Rocksteady Lifts NDA On 'Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League' Alpha: 'Please Feel Free To Talk And Write'
Portfolio Pulse from Franca Quarneti
Rocksteady, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc (NASDAQ:WBD), has lifted part of the NDA on the closed alpha for 'Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League', allowing players to discuss their gameplay experiences. The game, set for release in February 2024, features a live service model with a battle pass and gear score progression. Despite this, Rocksteady does not label it explicitly as a live service game. The game represents a shift from Rocksteady's 'Batman Arkham' series and has faced some fan criticism for its live service direction.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Warner Bros. Discovery Inc, which owns Rocksteady, may see investor interest as the company allows open discussions about the 'Suicide Squad' game alpha. The game's live service model and departure from the 'Batman Arkham' series could influence fan reception and, consequently, the game's success and WBD's stock.
The impact on WBD's stock is uncertain in the short term. Positive player discussions could generate buzz and potential sales, boosting investor confidence. However, the mixed reception to the live service model and the long lead time until release may temper immediate stock movement. The company's decision not to label the game as a live service could be a strategic move to avoid negative market sentiment.
