10 Upcoming Video Games That Are Already Controversial

10. Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

A Suicide Squad video game should basically sell itself, yet Warner Bros. and Rocksteady have had a hellish time bringing Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to market.

The game was first announced in August 2020, though the lack of substantial gameplay shown off in the years that followed left many fans skeptical.

And once images of the game's UI leaked this past January - suggesting it would be heavy reliant on live-service elements - it was unfavourably compared to Square Enix's recent superhero live-service flop, Marvel's Avengers.

But the most worrying blow came in February, when a more extensive gameplay reveal showed the game to follow a conventional looter-shooter gameplay loop, which many felt wasn't especially fitting for the Suicide Squad.

This, combined with Rocksteady quietly revealing that their game would be always-online even when playing solo, caused a major uproar online, enough that in April, it was delayed from May to February of next year.

While Rocksteady will presumably take this time to respond to player feedback, it simply isn't possible to reshape a game's core experience in just nine months, so Warner Bros. may ultimately be delaying the inevitable by pushing this thing back.

Either way, keep your expectations low, wait for reviews, and for god's sake don't pre-order it.
