Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was released on January 30. The game was developed by Rocksteady Studios and published by Warner Bros. Games. The game has had a fair amount of controversy since before its launch due to leaks and delays. The title also had to go under maintenance an hour after release due to a game-breaking bug. What Warner Bros. and Rocksteady have planned for the live-service title in the future remains to be seen.
