Despite the fact that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been plagued by delays, it remains one of Rocksteady Studios' major new titles for 2023. The creator of the Batman Arkham series has moved their focus away from the Caped Crusader and onto a motley crew of criminals. Kill the Justice League will deploy Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark to take down a corrupted team of brainwashed DC heroes.
What is Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League about?
The game takes place five years following the conclusion of Batman: Arkham Knight, in the universe founded by the Batman: Arkham trilogy. Amanda Waller forms the Suicide Squad out of Arkham Asylum convicts Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark for a covert operation in Metropolis.
Only when they arrive in the city do they realize the gravity of the situation: Brainiac has infiltrated Earth and begun brainwashing its inhabitants, including Justice League members Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and Batman, with Wonder Woman the only visible member who is not under Brainiac's control.
It leaves the Suicide Squad to save the world by rescuing the Justice League from Brainiac's influence and stopping Brainiac before he conquers Metropolis and, eventually, the entire world.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League announcement trailer
So far, three Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League trailers have been released. The first was issued in conjunction with the Suicide Squad's reveal at DC Fandome in 2020, laying the stage for an outrageous adventure. The second trailer debuted in October 2021, concentrating on the story and introducing the vast selection of notable super heroes that the Suicide Squad will face in Metropolis.
The first Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League gameplay trailer was released in December 2021, and it gives us a look at each character's unique fighting and traversal features, as well as how the four may play off of one another in co-op.
What platforms will Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League release on?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X. While Rocksteady Studios and WB Games Interactive have yet to comment directly on why Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League won't be released on the PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, it is only natural that developers are beginning to focus their attention on the ninth generation of home consoles.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League gameplay
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set in an open-world Metropolis, similar to Rocksteady's Arkham City on a grander scale. This open-world concept should provide plenty of opportunities for exploration. Thanks to the trailer, we already know that gamers will be able to play the game solo or in multiplayer mode.
Solo players can switch between members of the squad as they like, with uncontrolled team members managed by AI to play alongside you. You will, however, require an internet connection for this. Each of the four playable characters (Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang) has a "unique moveset" and "advanced traversal skills." While these specific skills and actions have not been revealed, we did catch a glimpse of each of the anti-heroes' distinct playstyles in the gameplay clip shown at The Game Awards 2021.
When will Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League be released?
The release date for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is slated for May 26, 2023, however there are speculations that it has been delayed again. Despite the fact that the game's May release date is still available on the official website, the latest sources indicate that the game has been pushed because the makers want to polish everything to ensure it's worth the wait.
According to Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier, this should not be a significant delay, though the game is expected to be delayed until late 2023. This follows a Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League delay that pushed the game out of 2022.
