Often find yourself rooting for the antihero? Then we’ve got news - there’s a new Suicide Squad game around the corner, and you might just love it! The highly anticipated fifth installment of the Batman: Arkham series is set to shake up the gaming industry - so let’s dive into what we know so far.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League release date
First things first: let’s talk release date. Developer Rocksteady Studios has confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be dropping on 02.02.24. If you consider yourself a fan, that might be a bit of a wait, but you know what they say - good things come to those who wait!
What platforms can I play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on?
If you’re worrying whether your console of choice will work with the new game, we’ve got some news. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is being developed for PC and next-gen consoles only - that’s the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. That means, if you’re rocking an older-gen console like the PS4 or Nintendo Switch, you’ll need to upgrade to play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
What’s the gameplay going to be like?
If you’re a fan of open-world games and Suicide Squad, you’re in luck - Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set to be an epic open-world action-adventure. It’s set in the same universe as the Arkham series, with Metropolis (aka the iconic home of Superman) as its backdrop. There’s sure to be loads to explore, and if you’re a team player, there’s more good news - you’ll be able to enjoy the new game solo or team up with your squad for multiplayer adventures. Woah.
In terms of the story, you’ll step into the shoes of four iconic villains: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark. Their task? To find and eliminate brainwashed members of the Justice League. Metropolis is under attack by the evil Braniac, who has mind-controlled the Justice League (including Batman) and turned them into ruthless killers. It’s up to the Suicide Squad (and you) to deal with the brainwashed superheroes and save the day. As you do.
What characters will feature in the new game?
Suicide Squad is known for it’s morally ambiguous characters - so it only makes sense that they feature in this game. First up, there’s the infamous Harley Quinn - the unpredictable and charismatic anti-heroine. Then there’s Deadshot, the deadly marksman with his signature wrist-mounted guns. Captain Boomerang brings his Aussie charm and expertise with, well, boomerangs to the table, while King Shark is the brutish powerhouse of the team.
Each character brings their unique set of skills and abilities to the table, so gameplay is set to be diverse and exciting. Expect fast-paced combat, clever puzzles and the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Justice League. Nice.
