Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League developer Rocksteady is reportedly facing layoffs months after the game's troubled release. The game has struggled to maintain momentum since hitting the market earlier this year, with Suicide Squad players critiquing its live-service model, gameplay, and lackluster story. Rocksteady is now facing significant restructuring as a result of the title's poor sales.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the latest project from game developer Rocksteady, the studio responsible for some of the most popular and critically beloved comic book video games of all time, such as Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City. Suicide Squad was a bold departure for the studio and series in general, this time placing players in the shoes of some of DC's most iconic and notorious villains, like Harley Quinn and King Shark. The game is ambitious in scope but suffered negative critical reception and a variety of glitches, as well as backlash regarding Suicide Squad's live-service model, with Rocksteady now reportedly facing a substantial number of layoffs.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League recently reversed its titular promise and in doing so it seems like Rocksteady has plans for these characters.
