Game news 109 € for a huge bug during early access, players eager to play Suicide Squad are suffering while the game has not yet officially launched

A bullet in the foot

The closer the release of Suicide Squad approaches, the less things seem to be going well for Rocksteady’s new production. VGC informs us that Warner Bros. Games had to hastily remove Suicide Squad from the servers less than an hour after the release of early access, the first players having been victims of a bug automatically completing the title upon first connection! This is not a hidden superpower, nor a pre-order bonus, but a big problem that the developers will have to quickly correct with a patch.

“We are aware that a number of players are currently experiencing an issue where when they log into the game for the first time, the story is completely completed”, recognized the studio on X/Twitter. Before adding: “To resolve the issue, we will be performing maintenance on the servers. During this period the game will be unavailable. We expect this operation to take several hours and will update you as soon as we have more information. We apologize for the inconvenience caused”. This should please those who paid more money to ultimately have less time to spend on early access.

How did players already access the game? Simple, by pre-ordering the Deluxe edition available at 109.99 euros on the stores which allows access to the software 72 hours before its official releaseand by making your console believe that it is located in New Zealand (very simple trick to do on Xbox).

Hold one’s breath

Since the announcement of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady has faced slanderous comments on the Internet. Players don’t like the idea of ​​being faced with a service game, they who still have the bad memory of Avengers in their minds. In our preview of the title, we had questions about the overall experience, the HUD, general readability, overly busy menus, and writing. Press feedback on the preview was, as a general rule, not reassuring. The fact that no test is yet available (because of closed servers) adds a little more suspicion as to the qualities of the title. Finally, we recently learned that the former founders of Rocksteady have opened a new studio and will be looking to hire their former comrades.
