It’s official, as the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game has been delayed until 2024.
Rocksteady announced the delay and new release date on social media.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will now launch on 02-02-24,” states the announcement. “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. 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.”
The delay follows the new trailers released back in February which haven’t been well-received by the fans as the number of dislikes outnumbers the likes by around 3-to-1. Rumors then followed the game would be delayed until later this year with another claiming sometime in 2024, which is now the case.
