Suicide Squad Is Reportedly Getting “Barebones Support” As Rocksteady Moves On To New Projects
After launching earlier this year, the support team for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has reportedly been reduced to a skeleton crew as developer Rocksteady is said to be pivoting to new projects. According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, the bulk of the studio is reportedly working on a “director’s cut” of Hogwarts Legacy.
Some barebones support, definitely not as much as they’d originally planned

Beyond that, the Bloomberg report claims that Rocksteady’s studio leaders are looking to pitch a new single-player game “which would return Rocksteady to its roots” following the poor critical and commercial performance of the game. As revealed during an earnings call in May, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was a $200 million bomb for Warner Bros. Discovery.
The first Suicide Squad post-launch season, Season of Jokes, wasn’t well-received when it launched a few months ago, and the audience for the game on PC via Steam has seldom reached over 500 concurrent players over the last three months.
