The recent delay of Rocksteady’s own Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League has led some fans to wonder if Gotham Knights will be pushed back further, but WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar recently reassured players that both Gotham Knights and Hogwarts Legacy will still make their planned 2022 releases.
