Rocksteady Games has shown off brand-new gameplay footage forSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League,but fans are unimpressed.
The developer is famous for crafting the critically acclaimedBatman: Arkham Trilogy, which wrapped up in 2015 with the release of thelegendaryBatman: Arkham Knight. The last game in theDCtrilogy finalised the story, but left enough open for a continuation of the universe, eventually leading toSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.
Check out the trailer forSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguebelow.
The supervillains Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark and Captain Boomerang are brought together to complete a seemingly impossible task: kill a compromised Justice League laying waste to the planet. Heroes turned villains include Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and The Flash.

First impressions of the game were less than ideal, with many criticising the shift from beat-em-up gameplay to that of a third-person shooter. Players will be able to take control of the four characters, all of which have their own unique weapons and abilities, like Harley’s grapnel gun, Deadshot’s jetpack and Shark’s incredible strength.
It was also said the game will include live-service elements, like a battle pass, as well as require an online connection to function, even in single-player.
Eventually, the game wasdelayed from its 2023 releaseto early 2024 and has now returned with new gameplay footage, though it’s still failing to interest players. Take a look at the latest gameplay deep-dive below.

Onesaid: “This looks exactly the same as before? Call me a cynic but I feel like the delay was them hoping they could ride out all the negativity surrounding this game.”
Another added, “It’s almost impossible to believe that this is from the people who madeArkham Knight.” One even declared the end of Rocksteady’s DC supremacy, saying, “RIP Rocksteady.”
It’s not looking good forSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. Instead of killing off Earth’s strongest superheroes, Rocksteady has seemingly killed its chances of releasing a worthy successor to the Batman: Arkham games.Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leagueis set to launch on 2 February 2024 for new-gen platforms and PC.
