Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has failed to meet publisher Warner Bros’ expectations.
During a financial call, Warner Bros. Discovery’s chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels said Rocksteady’s recent release had “fallen short of our expectations” (thanks, IGN).
The executive did not share any sales figures for Suicide Squard: Kill the Justice League during this call, but admitted it had left the company with a “tough year” ahead when it comes to year-on-year comparisons. Last year, Warner Bros. published Mortal Kombat 1 and Hogwarts Legacy, the latter of which became the best selling game in the US in 2023.
This news from Warner Bros. is, perhaps, not especially surprising. Things were rocky for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League even before the game launched, with the game subject to several delays as well as multiple leaks.
Then, back in January, those who paid extra to get early access to the game were met with bugs on launch – including one which saw players having full story completion from the off – and servers were taken offline on more than one occasion.
