Ever since the game’s arrival in January, there has been little nice to say towards Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Following the hallmark trilogy for Batman Arkham, many were surprised to find that the universe’s continuation was a lukewarm misfire from all four members on Task Force X.

Following its release, the game found its Steam peak player count only reaching just over 12,000 players roughly. Additionally, the addition of Joker for season 1 did not show to bring much of a change to that. In one financial report, Warner Bros. revealed that the project overall was a $200 million loss for the firm after chasing this effort for almost a full decade.

However, that does not mean that post-launch support is folding just yet. The full year 1 promises from Rocksteady Studios for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is to remain until fulfilled. Beyond that currently appears to be still in the air. In a statement to IGN, a spokesperson said this: “We are not yet discussing anything that is not announced.”

What’s more is that Warner Bros. is still committed to its further push on live-service projects. Despite the underwhelming release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the recent 2023 juggernaut that was Hogwarts Legacy, it is stated that the firm is not continuing with its established AAA model for emphasis on service IPs instead.

More interesting is the coming collaboration with Meta. In development by Camouflaj, Batman Arkham Shadow is the next entry as part of a continuation to the Batman Arkham series. Coming later this fall, it is surprising how soon a new interaction is overshadowing on of Warner Bros. largest investments to gaming. You can read the full report by heading here.
