In a put up on X/Twitter, the official account for the sport revealed that it was “adjusting the launch 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’s 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 12 months. At launch, the sport was panned by critics and gamers.

Final month, Bloomberg spoke to a number of sources who revealed that the sport had a troubled growth cycle. The report alleges that Warner Bros. executives informed employees at Rocksteady Studios that they anticipated Suicide Squad to turn out to be a billion-dollar franchise; after the sport flopped, many members of the growth staff are reported to have shifted to growth work on a director’s lower of Hogwarts Legacy.

Regardless of a lot of the employees at Rocksteady apparently shifting onto one other mission, a WB spokesperson informed IGN final month that it plans to finish its already introduced post-launch roadmap. Although 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 attractive story, by no means stays enjoyable for lengthy sufficient.”
