It seemed like only a matter of time before a bomb as big as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League would result in direct damage to Rocksteady.
It was credited with a $200 million loss for the year, and now that has led to layoffs which appear to be ongoing.says that 18 QA workers out of a 33 person team were laid off, with some further ones outside of there, including on staffer posting that they had been laid of during their paternity leave. The exact number of layoffs is unknown, and Warner Bros. has not yet responded to requests for comment, as there has been no official announcement these layoffs are happening.
Previously, there were reports that despite Suicide Squad, Rocksteady would not suffer layoffs due to WB Games being understaffed and needing assistance/development on other current and future projects. But perhaps that work was finished, or this was always the plan after a certain amount of time and a “there’s no turning this around” window as Suicide Squad continued its live plans.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was considered one of the biggest AAA failures in a generation, given its huge cost and extremely low playerbase shortly after launch. It may have just been surpassed by PlayStation’s Concord, another hugely expensive venture that debuted with under 700 players on Steam. Suicide Squad had 13,000 concurrents. But the “live” game now currently in season 2 of content is not breaking 100 players most of the time on PC and is obviously not selling on console.
