One particular game is currently the focus of negative reviews, which has reignited the fan-desired rumor of a Superman game. Unfortunately, it may never see the light of day.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was talked about by the press, among others, but did not have much success. Many points in the game appear to be broken, causing fans to fear its release. But the negative feedback also had a very concrete consequence. They brought a debate about a game about Superman back to the forefront. Does this mysterious project really exist or is it just a rumor? Here is the answer.
A Superman game from Rocksteady? Don’t rely on it
Before proceeding, a little contextual note is necessary. In 2020, a user named James Sigfield spread a rumor about a Superman project in the works. According to reports, Rocksteady Studios presented the game to Warner Bros. Unfortunately, the latter simply declined and forced the studio to work on Suicide Squad. Despite the passing years, our man’s words have never been forgotten. But then did he tell the truth? We now know that this was not the case.
Sigfield spoke to Bloomberg news agency 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 clear up the situation with another message, but no one paid attention. Or players decided to willfully ignore it and hope that a Superman game from Rocksteady might see the light of day. “ I corrected it in a later tweet, but it was never noticed “. And that’s not all.
In fact, sources close to the studio’s strategy department confirm that developing a game dedicated to the Kryptonian was never in question. After launching Arkham Knight in 2015, the company worked on a Batman in VR and then a multiplayer title that was never revealed. Things changed in late 2016 when Rocksteady regained ownership of the Suicide Squad game. Development could begin in 2017. As you will have understood, there is no adventure dedicated to Superman on the horizon. It’s time to put an end to this rumor once and for all.
Suicide Squad is coming soon, but not for everyone
The Suicide Squad project therefore did not bring down any Superman project. We have the answer and there is no need to discuss the topic anymore. However, that certainly won’t stop some fans from saying something about the title. In any case, it’s better to form an opinion on the big day. As a reminder, it will be released on February 2, 2024 for 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.
