Warner Bros. Games is hiring for another live service title, despite the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and the recent shutdown of MultiVersus. The mysterious title will reportedly be set in the DC Universe, and as Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League failed to land with fans and led to extraordinary losses for both the studio and publisher, many are wondering if this unnamed project will be doomed before it even begins.
Released in February 2024, support for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League ended in January 2025 following the game's final post-launch story update. Marred by rampant bugs and server issues, the title was also widely criticized for its repetitive gameplay loop and mission design, with many players also left frustrated by its live service elements. Months after Suicide Squad's launch, Warner Bros. Announced that it had taken a $200 million loss on the title, and the game's continuously weak performance in the months following led to its eventual demise. While many players suspected that this failure would shutter any further ventures into live service from the company, it now seems that this is not the case.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Death Has a Consequence That's as Tragic as It Is Obvious
With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League being well and truly shuttered, so too have the doors closed on another promising DC Comics prospect.
A new job listing for an Executive Producer posted on the official Warner Bros. Games Montreal website indicates that the company is working on a "AAA game based on one of the iconic IPs from the vast Warner Bros. And DC Comics catalog," which will also require successful applicants to "oversee all phases of development, from concept to post-launch live operations." Nothing more is known about this mystery project, though it seems to match recent restructuring efforts at Warner Bros. Games, which indicated that the company would be focusing on four key franchises going forward: Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, DC, and Game of Thrones. While fans of DC Comics would likely be thrilled to get their hands on a AAA title set in a familiar universe, live service elements may quickly put many people off following recent blunders.
Warner Bros. Games Is Hiring Talent to Work On New Live Service Title in the DC Universe
Following the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, developer Rocksteady was hit with layoffs in January 2025. This wasn't the first time that the studio had lost staff, as in September of last year, the QA department was cut in half. Anonymous sources have come forward following the live service title's closure, stating that the development process had been troubled from the start and priorities had been shifted too often, resulting in a poor final product.
Unfortunately, Suicide Squad's failure was partly responsible for the cancellation of the highly anticipated Wonder Woman game, which was revealed way back at The Game Awards 2021. The title's studio, Monolith Productions, known for its work on Shadow of Mordor and FEAR, was also shuttered in February following the major losses accrued by Warner Bros. Games.
