Development is not painless

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguewas recently shown insome detail, in a presentation that made clear it was a floaty live service looter shooter with purchasable cosmetics. Then it was confirmed that the third-person supervillain adventurerequired an always online internet connection. The response to both these reveals was not great.

Now a reportby Bloombergcites an anonymous source who says Suicide Squad has been delayed until later in the year.

According to a person “with direct knowledge of the matter”, who wishes to remain anonymous, Suicide Squad has moved from its May 26th release date until an undetermined date later in the year. The delay will allow Rocksteady to address bugs and improve certain aspects, but will not overhaul the areas of the game that led to the backlash, according to Bloomberg’s source.

I was pretty tough on Kill The Justice League’s recent gameplay reveal, going so far as torefer to it as a video game.
