Warner Bros. Games scored a hit with Hogwarts Legacy, and the studio was set to launch another game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, in May, but it appears those plans have changed. Bloomberg reports that the game is now delayed beyond its previously announced May 26 release date. A new date was not published in the report.

Reporter Jason Schreier said the delay is no cause for concern. It's «mainly for polish,» the reporter said. The game was originally slated for release in 2022 before getting pushes to 2023.
