Citing unnamed and shadowy “people familiar with its development”,Bloomberg reportthat Suicide Squad won’t hit its vague release window of 2022. Those mysterious figures don’t offer any insight into why but I’d guess the usual reason: making video games is hard, and it takes ages, and making big fancy video games good is even harder, and can take even longer. Throw in a global pandemic which has thrown so many people’s lives off, not just in working from home, and yeah, that’ll probably gum up development.

Another hint recently suggested the game might not make 2022, when a Warner Bros casually reeled off a list of games due this yearon Twitterand didn’t mention Suicide Squad. The fella only listed two games, mind, wedged into a tweet which also mentioned CNN+ and HBO Max—so it wasn’t a comprehensive listing of everything for the year.
