It was reported last week by Bloomberg that publisher Warner Bros. Games and developer Rocksteady Studios' Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League from May 26 to later this year.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier is now reporting it is possible the game is delayed to 2024 and even with such a lengthy delay he says that the core game, which features live service elements, will not be changing despite the backlash from fans.
"Rocksteady has not yet announced the Suicide Squad delay, perhaps because there's still no new date," said Schreier. "Staff were told a few weeks ago it's coming later this year but they still don't know when. Possible it slips to 2024, but one thing seems certain: The core game isn't changing."

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will come with a battle pass that Rocksteady says will only contain cosmetic items. An internet connection is also required in order to play the game, even when playing solo.
The publisher or developer have yet to comment on the reported delay to the game. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.

Get ready for a sub 80 critic average and lackluster sales then WB.
At this point, the only smart thing to do would be release it and get it over with, take the L and move onto the next game with lessons learned. Delaying is the worst thing they can do as its just delaying the inevitable, no amount of changes outside of starting over will save this.
It flopping isn't changing either then.
The core game is the problem. Rocksteady have a great track record so I'm not losing all hope but so far I am not interested at all.
The core game is what's turning me off of it lol. Oh well.
Who would have thought that Rocksteady would end up like this? They could have made a Batman Beyond game instead of this shit.
As the film says "you either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villain".
It's too late to change course, but at the same time they must acknowledge that they are to expect poor reviews, scores and sales as a result of not knowing that none of us asked for this malformation, especially for Kevin Conroy's last fucking role.
Well, realistically the delay was never going to lead to major change to the core mechanics. For that to happen, the game would have to be cancelled and essentially started over from scratch.
The idea sounded fantastic but the state of play reveal was a complete disaster
Delayed to 2024? Weird. They should release fast and then start the James Gunn Batman: The Brave and The Bold.
