Rocksteady Suffers More Layoffs As Suicide Squad Support Winds Down

Rocksteady has been hit by another round of layoffs. As support for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League comes to an end with the final season, the studio has seen a number of employees let go across various departments.

Eurogamer was the first to report on the layoffs after “half a dozen staff” who were part of the layoffs confirmed to the outlet that they took place. According to the report, employees in QA, programming, and art have been let go.

An exact number impacted or when the layoffs actually happened is currently unknown. Insider Gaming has reached out to Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady for comment on the layoffs. As of publishing, however, no response has been received.

The latest layoffs mark the second in a handful of months as the QA team saw staff reduced by over 50% in September. Last May, during the company’s Q1 FY2025 earnings call, Warner Bros. revealed that Suicide Squad cost the company $200 million in revenue due after a “disappointing” release. During its last earnings call, the company said that, moving forward, it’ll put more of a focus on “strong” game franchises like Batman, Mortal Kombat, and Hogwarts Legacy.
