Warner Bros Discovery announced that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League did not meet sales expectations. The live action game, released in recent months, failed to excite Suicide Squad fans. So what’s going on at legendary studio Rocksteady?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed
Recent statements made by Warner Bros Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels suggest that Kill the Justice League is failing. Speaking about the game, CFO Wiedenfels said that it “fell short of expectations despite launching at the beginning of the first quarter of the year.”
No specific sales figures were given for the game, but it is possible to say that the number of instant players on Steam has dropped to around 2,000. Compared to last year’s Harry Potter game Hogwarts Legacy, Suicide Squad’s performance has been very disappointing for Warner Bros. Games.
For those who don’t remember, Hogwarts Legacy broke sales records in the first quarter of 2023. It even managed to become the best-selling game in the US last year. In contrast, the studio’s new Suicide Squad game did not meet the predictions.
It is possible to say that the reviews for Suicide Squad are mixed… Although controlling the villains in the DC world appeals to some players, it failed to attract players with its repetitive mission structure and boring episodes.
Rocksteady Studios’ plans to support the game continue. It said it will add new stories, missions and characters throughout 2024 to increase player engagement. This includes the Joker, who will be available in the first season update.
