Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – Delays upon delays upon delays
It was supposed to hit shelves in 2022, then it was delayed to May 2023. Earlier this year, a report by Bloomberg suggested that the game would be delayed away from the 2023 release date, citing a “person with direct knowledge of the matter” as the source that the delay was to polish, fix bugs, and improve aspects of the game. This followed after the PlayStation State of Play showcase of the game featured its live-service elements, requirement for a persistent internet connection, and a battle pass system which earned backlash. Bloomber's Jason Schreier added to his initial report that this delay would be to “polish” and not make any major changes to the game systems.
Jez Corden of Windows Central quote-retweeted Rocksteady's announcement of the delay, saying “I've heart that part of the delay to Suicide Squad is to remove/rework the ‘always online' component.” This is a good sign for the game's potential playerbase – requiring a persistent online connection even for solo play is simply unacceptable.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Suicide Squad releases on February 2, 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S | X, and PC.
