battle pass. Rocksteady was adamant that this is not a live game, though. It’s a standalone experience, more like Gotham Knights than Avengers.

It’s the first we’ve seen of Kill the Justice League in a while. The game made an appearance briefly in 2022, and Rocksteady announced Kevin Conroy would voice Batman, after the actor’s death near the end of the year.

New Suicide Squad leak seemingly confirms a battle pass

Live service elements are allegedly part of the DC Comics shooter.

There are still a few months left until Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League comes out, but fresh leaks seem to confirm there’ll be a battle pass.

Earlier this week, an anonymous 4chan leak suggested that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League would have a battle pass, and now, several outlets are confirming it to be true. According to a report by VGC, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League‘s battle pass is real and will largely unlock various cosmetics like costumes and skins. As always, take this all with a grain of salt until either developer Rocksteady or publisher Warner Bros. Interactive makes a formal announcement.

Check out the leaked screenshot from a work-in-progress build below, where the battle pass tab is visible at the top.

There are also what appears to be several in-game currencies, about six that we can count. You can also see tabs for loadouts and talents, which probably let you customize each team member to some degree. Again, this is all subject to change and might be different come release.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League launches May 26, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC – a long time coming, given how many delays the game has had – seriously, it happened numerous times. The late Kevin Conroy is reprising the role of Batman for one last time, which should make long-time animated series fans happy.

Kevin Conroy voices Batman in the Suicide Squad game

Rocksteady stealthily announced the Suicide Squad release date in a new trailer and revealed Kevin Conroy’s last appearance as Batman

Rocksteady games debuted a new Suicide Squad trailer during The Game Awards 2022 and shadow-dropped the Suicide Squad release date, but the trailer contained two substantial surprises. Batman is back in Suicide Squad, despite the caped crusader technically dying at the end of Rocksteady’s superhero game trilogy. 

And in addition to that, Kevin Conroy provided this Batman’s voice. Conroy died in November 2022 after a long and successful career built in part by voicing Batman in the DC hero’s animated series, along with his appearance in video games.

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will launch on May 26, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The latest trailer shows what looks like a heavy emphasis on cinematics, with an extended cutscene featuring the Suicide Squad interrogating The Flash, with varying degrees of efficacy, before Batman infiltrates their makeshift hideout. It ends with Batman detonating a grenade before the screen fades to black.

We haven’t seen much of the superhero game over the course of its long development cycle, but you can expect to learn more in the coming months ahead of its May release date.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League officially delayed to 2023

Rocksteady’s latest is still a year away.

Rocksteady has delayed Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League until spring of 2023.

It’s not much of a surprise to anyone following Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League closely, as previous reports stated this delay was coming. Rocksteady co-founder and creative director Sefton Hill was among those not thrilled about the delay.

“We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to Spring 2023,” Hill said on Twitter. “I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can. I look forward to bringing the chaos to Metropolis together. Thanks for your patience.”

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League reportedly delayed to 2023

The squad might not reunite this year.

Fans were hoping that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League  would come out this year, but it probably isn’t anymore.

A Bloomberg  report claims that Warner Brothers has moved Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s  release date to sometime in 2023. It comes as a surprise since the  recent Game Awards trailer  suggests development is pretty far along. Neither developer Rocksteady Studios nor publisher Warner Brothers commented on this, so the release date may still be up in the air.

Batman: Arkham VR, the last game from Rocksteady Studios, came out back in 2016. So it’s somewhat unfortunate that we probably won’t be playing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League  sooner.

As with everything in life, good things often come to those that wait. Many  hugely delayed games  turn out great, so Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League  staying in the oven for another year isn’t necessarily bad news. Disappointing? Sure! Better to deliver something great rather than end up  as another Cyberpunk 2077.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League  being a four-player co-op shooter is new territory for Rocksteady Studios too. Batman: Arkham Asylum  and Batman: Arkham City  are irrefutable proof that the developer knows how to make great action games. So let’s just trust the studio’s judgment if this delay turns out to be true.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League gets gameplay first look trailer at The Game Awards 2021

Here’s some hot gameplay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League!

RockSteady Studios has finally given us our first look at gameplay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League at The Game Awards 2021.

Set in a sprawling Metropolis, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League puts players in the shoes of playable characters Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark as the team is tasked with taking down The Justice League. Kill the Justice League will be a continuation of RockSteady’s popular Batman: Arkham series and is set to take full advantage of the current generation hardware in the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, alongside PC.

Thursday’s trailer for Kill the Justice League showcased the game’s hybrid of action-adventure gameplay alongside shooter elements that help make up the combat. Kill the Justice League can be played as a single-player experience — with the ability to swap seamlessly between the four playable characters — or as a multiplayer co-op campaign with friends.

Sadly, RockSteady Studios did not announce an official release date for Kill the Justice League, which is still set for a 2022 release window. Fans can get their hands on Kill the Justice League on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

Story trailer for ‘Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’ shown at DC Fandome

Check out a story trailer for the new Suicide Squad game from the team behind Batman: Arkham Asylum!

Well, we finally got to see Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League in motion at DC Fandome on Saturday, and boy, it looks unbelievably sick.

It turns out that the game is a humorous romp, quite a departure from developer Rocksteady Studios’ previous work on Batman: Arkham Asylum, but no less exciting. The silly tone is undoubtedly in line with the James Gunn film, despite being a separate entity from either big-screen adaptation of the squad. Any excuse to have more Harley Quinn is good in my book though!

Check out the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League gameplay trailer for yourself below.

It looks like the “Kill the Justice League” part of the title is literal. Or at least, we see that the Justice League are indeed the bad guys in this game. Superman, Green Lantern, and The Flash are in the trailer, as are the Batmobile and Wonder Woman’s Lasso of Truth. So get ready to go toe-to-toe with your favorite heroes!

If you want more Suicide Squad right now, you could always prank call Amanda Waller for fun.

You can prank call Amanda Waller from ‘Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’ for real

No really, with your actual phone.

It’s not every day that we can call up comic book characters in real life, but Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League  is giving aspiring pranksters a chance to do just that.

Over on Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League’s Twitter account, developer Rocksteady shared the phone number +1 (310) 564-7047 with no explanation. If you call it, Amanda Waller picks up and begins shouting at you. She thinks you’re Harley Quinn screwing around for whatever reason. Please note, however, that this probably won’t work if you’re calling from a number outside the US. 

“I know this is you Harley,” Waller says over the phone. “I have given you weapons, resources and full sign-off to execute the Justice League, and you’re here spending my time on prank calls!? Stop screwing around and take the targets down. Now!”

Check out a recording of Waller’s response for yourself below.

If you’re not familiar with the character, Amanda Waller is a government agent in DC Comics that’s usually in charge of the team in Suicide Squad. Safe to say the character will probably be in Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League  if she’s out here taking public phone calls that may-or-may-not be Harley Quinn.

We’ll finally get another look at Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League at DC Fandome on Oct. 16, which will hopefully include gameplay.
