Suicide Squad Launches in 6 Months and Devs are Looking for Narrative Director

Rocksteady Studios, currently developing Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, is looking for a narrative director. This probably bodes poorly for this DC universe game.

Suicide Squad Launches in 6 Months and Devs are Looking for Narrative Director.

Rocksteady Studios was in a very poor condition. Subsequent information coming from the camp of the British developer is also not optimistic. The team is looking for a .. narrative director.

Given that the new release date for the game has been set for February 2, 2024. - later May 26, 2023 - this job announcement seems to be a bad sign. Nevertheless, one can't help but consider a few (slightly) less ominous scenarios, such as:

That the narrative has already been pretty much buttoned up, and someone is being sought to replace Sefton Hill - the game's original director and co-founder of Rocksteady Studios - who at the end of 2022 left the company (along with Jamie Walker, the other co-founder);
That the team needs someone to finish Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - the web reports that its co-director (alongside Hill) is Axel Rydby or Rasmus Hojengaard, but it's hard to tell if and how recent this news is;
That the Twitter post quoted above had an unfortunate choice of words and is not really about the director of the narrative for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, but of the next Rocksteady game - a bit of which is suggested by the full content of the announcement, published on Warner Bros.' website.
