Rocksteady Facing More Layoffs Amid End of Suicide Squad Support

Expert Verified By

Final Nail In Coffin For Rocksteady After Suicide Squad?

Story Highlight
  • Rocksteady has seen another round of layoffs following Suicide Squad’s disappointment.
  • Teams in the QA, programming, and art departments have been impacted.
  • This report comes just ahead of Suicide Squad’s final month of support.

Suicide Squad’s failure from last year is well documented across the industry by now. After leading to major losses for Warner Bros, the game was confirmed to be heading toward the end of its lifespan, leading to layoffs at Rocksteady.

Unfortunately, the studio has been hit with another round of layoffs. Just as support is set to end this month, reports point to several staff members losing their jobs.

Why it matters: Layoffs are never a good sign, and with Rocksteady’s shaky track record over the last year, these reports have caused major concerns.

Superman
Superman Was Featured As The Main Antagonist of Suicide Squad

The latest update on the situation comes from Eurogamer, which reports that half a dozen staff have lost their jobs. These layoffs cover various parts of Rocksteady, including QA, programming, and art.

Perhaps the most interesting part about the layoffs is that Rocksteady appears to be working on its next game already. One would expect the team to retain talent for this project, but the reports suggest otherwise.

It’s not clear how many employees have been laid off, but the reports do not bode well for the future of the studio, especially since there has been chatter about Warner Bros potentially shutting the team down altogether.

Batman Arkham Combat
A New Batman Game Could Be The Next Move For The Team

Given Rocksteady’s history with the Batman Arkham series, it would only be fair to give the team another chance. Perhaps the studio can attempt another Batman game or tackle the much-requested AAA Superman gaming adaptation.

What are your thoughts on the layoffs? Do you think Rocksteady will come out of this situation a stronger team? Let us know in the comments below, and discuss more details on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
