The end of Suicide Squad had been apparent for a long time
The fact that Suicide Squad was about to end as a live service game had already become apparent before the release and strong criticism of the action-heavy gameplay. Warner commissioned a game from Rocksteady that caught the interest of the Arkham community.
After a sobering Metacritic score of just 60 points, the player numbers at the time of release (the peak on Steam was just 13,000 players) quickly made it clear that without massive changes to the game, a quick end to the live service game was likely is. The new season characters were everything, just not what a majority of DC fans wanted for the game.
Just a few weeks after the release, it became clear that Rocksteady only had a small team working on Suicide Squad in order to complete the announced four seasons. According to rumors, a large part of the studio is already working on a new version of Hogwarts Legacy.
Were you hoping that Suicide Squad would still get things going or that the end was quickly foreseeable for you?
