Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is highly anticipated due to its legitimate ties to the Arkhamverse. It was surprising to see Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hit with such a long delay after having released its first official gameplay trailer, but it was reassuring to see that it is at least narrowed down to a release window of spring. Spring is now approaching fairly rapidly and nothing about it has been shared since, worrying fans that the game could have another delay. It is therefore difficult to determine when fans may hear about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League again.

Rocksteady’s founders have left the studio since Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s delay, and it is unknown if that has had any impact on the game's development at all. If it has, then a delay would seem almost inevitable. The game had appeared beforehand at back-to-back DC FanDomes, but that event airs in the summer and would not line up with the game’s spring release window. Rocksteady could feasibly resurface with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League at any time before then, and Geoff Keighley’s The Game Awards may be the perfect stage to do so.

The Ball is in Rocksteady’s Court for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League appeared at The Game Awards 2021 with its world premiere gameplay trailer. This makes gaming’s largest celebratory event a logical place for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to appear again, and there's enough time between the Game Awards and spring that it could kick off a legitimate marketing campaign. Rocksteady could drop another gameplay trailer, perhaps representing any changes or improvements that have been made during its delay thus far. Otherwise, another narrative teaser would be welcomed if it came appended with a new release date. Many games have been delayed only to have their new release dates announced soon thereafter.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is notably in that it was delayed this year and has yet to receive any news since, meaning that Rocksteady is likely adhering to its comfortable release window of 2023, and could potentially delay it further into 2023 past its intended window of spring. The Game Awards has not alluded to whether Rocksteady’s latest Arkhamverse game will be returning, but since it was featured there last year there is reason to predict that it may show up once more.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Delay is Likely a Boon

Regardless, any more time that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has in the oven to simmer is beneficial. There will obviously be fans of the Arkhamverse who are tired of waiting, especially if they have perceived Gotham Knights as a disappointment in the meantime, but the longer Rocksteady has to develop Suicide Squad, the better it should hypothetically be when it finally releases.

An appearance at The Game Awards would be a huge win for fans and demonstrate that Rocksteady is once again confident in its product heading into 2023. If it is not brought back to The Game Awards, then there is always the chance that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could have some sudden trailer or release date post dropped, but that would obviously be harder to anticipate.

The Game Awards seems like the most likely place for it to show up as a result. Since the event is less than a couple of weeks away, it is almost time to see whether Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is ready to share more, or if it will recede into 2023 and remain silent until development is further along.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is scheduled to release in early 2023 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
