Gunnar Wiedenfels, Warner Bros. Discovery’s chief financial officer, has said that the sales of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League have not met the company’s expectations during a financial call. Although he did not reveal specific sales figures, he explained that compared to the success Warner Bros. saw in 2023 with the release of Mortal Kombat 1 and Hogwarts Legacy, the game has caused the company to face a “tough year.”
Developed by Rocksteady, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League faced several issues prior to and after its launch, such as delays, the inclusion of Denuvo anti-piracy software, and spoilers that leaked before the game’s release. In addition to these problems, an auto-complete bug caused the exclusive early-access window for purchasers of special edition versions of the game to close after only an hour. Furthermore, server outages affected the wider launch, leading to the release of a free update this month.
In response to the game’s clashing mechanics and mediocrity, NME rated Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League with three stars in a recent review, calling it a “directionless open-world shooter” where its great parts are buried. Following the unstable Early Access launch of the PVE open-world survival crafting game Nightingale, Inflexion Games is looking to prioritise a workaround to its internet connection requirement for solo or cooperative play.
