Released to the public in a cryptic tweet, the official Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Twitter account (opens in new tab) shared a mysterious phone number with the caption “Waller’s got another message for you.”

According to Game Rant (opens in new tab), upon calling the number, fans will be put through to a pre-recorded message from Amanda Waller who accuses you of being Harley Quinn making a prank call. 

“I know this is you, Harley,” Waller says, “I have given you weapons, resources, and full sign-off to execute the Justice League and you’re here spending my time on prank calls? Stop screwing around and take the targets down. Now!”

Calling the number several times actually gives you a different response, as one Twitter user replied (opens in new tab) to the original tweet with a video of them calling the same number that sounds as if Waller is now talking to Deadshot and telling him to kill the Justice League by any means necessary. 

For those not wanting to waste their minutes on a fake phone call, there is an option to text the phone number, which will apparently result (opens in new tab) in Amanda Waller replying and asking if you have “A.R.G.U.S clearance” and a providing link to register with a community group that’ll give you updates about the game before its release. 

Rocksteady’s upcoming Suicide Squad game was first revealed at DC Fandome in 2020 where we got our first trailer for the game. The good news is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is due to appear at this year’s DC Fandome which is taking place this weekend. 

We’re yet to get a release date for this game however it is due sometime in 2022 and will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.

AT&T is selling off its WarnerMedia division to form a stand-alone merged company with Discovery, but the fate of Warner Bros Games studios is still unknown. There was no mention of Warner Bros Games in the official press release (opens in new tab) posted by AT&T which announced the merger. IGN’s Julia Alexander (opens in new tab) has since reported on the news, stating that the sale will include “some of Warner Bros Interactive/Warner Bros Games, but not all”.

Correcting part of this tweet:1) The sale includes some of Warner Bros. Interactive/Warner Bros. Games, but not all. 2) The sale does include DC Comics. Discovery, through the new venture, now effectively co-owns DC Comics with WB.3) Rooster Teeth is part of the sale, yes.May 17, 2021

So what does this all mean for Warner Bros Games? For now, we’re not sure just yet, but if these rumors are true then the studio could be being split into two or more separate entities. Warner Bros Games currently has 11 teams worldwide: Monolith Productions, Avalanche Software, NetherRealm Studios, TT Games, Rocksteady Studios, WB Games Montreal, WB Games Boston, WB Games New York, WB Games San Francisco, WB Games San Diego, and WB Los Angeles, which is the headquarters of WB Games.

If these teams are going to be split in half, then it’ll be interesting to see who goes where. The Discovery/Warner Bros merger is all about building one giant company dedicated to streaming and media content, with Discovery picking up the likes of HBO Max, CNN, TNT, and DC Comics in the purchase. 

Almost every game that Warner Bros Games’ studios make is linked to a major TV, movie, or comic franchise, so they could all be great assets for this new company. Rocksteady is heavily linked with the Batman franchise thanks to the Arkham games and the upcoming Gotham Knights, so it’d make sense for Discovery to snap them up alongside DC Comics. Likewise NetherRealm is the team behind fighting game franchise Mortal Kombat, which has just had a major movie release on HBO Max.

It seems unlikely that AT&T is looking to hang onto Warner Bros Games in any capacity, given that it was reportedly trying to sell off the gaming division last year. Take-Two, Electronic Arts, and Activision Blizzard were among the interested parties last year, so it’s possible that some of the WB studios could end up being sold off to other gaming publishers too.

We’ll learn more about this deal in the coming weeks and months, and we’ll hopefully get some clarification on the fate of Warner Bros Games.

We’re expecting to hear about several big games from Warner Bros at E3 2021, including more on Gotham Knights, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Hogwarts Legacy.
