Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, one of the top game releases for 2023, will not make it to its May release date, according to a report from Bloomberg on Thursday.
Developer Rocksteady Studios has reportedly decided to spend more time polishing the game. The title was initially slated for a 2022 release, but was pushed back to May 2023. It’s still expected to release this year, though the exact timing isn’t clear.
The delay will reportedly allow Rocksteady to fix bugs and improve other aspects of the game that weren’t ready for a May release. Publisher Warner Bros. Games did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Suicide Squad is a four-player co-op game planned for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in which players take on the role of anti-heroes Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, King Shark and Harley Quinn. The four are sent to Metropolis to face the brainwashed members of the Justice League, including the Flash, Batman, Superman, and Green Lantern.
