It has been a long wait for Rocksteady Studios to announce its next project, but finally, at DC Fandome, the developer gave fans a look at Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. While still rooted in the same DC Comics universe that Rocksteady cut its teeth on, the 4-player co-op title also looks to be a significant departure for the studio.
Unfortunately, the reveal trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was only CG and didn’t give too many hints about the story and gameplay. Fans know that the playable characters will be Deadshot, Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang, and the group will face off against Superman at some point. But the real details about the game were only revealed after the trailer concluded.
In a Q&A session during DC Fandome, Rocksteady Studios director Sefton Hill revealed more details about the game and follow-up press release from WB Games had even more to offer. One of the key confirmations is that the game will be set in the Arkham game universe. Without having seen Batman, it’s unclear how exactly the events of Asylum, City, and Knight will influence Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, if at all, but there is some connection there.
But while it’s in the continuity, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set in Metropolis instead of Gotham. Players will be able to control any of the four Suicide Squad members as part of a singleplayer experience, and they can switch between them on the fly. Of course, the big selling point of the game is 4-player online co-op but that is purely optional. Those who want to experience a signature Rocksteady Studios narrative will be able to do so all on their own.
In case there was any doubt, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is confirmed as a third person action shooter, with WB calling the gameplay “unlike any other.” Gamers have seen third person melee and shooting in a game before and there have been games that allow players to switch characters on the fly, so it’s unclear what this unique experience can be. There is certainly a stylish quality to the CG trailer but fans don’t yet know if that is indicative of real gameplay or merely to set a tone.
Overall, the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League trailer and reveal was merely a tease for what is to come much later. Rocksteady gave some quotes about how it is approaching the gameplay and the story, but most of the bigger reveals – like gameplay – will have to wait until much later.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is slated to release in 2022 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
