Those excited about the upcoming release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will have to wait a little bit longer — again.

Rocksteady Studios has announced that the game’s launch date will be moving from May 26th to February 2nd, 2024.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was initially slated for a release in 2022 before being moved to May 26th, 2023. The launch was then delayed to a later date in the year, before finally being announced that it would drop on February 2nd, 2024. The most recent announcement marks two changes in the same year and three moves in total since the title’s inception.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a major point of interest in Sony’s State of Play event in February. Players were able to experience the gameplay up close for the first time, resulting in mixed opinions. Some of the less positive feedback may have inspired an additional delay to the game’s launch.

Rocksteady announced that the title would be delayed another nine months in order to “work on getting the game to be the best quality experience for players.” Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier tweeted that the delay was made to polish the game’s existing elements, rather than change anything major.

As of right now, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set to release on February 2nd, 2024, but keep your fingers crossed just in case.

Warner Bros. has released the first story trailer for its Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game at the virtual DC FanDome event.

Developed by Rocksteady, the studio behind the Batman: Arkham trilogy, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League follows the titular team of supervillains as it’s assigned to, as the title suggests, take out the Brainiac-controlled Justice League.

The game was first revealed in a cinematic trailer at last year’s DC FanDome with a 2022 release window, although no gameplay was revealed. The new trailer similarly doesn’t feature gameplay, so it’s unclear exactly how it will play. Rocksteady has previously confirmed it will support one to four players via co-op.

That said, we did get three minutes of in-game footage in the new “Ticking” trailer. In the footage, we see more of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark from the first trailer, as well as first looks at Amanda Waller, the Suicide Squad’s boss, as well as Justice League members like The Flash, Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

Interestingly, we only get a look at the Batmobile instead of Batman himself, which is especially notable considering Kill the Justice League is set in the Batman: Arkham universe. It’s unclear what role Batman may play or whether he’ll be voiced by veteran actor Kevin Conroy as he was in the Arkham trilogy.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC sometime in 2022.
