In a submit on X/Twitter, the official account for the sport revealed that it was “adjusting the discharge timing” for the subsequent season from July 11 to July 25. The second season of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will introduce Mrs. Freeze as a playable character, along with a brand new map, new weapons, and two “episodes” titled Frozen Hearts and Winter. It is the second of 4 seasons deliberate as post-launch content material for the sport following its launch in late January.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s second season receiving a delay comes as the sport has struggled with participant retention following its launch earlier this yr. At launch, the sport was panned by critics and gamers.
Last month, Bloomberg spoke to a number of sources who revealed that the sport had a troubled improvement cycle. The report alleges that Warner Bros. executives instructed employees at Rocksteady Studios that they anticipated Suicide Squad to develop into a billion-dollar franchise; after the sport flopped, many members of the event group are reported to have shifted to improvement work on a director’s minimize of Hogwarts Legacy.
Despite most of the employees at Rocksteady apparently transferring onto one other mission, a WB spokesperson instructed IGN final month that it plans to finish its already introduced post-launch roadmap. Though its future past a fourth season stays unclear.
In our overview of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which scored a 5 out of 10, my colleague Simon Cardy wrote: “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a repetitive and bland looter-shooter that, regardless of an interesting story, by no means stays enjoyable for lengthy sufficient.”
