A certain game is currently at the heart of negative reviews, which has resurfaced the rumor about a Superman game desired by fans. Unfortunately, it may never see the light of day.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was approached by the press, among others, but it was not a great success. Many points in the game appear to be disturbed, which is scaring fans in anticipation of its release. But the negative feedback also had a very specific consequence. They brought back to the forefront a debate regarding a game about Superman. Does this mysterious project really exist, or is it just a rumor? Here is the answer.
A Superman game from Rocksteady? Don’t count on it
A little point on the context is necessary before continuing. In 2020, a user named James Sigfield spread a rumor about a Superman project in the works. Rocksteady Studios reportedly presented the game to Warner Bros. Unfortunately, the latter would have simply refused, forcing the studio to work on Suicide Squad. Despite the years that have passed, our man’s words have never been forgotten. But then, did he tell the truth? We know today that this was not the case.
Sigfield spoke to Bloomberg news outlet about the matter. In fact, the person who had given him this information had made a mistake by going to the wrong studio. So he tried to rectify the situation with another message, but no one paid attention. Or, players decided to ignore it on purpose, holding out hope that a Superman game from Rocksteady could see the light of day. “ I corrected it in a later tweet, but it was never noticed “. And again, that’s not all.
Indeed, sources close to the strategy part of the studio themselves affirm that there was never any question of creating a game dedicated to the Kryptonian. Following the deployment of Arkham Knight in 2015, the firm worked on a Batman in VR, then on a multiplayer title which was never revealed. At the end of 2016, things changed, as Rocksteady regained ownership of the Suicide Squad game. In 2017, development could begin. You will have understood, no adventure dedicated to Superman on the horizon. It’s time to put this rumor to rest once and for all.
Suicide Squad is coming soon, but not for everyone
The Suicide Squad project therefore did not kill a Superman project. We have the answer, and there is no longer any need to debate the subject. That said, that certainly won’t stop some fans from having things to say about the title. In any case, it is better to form an opinion on the big day. As a reminder, it will be released on February 2, 2024 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. However, the version available on the Epic Games Store will have to wait longer. For good reason, it will only arrive on March 5, 2024. Pre-orders have been canceled and refunded accordingly.
