The latest news from the gaming world has left fans shocked and saddened. It seems that the highly anticipated game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, has not lived up to expectations and has caused major repercussions for the developers at Rocksteady. After the success of their Batman: Arkham games, the studio was riding high, but unfortunately, Suicide Squad has been a major disappointment.
Warner Bros. has recently announced that Rocksteady will be facing layoffs due to the poor performance of Suicide Squad. In fact, the game has been deemed a flop, which is a stark contrast to Rocksteady's previous successes. It's reported that the sales have fallen short of expectations, leading to concerns about the future of the studio. This is unfortunately becoming a trend in the gaming industry, with big budget failures resulting in layoffs.
Seven months after the game's launch, reports have emerged that the QA team at Rocksteady has been hit the hardest. Almost half of the team has been let go, with only 15 members remaining. It's a devastating blow for the employees, especially for one team member who was told about their redundancy while on paternity leave. The poor sales of Suicide Squad have been cited as the reason behind these layoffs, according to sources at the studio.
Despite the game reportedly causing a loss of $200 million for Warner Bros., the company is still planning on creating more free-to-play live service games in the future. However, it's unclear if Rocksteady will be involved in these projects. It seems that the studio may be shifting its focus to a new single-player title, as evidenced by the LinkedIn page of a senior systems programmer. Whatever their next project may be, it won't be set in the same universe as Robert Pattinson's The Batman, as confirmed by DC boss James Gunn.
As for the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Shadow, fans will have to wait a little longer. The game is set to be released on VR in October and promises to be an impressive addition to the franchise.
