There is no doubt that one of the first failures of 2024 was Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguea game that was thought to be the next success of Rocksteadywho at the time created the franchise of batman arkham which has been well received by critics. And with that in mind, many wonder how its sales performance was, and of course, the answer was not going to be the most positive, since they clearly lost much more money than they invested in this multiplayer experience.
According to what you mentioned recently Warner Bros. Discovery, this game has had a negative impact of $200 million dollars, it was announced through a meeting of its investors in which the earnings information on the products that have been launched throughout these years were given. A comparison was even made with the last hit game, Hogwarts Legacymentioning that income was significantly lower.
Also, in a follow-up call, the head of this company, David Zaslavdescribed the launch of the video game of such a popular franchise as disappointing, before the financial director, Gunnar Wiedenfelsdetailed an impairment charge that the company absorbed as a result of the failure.
Here what was said:
Starting with Studios, the year-over-year decline of over $400 million during the first quarter was primarily due to the very tough competition we faced in gaming against the success of Hogwarts Legacy last year in the first quarter, along with the disappointing release of Suicide Squad this past quarter, which we impaired, resulting in a $200 million impact on EBITDA during the first quarter.
The first complaint this game has had is that it is not an individual player experience as was the case with the saga. arkham, where the user followed a specific story through missions and a narrative that was nourished as the hours of play passed in a beatem Up style in 3D. And in this case we have a multiplayer that works with the internet almost all the time, and with all that, it has a price of 70 USD.
Remember that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Is available in PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

Author’s note: It was obvious that they lost millions of dollars with the game. And with that in mind they announce a new VR Arkham, it seems they don’t understand what people are looking for.
