Developer Rocksteady introduced right this moment that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been delayed but once more, however this time solely on the the Epic Retailer. Whereas the Xbox Sequence S/X, PlayStation 5 and Steam variations will nonetheless launch on February 2, 2024, the Epic Retailer model has been pushed again till March 5.
In keeping with Rocksteady, any pre-orders will probably be routinely cancelled and refunded by Epic.
“The discharge for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on the Epic Video games Retailer is now March 5, 2024,” reads the Discord publish. ” If you happen to pre-ordered the sport on this storefront, Epic will probably be cancelling your pre-order and refunding clients instantly.”
They then reiterated that each different model of the sport will launch on February 2, with early entry given to pre-order clients on January 30.
If you happen to had been hoping for some type of clarification for the delay, Rocksteady didn’t present one. A brand new insider video is because of launch on Wednesday 20, December, so it’s doable they’ll handle the delay then.
Let’s do some speculating then, we could?
If the Steam model of the sport remains to be going to be prepared for February 2, that signifies to me that this can be a drawback with the Epic Retailer particularly. I’ve no proof of this, however my intestine says it could be associated to getting the beauty storefront working accurately with Epic’s cost programs.
Regardless of the cause could also be, it’s one other blow to a recreation that has already been overwhelmed up. The sport – which revolves round enjoying as members of the Suicide Squad as they seek out Justice League members like Superman, Surprise Lady and Batman – has been delayed quite a few instances and has struggled to achieve a lot traction with followers. As an increasing number of gameplay has surfaced, it looks like the hype-levels have dropped as gamers took a dislike to the live-service parts, gameplay and extra.
And to high all of it off, the final weeks have seen a bunch of leaks that spoiled a lot of the story. The leaks had been so unhealthy, Rocksteady needed to subject an announcement.
“We’re wanting ahead to gamers experiencing the story we’ve crafted in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as soon as the sport launches within the new 12 months,” the studio wrote. “We hope everybody can play the sport and really feel every motion of the narrative for themselves.
“It is extremely disappointing to see particulars being shared forward of the sport’s launch, so we will solely urge you to try to keep away from spoilers the place you’ll be able to. And please attempt to not influence the enjoyment of different gamers by posting spoilers.”
Like many individuals, I haven’t been satisfied by the assorted seems on the recreation we’ve seen, and but I’m nonetheless a bit bit excited. Rocksteady’s Batman video games are a few of my favourites, particularly Arkham Asylum, and I wish to hope that Suicide Squad might be simply nearly as good. I imply, the premise is freaking superior. Fingers crossed, I suppose.
