Rocksteady Studios, creators of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, announced further layoffs in late 2024, impacting programmers, artists, and testers. This follows September's layoffs, which halved the testing team.
The studio faced significant challenges in 2024, struggling to maintain Suicide Squad despite its poor reception and reported $200 million in losses for Warner Bros. No further updates are planned for 2025, though servers will remain active.
These cuts weren't isolated to Rocksteady; Games Montreal, another Warner Bros. studio, also experienced layoffs, affecting 99 employees.
The game's early access launch exacerbated the situation. Players encountered numerous bugs, including server outages and a major plot spoiler. Negative reviews from prominent gaming publications and a massive 791% surge in refund requests (according to McLuck analytics) further compounded the problems.
Rocksteady's future projects remain unannounced.
