Suicide Squad Failure Resulted In Major Layoffs At Rocksteady

Expert Verified By

Tough Times Ahead For Rocksteady!

Story Highlight
  • Rocksteady seems to have been hit by multiple layoffs recently.
  • Warner Bros cites Suicide Squad’s poor sales as the reason behind this decision.
  • The QA team is reportedly down to just 15 people, and the layoffs have also impacted other departments.

Suicide Squad, Rocksteady’s first AAA release after the beloved Batman Arkham Knight, has been a colossal disappointment. Leading to millions in losses for Warner Bros, the game failed to measure up to this studio’s past games.

In the aftermath, it seems Rocksteady is now facing layoffs.

Why it matters: These layoffs may be a sign of Warner Bros’ dwindling trust in Rocksteady. As such, the studio could suffer further in the coming months.

Suicide Squad Took Nearly 8 Years To Develop

Not too long, rumors pointed at Warner Bros. completely shutting down Rocksteady. While no such thing seems to be happening, the studio has been hit with various job cuts.

According to reports, nearly 20 members of the QA team have been let go. This team is now down to just 15 members, with various senior and knowledgeable employees being laid off.

Moreover, it seems the layoffs extend to more than just the QA department. While exact details are unclear for now, it appears the job cuts are part of wider restructuring at the studio.

As expected, Warner Bros. has pointed to Suicide Squad’s poor performance as the major reason behind this decision.

Interestingly, this may be another sign that Warner Bros. is moving on from Suicide Squad. Rocksteady may not support the game for too long, especially since it has been reported that the studio is working on a new project.

Perhaps more layoffs will surface as the situation develops. A few employees have already discussed the layoffs on social media, so more may share their stories as Warner Bros. continues to make fundamental changes to this iconic team.
