Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the next title from the creators of Batman Arkham, offers a new and very long video to tell us about two important components of the game.
Batman Arkham is dead… long live Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? You will be able to judge for yourselves. After almost 10 months of absence, the new production from Rocksteady Studios and Warner Bros Entertainment is slowly preparing for its release by beginning a promotional marathon.
A gameplay video for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Ready to take command of the anti-heroes of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League? Before its launch on PS5, Xbox Series and PC on February 2, 2024, the app begins to share more details about it with a first behind-the-scenes video. Despite its service game aspect, Rocksteady affirms that the scenario will have an important place and that their new baby will expand the Arkhamverse. “At Rocksteady, story telling and character depth are key elements of our games. With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, we wanted to explore the world we began creating in the Batman: Arkham series, but this time putting players in the shoes of the villains in chaotic, action-packed battles and gameplay focused on exploration ».
The humor and the narration seem indeed there, even if it is impossible to get a concrete idea in such a short time. But the intentions will perhaps reassure some. After recalling the pitch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is explained in the name of the game, the developers show several gameplay sequences for each playable character. Because yes, unlike Batman Arkham, we will play Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark, knowing that in solo, we can go from one to the other.
A surprise hidden in pre-orders
To traverse the open world of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, each anti-hero has their own method. Bat-grappling hook for Harley, backpack reactor for Deadshot or even natural force for King Shark, all will move with their own means. “Moving is at the heart of our game. You will always have to move and master the abilities of each character to succeed” warns the studio. Towards the end, we also have a focus on the gameplay during the fights, which already differ from those of Batman Arkham since here, melee seems much more secondary. The Suicide Squad prefers above all to use gunfire rather than using melee weapons.
Rocksteady Studios took advantage of this new focus on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to reveal a nice surprise for fans of these characters. Everyone will be able to wear a classic outfit, like Harley Quinn who will find her superb original red and black costume. However, note that these are pre-order bonuses only.
