Rumours of a possible delay for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League have circulated for weeks, but no official confirmation has been received.

What we feared the most has happened. After a desperate report from Bloomberg, which hinted at a delay for the long-awaited Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, Rocksteady has officially confirmed that the adventure starring Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Captain Boomerang will be released in 2023.

Rocksteady’s creative director and co-founder, Sefton Hill, shared the sad news on Twitter. The post reads:

“We’ve made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to Spring 2023.”

“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.”

Unfortunately, as mentioned at the beginning of this article, this is no surprise. Bloomberg’s report has created doubt among gamers who were eagerly anticipating Rocksteady’s new game after the release of Batman: Arkham Knight in 2015, so many were already bracing for a significant delay. And now we officially know that we’ll have to wait a few more months to enjoy an open-world game with plenty of action and adrenaline-pumping scenes.

But knowing the members of the DC Comics Suicide Squad, it’s clear that the game will have more humour. On top of all that, Rocksteady has once again earned our attention with a gameplay trailer that showcases everything that makes us follow all of the studio’s projects.
