The release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is being delayed until next year, according to recent reports. The game, which is being made by Rocksteady (the studio behind Batman: Arkham Asylum, City, and Knight), was scheduled to come out sometime in 2022. The game’s Twitter account still lists the release date as 2022 in its bio, but if reports are to be believed, a tweet from WarnerMedia’s CEO about the company’s 2022 game lineup didn’t include Kill the Justice League.
It’s a bit of an odd delay, given that the first gameplay trailer was only released in December and gave the impression that the game was nearing completion. However, as we have seen, making games during the pandemic is difficult and most of the popular games on the horizon have delayed their release dates more than once.
Warner Bros., Suicide Squad’s publisher, isn’t going a whole year without a major game release, though. Last we heard, its (also DC-themed) Gotham Knights is still set to release at some point in 2022 after it was originally slated to be released in 2021. The company is also set to release the Harry Potter-themed Hogwarts Legacy this year, which also had its own delays.
