After the almost-perfectBatman Arkham Trilogy, it seems that Rocksteady could not be wrong. But the decision from Warner Bros. Games to make a looter-shooter title was as bad asMarvel’s Avengers.
A popular Batman account from X shared the number of active players inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is at an all-time low, indicating that the game is on the verge of being completely abandoned. WB Games has just released the trailer for the newBatman Arkham Shadow, proving that it is moving away from this recent failure.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Has Reached a New Low
Since its announcement back in 2020 and having Rocksteady as the studio behind the project, fans werevery excited aboutSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueat first. With the release of new trailers and gameplay, the initial excitement dissipated, and the failure of titles such asMarvel’s Avengersleft players disinterested in looter-shooter mechanics and the need to destroy endless waves of nonsensical robots. This, among other things, resulted in the game’s complete demise.
A New Batman Arkham Game Has Been Announced In the Wake of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Failure
The X account Beware the Batman has gone viral with a post that shows the current players of the game on Steam. The user demonstrated using SteamDB that the Rocksteady title had only 87 active players, an all-time low for the game.
Jesus this is depressingpic.twitter.com/1zo8gmRAp1
Sad as it is, saw it coming from a mile away. Just hope rocksteady can get back to a place that is creatively interesting for them as well as understanding what the audience wants from them.
Some fans saw it coming, whilst others just found it depressing – even more so with the latestArkham: Shadowannouncement.
First that, now a new Arkham game only for Meta Quest 3 😂
It’s all their own fault tbh. Never should’ve been pushed as a live service game
In the replies to the post, many users were not shocked at all of these numbers, saying that this game was terrible, and it makes sense that less than three months after its launch, there aren’t any players left.
Warner Bros. Is Moving on With Titles Like Batman Arkham Shadow
This week, Warner Bros. Games revealed a new VR game for Meta Quest 3 calledBatman Arkham Shadow. The main company, which owns the DC superheroes, is demonstrating its commitment to breaking free from the confines of a single game and has already pushed for the release of this new title at the Summer Game Fest. This new IP will have Arkham in the name, but Rocksteady is not involved in any way or form; it’s an Oculus-exclusive title.
It May be the Least of its Problems, but Rocksteady Could Learn a Thing or Two about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Elseworld Joker from the Upcoming Todd Phillips’ Joker: Folie à Deux
Fans have not receivedBatman Arkham Shadowwell. Following the failure ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players are eagerly awaiting a DC character-based game that is at least average. Titles like Gotham Knights are ruining the possibilities for WB Games to have a better reputation; the fandom is tired of the generic games that are just pointless. The studio needs to invest in new and original projects.
The next game from the DC universe will be theWonder Womangame from Monolith, which was revealed in 2021. The studio behind the project is Monolith, the creators of theShadow of Mordorsaga. The title will be single-player and will only be focused on the journey of this popular superhero. Marvel is working on several games based on superheroes, includingIron Man,Black Panther, andBlade.

I’m a big fan of movies and videogames in general. I really love Pokémon and Godzilla. One of my favorite games is The Last of Us, Part II. A compelling and well-written story is always welcome.
