The experiment failed, but Rocksteady will not close: the developers of the failed action game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League plan to return to the creation of single-player games.

Yesterday we reported that, according to Bloomberg, a "director's cut" version of the Hogwarts Legacy RPG is in development, with Rocksteady Studios involved.

Here's What We Know

Many speculated that after the huge failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which seems to be obvious to everyone but Warner Bros., Rocksteady Studios would be shut down.

However, in his article Jason Schreier reports that Rocksteady has no plans to close down and moreover, no large-scale layoffs are even expected.

As an argument Schreier cites the fact that the studio is not only involved in the development of an expanded version of Hogwarts Legacy, but also plans to return to the creation of single-player games, which she was excellent - just remember the first-class action trilogy Batman: Arkham. Rocksteady's game designers are already working on ideas for the next single-player game and hope that the management will approve them.

As Jason Schreier learned, most of the Rocksteady staff realised that they had no understanding of how to make service games, but Warner Bros. executives insisted on such an experiment and heard no justification.

The result is known to everyone: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League turned out to be boring, monotonous and uninteresting neither as a single-player nor as a co-operative game.

I'm glad that Warner Bros. understands its guilt in Suicide Squad's failure and won't punish Rocksteady for its own mistakes. The main thing is not to repeat them.
