A rumor was going around earlier this year that Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game was going to be delayed, but since we had no official updates from the studio, it looked like nothing was going to happen. Now Rocksteady’s co-founder Sefton Hill has indeed confirmed that we’ll have to wait a little longer before we can ‘Kill the Justice League.’
Hill posts:
Seeing as this is the same studio that brought us the Arkham franchise, you can bet that the pressure is on when it comes to delivering something for Suicide Squad. I guess it’s also worth noting that not everyone loved Arkham Knight, so Rocksteady’s real last solid win with the fanbase was when they released Arkham City, and that was more than a decade ago.
Though the game has been delayed, there’s still a chance for fans to get some Arkham-like action with the upcoming Gotham Knights. Sure it’s not expected to have the same kind of bells and whistles that Suicide Squad was going to have, but it should be a nice return to formula for fans of the Arkham series. Hopefully it also comes with a great adaptation of the Court of Owls storyline.
Discover the origins of Amanda Waller’s infamous Task Force X (a.k.a. the Suicide Squad) as Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark begrudgingly embark on their mission to take down the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes, The Justice League. Featuring an original narrative set within an expansive open-world city of Metropolis, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League puts the four DC Super-Villains on a collision course with an invading alien force and DC Super Heroes who are now laser-focused on destroying the city they once vowed to protect. All the while, the Suicide Squad must be mindful of the lethal explosives implanted in their heads that could go off at the first sign of defiance.
No specific release date has been set for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but you can expect it on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC sometime in 2023.
