No, for real, it has nothing to do with Peacemaker, we promise

Just earlier this month we found out that WB Game’s Batman-based game Gotham Knights was actually still planning to launch this year (in October 2022). That bodes well for fans of the comics, but it leaves one wondering: will there still be space for the Suicide Squad game in DC’s 2022 schedule?

THE ANSWER IS NO.

Heck, it’s been NO if you’ve been following our podcast or our Discord, where we’ve been pretty adamant in noting that getting both of these games out in one year would likely cannibalize their sales, especially if they’re too close to each other. The developers and WB agreed, and have announced that the much-rumored delay is in fact real.

COVID is obviously still a thing, and that means that it’s obviously difficult to plan a crunch-less dev cycle in this era and still hit prearranged deadlines. In fact, we at SideQuesting had initially heard that the team likely wanted the game to launch in 2021 alongside the movie, with Gotham arriving in 2022. But then the shifts happened, and John Cena’s Peacemaker became really popular, so the delay could mean we just might get the character mixed in somehow, too. We’re just guessing on that one, obviously, but Peacemaker was THE BEST PART OF THE SUICIDE SQUAD SEQUEL AND HAS A MASSIVE HIT SHOW so maybe we’re not too far off in our assumption.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will now launch in Spring 2023
