A “hardcore violent” Suicide Squad game was first announced by then DC Comics chief creative officer Geoff Johns in July 2010. In February 2012, he elaborated that the game was in development, adding that “Because of the concept, you have a game where any of the lead characters can conceivably die and it’s not a stunt. Some really cool story could come out of that.” The formation of the task force was teased at the end of Batman: Arkham Origins – developed by WB Games Montreal – which featured a post-credits scene in which Deathstroke is asked by Amanda Waller to join the team, and in Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, in which Catwoman, Deadshot, and Bronze Tiger join the team with Bane under consideration. In the years since Batman: Arkham Knight released, there have been rumours suggesting that WB Games Montreal was working on a Suicide Squad game, but no official announcement was made from the development team or publisher. In December 2016, Jason Schreier from Kotaku revealed that the title was cancelled, and the developer shifted their focus to the next Batman game, which was later revealed to be Gotham Knights.
Rocksteady Studios, the creator of the Batman: Arkham franchise, was initially rumored to be working on a Superman-themed game, which they later debunked. The first trailer for the game premiered at DC Fandome on August 22, 2020. As the game is set in the “Arkhamverse”, plot threads established in the Batman: Arkham series would continue in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The game is set to be released for Windows, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in 2022.
