The wait for Rocksteady’s new project finally came to an end earlier today when Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was finally announced. The game had a 20-minute segment at DC FanDome where new details were revealed and a trailer confirmed the title’s release window and launch platforms.
Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game leaked earlier this month when a poster featuring Superman’s head in crosshairs appeared. The studio stayed silent on the topic, saving all the big reveals for its slot at DC FanDome. Rocksteady didn’t disappoint, revealing that players will be able to control Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Captain Boomerang in single-player or co-op missions to take out members of the Justice League.
The cinematic trailer for Suicide Squad also confirmed that the game will only be released on PC, Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 platforms. The release window for Suicide Squad is set for 2022 which firmly places the game in next-gen territory. The new Xbox Series X and PS5 are aiming to launch Holiday 2020 this year, giving Rocksteady a couple more years to develop the game for next-gen standards and potentially gain an advantage from spending more time with next-gen technology.
The other big game DC game, Gotham Knights, was also announced at DC FanDome earlier today. Gotham Knights will allow players to take control of members of the Bat Family in an effort to maintain order in Gotham City after Batman’s death. Gotham Knights, however, will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One in addition to next-gen consoles, whereas it looks like Suicide Squad will rule out any players who don’t have next-gen consoles by its release in 2022.
Rocksteady is known for developing the massively popular Batman Arkham games, which spanned three releases across two generations of consoles. The Arkham games significantly built upon the features of each console generation and it can be assumed the studio plans to do the same with Suicide Squad and will tailor it for peak performance from next-gen consoles. It’s likely Suicide Squad will entice plenty of players to invest in a next-gen console if they haven’t already by the game’s release date.
It has also been confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will take place in the Arkham-verse that Rocksteady created in the Batman games, which allows the studio to build on the playground of its previous games. How the Arkham games build into the world of Suicide Squad is yet to be explained, but it’s possible that the secret ending of Arkham Knight may finally be explained in Rocksteady’s new game.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will release in 2022 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
