Although there have been rumors over the years, Stable as a mountain A Superman game was never made, no matter how bad you thought it was suicide squad It seems.
Look, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League doesn’t look good. The foundation of the game doesn’t look great, and to make matters worse, it has a bunch of live service elements that it simply doesn’t need. Warner Bros. Zaslav’s previous comments about adding live service elements to its biggest franchise certainly build a picture that some exec came to Rocksteady and told them to make a live service Suicide Squad game , rather than the rumored Superman game. But that’s not the case, and a new report from Bloomberg clarifies why everyone is so sure the Batman Arkham series developer is working on a Superman game.

The original rumor came from a Twitter user James Siegfield As early as 2020, he pointed out in an interview with Bloomberg that he even admitted that he was wrong at the time. “I corrected it in a subsequent tweet, but it never caught on,” Siegfeld said. “The person who gave me the information got the studio mixed up.” There’s certainly some truth to the confusion; Suicide Squad is set in Superman’s own Metropolis, and he does play an antagonist role in the game.
Bloomberg further clarified some of Rocksteady’s sequence of events after Arkham Knight, explaining that a Suicide Squad game was in development at another Warner Bros.-owned studio but was canceled in 2016, after which the property was given to Rocksteady . He started working on the project in 2017. After Arkham Knight, Rocksteady began development on a Batman VR game and a previously unreported original series multiplayer game, though that apparently hasn’t seen the light of day yet, so who knows if it’s still a thing.
Essentially, even if Warner Bros. did impose a live-service element into Suicide Squad, it wouldn’t kill the Superman game — although given the upcoming game’s subtitle, I guess Superman could still die.
“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” will finally be released on February 2 next month and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.
