Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s anticipated delay could be bigger than previously claimed.
On Thursday, aBloombergsource claimedWarner has decided to push the titlefrom its previously announced May release date to the second half of 2023.
Following the report, which Warner has yet to officially comment on, Giant Bomb reporter Jeff Grubbsaida reliable source had told him thatRocksteady’s game may not arrive until next year.
“I don’t want to cause a panic or anything, but I’ve heard it’s not even coming this year, I’m hearing 2024,” he said.
“Earlier this evening I heard, they’re like, ‘this is a delay ass delay’, like this is a bigger delay than is even being put out there.
“We’ll see,” he added. “That stuff is hard to nail down for sure. I’ll say that this source has always been a very good one.”
