DC’s band of misfits is moving back its release date. A new report from Bloomberg says Warner Bros. has delayed the video game, pushing it from May out to sometime later this year.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewas originally planned for 2022, untila delay pushedRocksteady’s new DC project into 2023. No official confirmation has happened yet for this delay, and a representative for Warner Bros. did not respond to Bloomberg’s request for comment. No new date was made clear, either.
TheSuicide Squadgame was the focus of a recentSony State of Play livestream, which showed off some of its story and gameplay, as well as its quiteDestiny-like live-service elements. Those aspects werenot all warmly received, however. Now, Rocksteady appears to be taking some extra time.

No overt reason was mentioned for the delay in Bloomberg’s report, though it will have to be officially announced soon. The release date, or rather former date, is on May 26 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
Given the backlash, as well as the fumbles ofGotham Knights, a fellow DC game with live-service elements, I’m now curious to see what the road ahead forSuicide Squadis. While I’m not particularly keen on build-crafting my Captain Boomerang loadout the way I would inDestiny, I’d also wonder whatcouldbe addressed at this point in development. We’ll have to just wait and see what the official Warner Bros. response and reasoning for this delay will be.
