Suicide Squad falls short of Warner Bros’ expectations

Yeah, ours too.

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League has “fallen short of our expectations,” Warner Bros recently divulged as part of a financials call.

“This year, Suicide Squad, one of our key video game releases in 2024, has fallen short of our expectations since its release earlier in the quarter, setting our games business up for a tough year-over-year comp in Q1,” said Warner Bros Discovery chief financial officer, Gunnar Wiedenfels.

The company compared the “tough year” to the likes of 2023, which say Warner Bros release the best-selling game of the year, Hogwarts Legacy.

Suicide Squad, on the other hand, peaked at 13,459 concurrent PC players on Steam, with a 24-hour peak of just 888 players at the time of writing.

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League could have been something great,” Jay wrote in our review.

“The quality character visuals, one or two laugh-out-loud jokes and some interesting takes on supervillain humanity are sadly overshadowed by repetitive missions, frustrating controls, and unsatisfying combat,” Jay continued. “It feels as though very early on in development the game’s intended direction was lost and it very quickly became too late for Rocksteady to get it back on track.”

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
