Rocksteady Announces Delay in Next Suicide Squad Patch Release

Highlights

  • Rocksteady faces delays in testing fixes for Suicide Squad updates, leaving players and fans waiting longer than anticipated.
  • The game's sales suffered due to delays, leaks, and live-service components, resulting in a less-than-enthusiastic reception.
  • Developer commitment extends to 2024, promising ongoing updates and introducing a new playable character in Season 1.

Fans and players of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will have to exercise extra patience for the next scheduled game update. Rocksteady, the game's developer, is currently focusing on thoroughly testing planned fixes to ensure smooth deployment on the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League servers and clients.

Suicide Squad has encountered difficulties since its launch in early February 2024. Various delays and leaks led to pre-release backlash. Post-launch, dissatisfaction with the abundance of live-service features contributed to disappointing sales, as acknowledged by Warner Bros. However, Rocksteady remains dedicated to delivering four seasons of content updates for the game through 2024.

Latest Delay Impacts Suicide Squad Patch

Despite Rocksteady's commitment, ongoing issues with Suicide Squad stability are causing delays in the release of updates. The patch notes for the March 1 Suicide Squad update mentioned a delay in the next patch. Initially set for the week of March 8, 2024, the patch release has been postponed without a specified date. Testing is essential, especially after a recent bug introduced in the second Suicide Squad patch hindered player progression.

Rocksteady's current focus is on launching the free Season 1 Update in March, featuring the addition of the Joker as a playable character, along with new gear, environments, and additional content for existing players.

Despite the setback, Rocksteady is actively addressing multiplayer issues and login problems to enhance player experience. An upcoming update is in progress, eliminating the need for a client-side patch and offering potential improvements without requiring additional downloads. Addressing these issues aims to stabilize the player base for Suicide Squad.

While the game's commercial performance and reception may have been underwhelming, Rocksteady's commitment to consistent post-release updates is promising. Sustained developer support is crucial for the longevity of live games, reassuring current players and potential newcomers that Suicide Squad will receive continuous updates throughout 2024.
