It was previously reported by Bloomberg that Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is getting pushed into 2023 and now it has been confirmed.
“We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to spring 2023,” wrote Rocksteady Studios creative director Sefton Hill on his Twitter. “I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can. I look forward to bringing the chaos to Metropolis together. Thanks for your patience.”

The delay comes after the similarly cooperative DC game Gotham Knights received a late 2022 release date. Previously, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League never had a firm release date, only a vague 2022 window. The game was first announced in 2020 and it has been almost seven years since Rocksteady released a full game as 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight was the team’s last project.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will combine the studio’s signature character-driven story gameplay with third-person shooter action to deliver a gaming experience unlike any other,” says the game’s official description. “Set in the richly detailed open-world Metropolis, the game’s original narrative follows the four Suicide Squad members as they take on an impossible mission to save Earth and kill the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes.”
