After rumors surfaced back in February suggesting that the game would miss its original 2022 release window, Rocksteady has now officially confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed until spring of 2023.
Announcing the news over on Twitter, the studio’s creative director Sefton Hill said that the team needed more time to perfect the game. “We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to spring 2023,” he wrote. “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.”
Evidently, no precise reasons were given for the delay, and the announcement might come as a disappointment for many Rocksteady fans who haven’t had a new title since Batman: Arkham Knight back in 2015, especially when Suicide Squad was already announced more than two years ago. Luckily, Warner Bros. has confirmed that Gotham Knights will be on schedule to release on October 25, so there’s at least some Batman-related game dropping this year.
