Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was a huge disappointment a couple of weeks ago when it was shown off at a PlayStation event. Apparently, the criticism of the community has not been ignored, since Warner Bros. Games made the decision to delay the new Rocksteady game or at least that’s what the most reliable source in the industry says. Sadly, everything indicates that this would be insufficient to save him.
Recently, Jason Schreier, the most trusted journalist in the world of gaming, published a new article in Bloomberg. In it he claims that one of his sources confirmed that Warner Bros. made the decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.

Delay won’t save Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
The news of the delay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League possibly gave many fans hope. After all, it appears to be a direct response to the criticism the game received during State of Play in February. Sadly, it’s virtually impossible for this delay to help make this the game fans have come to expect.
What happens is that the delay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is only months. This is insufficient development time to make the project change the game-as-a-service approach, which was the aspect most repudiated by fans. In this way, and just as several specialists mention, it is a delay that will only solve some programming errors, performance and bugs.
“For what it’s worth, a delay like this is primarily for polishing, not revising the core of the game that caused the criticism. Suicide Squad started as a game as a service and will continue to be so pending a complete (development) restart, which would require a much longer delay, ”Schreier explained on his Twitter account.

For what it’s worth, a delay like this is mainly for polish, not to overhaul the core gameplay that caused the backlash. Suicide Squad started off as a Game as a Service and will remain one short of a complete reboot, which would require a much longer delay

Simply put, the delay will surely help make Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League a higher quality project. However, that won’t be enough to make it the Batman: Arkham-esque single-player experience that many have come to expect from Rocksteady.
