Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has undoubtedly divided the community, and even Warner Bros. is not satisfied with the result. However, it is not for the same reasons.
Contrary to what one might have thought, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is not a total disaster. At least, that’s what we concluded in our test, giving it a score of 6/10. We still find a staging and narration specific to Rocksteady, which is a major argument. The gameplay is also a great success, even if the combat sometimes struggles to be readable. In short, generally speaking, we are far from the predicted catastrophe. However, success is not necessarily there, as confirmed by the game’s publisher.
Suicide Squad game disappoints Warner Bros
Indeed, Gunnar Wiedenfels, the financial director of Warner Bros. Discovery, recently announced the color. Since its arrival on February 2, Suicide Squad has not “lived up to expectations”. We do not know what the firm’s objective was in terms of sales, but it was clearly not achieved. As a result, the publisher is preparing for a “complicated year” in the gaming sector. The saddest part of all this is that it was easily expected. The game is having difficulty attracting people to its adventure.
Yes, it’s reminiscent of the first bleak assessment for Suicide Squad, shortly after its release. SteamDB told us that it had gathered 13,459 players during the biggest peak observed. Half as many as Marvel’s Avengers with more than 31,165 simultaneously. And that, we recall, was only a few days after his arrival. The attendance figures seen at that time give weight to the editor’s words, and the pill must have difficulty passing.
Is it all over? For the moment, we cannot comment. We haven’t really had any news on this subject, although there are rumors circulating. The only thing we know is that Rocksteady has validated plans internally for four seasons. We’re talking about a certain amount of free content, including the addition… of the Joker! It remains to be seen whether this will allow Suicide Squad to get back on track, but it will surely be a tough undertaking. To be continued.
