Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League failure resulted in $200,000,000 loss in revenue to Warner Bros, reveals David Zaslav

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League's disappointing release has resulted in a significant revenue loss of $200 million, as reported by David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery. Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League failed to get any proper traction, and two months after its release, the game was already sitting at less than 100 players.

Let's take a look at how the most anticipated live-service title from 2024 resulted in this huge revenue loss, as revealed by Warner Bros. Discovery.

The news came during the company's Q1 financial results report, where Warner Bros. Discovery acknowledged the "significantly lower revenues" generated by the title, as compared to the hugely successful Hogwarts Legacy from the same period last year.

In an investor call later on, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav termed the release of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League as "disappointing". The CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels elaborated on the financial impact, revealing an impairment charge absorbed by the company due to the game's lack of success.

After the Q1 report was published, CFO Weidenfelds said in the investor call:

EBITDA is an acronym for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League was one of the most anticipated live-service games of 2024, and it is currently sitting at less than 100 players just two months after its release.

Beyond its disappointing narrative, a straight-up continuation of the Arkhamverse, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League fails to impress even as a basic game. It's a run-of-the-mill third-person action title lacking any spark of originality or fresh ideas. All of these piled together contribute to the poor state of the game currently.
