That’s according to sources familiar with the plans of Rocksteady Studios' parent company Warner Bros.

Now, sources indicate the game will be delayed again to sometime in the fourth quarter of the year.

This is backed up by a report fromBloomberg, where reporter Jason Schreier also heard that that the game is being moved back.

This delay seemingly follows the poor reception to the game at a recent PlayStation State of Play, where the developers showed combat against the forces of Brainiac. Criticism is also being levelled at the decision to include a Battle Pass in the game, as well as the always-online functionality.

Whenever it eventually arrives, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is launching across Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and PS5.

We’ve reached out to Warner Bros. for comment and will update this article accordingly.

Windows Central’s take

Windows Central’s take

By all means, you should delay your game if it needs the extra time. Most bigger games get at least one delay these days! With that said, I’m really not sure that a few months will be enough to actually address the concerns players have, outside of some additional polish andmayberemoving the always-online requirement.
