Rocksteady has confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has suffered a nine-month delay, with a new release date set for February 2, 2024.
It’s been a pretty rough few months for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. After hitting his May release date late last year, the gameplay revealed in February received significant backlash thanks to its GaaS elements, floating action, and constant internet connection requirements. rice field. There have since been reports that the game has been postponed to 2024, making it the third major delay for the game since it was first revealed.
As expected, these reports turned out to be true – Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed from next month’s planned release until next February – February 2nd to be precise. This means that a month’s delay has occurred. That’s pretty big for a game that was supposed to be out in a few weeks.
Ina statement released on twitter, Rocksteady said: We look forward to seeing you at Metropolis next year as we have much more to share in the coming months. ”
For those hoping this means that the GaaS elements of Kill the Justice League will be cut out, it’s very likely not. As well as being visible, Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has confirmed that he was the first to report that the game will be delayed to 2023, but Rocksteady’s devs have confirmed that the delay is to finish the game and will be released in February. It had nothing to do with the reaction to the showcase.
Schreier also said he doesn’t think nine months is enough time to change the entire nature of the game. For the February showcase, Rocksteady chose to focus on how his GaaS works.
The nine-month delay may tweak or change some of these mechanics a bit, but Kill the Justice League’s abrupt shift from cooperative online shooter to single-player-focused adventure very unlikely to. Still, we can at least hope that Rocksteady plans to remove the always-online requirement, much like Arkane plans with Redfall in the future.
