Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Rocksteady has just revealed more information about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, including plans for more playable characters.

That's exactly the type of character Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League should be looking for. [Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League](https://gamerant.com/tag/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league/) could choose a handful of characters that are largely completely unknown. Along with offering distinct personalities from the rest of the team, both Deathstroke and Peacemaker would also add some interesting combat mechanics, with Deathstroke wielding a sword for more close-quarters gameplay, and Peacemaker focusing on high-damage ranged options. After years of waiting, fans finally have a better understanding of what Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League actually is, and what they can come to expect from the game. Though the gameplay revealed so far makes each of these characters look a little same-y, there's no doubt that they're all good picks for the game, each bringing a unique personality to the narrative. One of the most exciting statements Rocksteady made during this announcement was that it would be adding more playable characters to the game after launch, and there are a few DC villains that already stick out as potential candidates.

Rocksteady's co-op shooter Suicide Squad has an alway-online requirement, even when playing the game alone.

[Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League](/suicide-squad-everything-we-know) is an always online game, even when playing alone without friendos. It's a shame, especially when Suicide Squad gives you the option of having bots fill the roles of your villainous team mates - just like Left 4 Dead 2 did when playing offline.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will have a battle pass, while its website reveals it'll need a constant internet connection to play.

Studios end online support for online games all the time, which means that even Suicide Squad’s solo-player-with-bots mode will, in all likelihood, one day become inaccessible. For players who like to customise their looks, we’ll offer a battle pass that only contains cosmetic items.” The studio pointed out that the battle pass will be for cosmetic items, while additional characters and missions will be added later via DLC.

Although it doesn't strictly look like a Riddler trophy from the Arkham games, it's clear that it's to do with the character and seems to indicate that he's returning in some form. Although the gameplay footage didn't quite live up to expectations, that hasn't stopped Arkham fans from pouring over the trailer to try and spot as many details as possible and get a greater idea of what Kill the Justice League is all about. Sadly, the footage hasn't been received very well, with many Arkham fans pointing out that it's closer to a live-service looter-shooter than the next step in the Arkhamverse.

Developer Rocksteady just revealed the first extended gameplay trailer for their upcoming game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Fans have been waiting for the next Rocksteady title because Rocksteady games were previously the antithesis of the basic kind of game that Kill the Justice League is shaping up to be. To be entirely fair, the Kill the Justice League team did state that the premium elements of their game will be limited to cosmetics. Their track record speaks for itself, and there are elements of Kill the Justice League that look like they could easily rise above some of the worst examples of those concepts I previously mentioned. Maybe you don’t technically need to purchase that battle pass or any individual premium pieces of content, but the constant reminders that the game is pushing you in those directions by emphasizing the idea that your progression isn’t as valuable if it’s not tied to premium unlocks interferes with what should be the core gameplay experience. In fact, those were the exact rumors that were going around about this game prior to the release of that gameplay trailer that some fans swore couldn’t be true. For instance, it turns out that Kill the Justice League will feature such tired modern game design concepts as gear scores, basic RPG progression, looting, and a ton of guns for every character regardless of their core abilities.

The new co-op gameplay trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League offers a new look at story and third-person shooter mechanics.

The trailer gives the clearest picture of the story behind what led to the need to “kill the Justice League”. Under the influence of Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth, The Flash reveals that the only way to stop his plan is to kill all the heroes: “we have to die to save the world”. Rocksteady’s upcoming game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, puts the Suicide Squad in the hero seat as they have to defeat the Justice League to save the world.

Hopefully this decision is reversed prior to the game’s launch. As part of Sony’s recent State of Play, fans were given an in-depth look at the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – a co-op action-adventure open-world game. This poses issues for portable devices such as the Steam Deck as well as those with a shoddy internet connection (or none at all).

It's very easy for Suicide Squad to fall into the same trap, and when this game has been heavily marketed as a story-focused adventure for the last few years, it's no wonder that the addition of gear and loot has upset many fans. If Suicide Squad's loot is more creative than just another gun with better numbers, it could go a long way in making the game feel engaging, encouraging repeat playthroughs as different characters. That all being said, if Rocksteady can actually pull off its progression systems, then it could mean big things for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. While many fans enjoyed this new look at Suicide Squad, praising its fluid mix of traversal and combat mechanics, others wasted no time in expressing their dislike of the recent deep dive, with
