Since DC FanDome of summer 2020, Rocksteady And Warner Bros. Games make us dangle Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguea video game taking place in the universe of batman arkham and where theSuicide Squad will have to rub shoulders with superheroes under the influence of Brainiac To Metropolis. This Task Force X made of harley quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot And King Shark had then shown itself at the bend of a trailer screenplay and above all a promising trailer for gameplay, obviously staged without an interface. Since then, the release of the game has been postponed and its new date revealed during the last Game Awards through a video showing Batmanpaying homage to Kevin Conroy in the role.
THE PlayStation State of Play of this Thursday evening was therefore the opportunity to finally take a closer look at this project, starting with 6 minutes from gameplay panting in co-op. In effect, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be much more epileptic than the trilogy Arkham with emphasis on character movement and fast-paced gun-toting action. Here, the objective of the group is to rescue Lex Luthorwho was taken prisoner by Flash in a container, well aided by the alien technology of Brainiac. The sequence ends with the possessed hero easily regaining control of the situation, before the providential help of wonder woman come and keep him on a leash with his magic lasso.
The other, much longer video is a Behind the Scenes in which the developers of Rocksteady come back in more detail on the approach they had for this game. Already, we learn that it will take place only 5 years following the events ofArkham Knight. A look at how the four protagonists found themselves recruited by Amanda Waller is given to us, as well as some information on their characteristic features. So, harley is the most acrobatic, being able to use a grappling hook to moveattached to a drone. Deadshot can for its part count on its jet pack and his guns, including a sniper as the good master assassin he is. Despite his imposing stature, King Shark will also be able to move easily using its fins and will act as a tank. Finally, Captain Boomerang will use a bracelet endowed with the powers of the Swift Force to move like Flash on different surfaces.
There Task Force X can also count on other villains of the universe DC, THE Penguin acting as armourer, the Toyman improving equipment, Gizmo providing delirious vehicles and hackcompletely new, which will take the form of a digital ghost and help with navigation. To control the ambient chaos at Metropoliswe will be able to use many very classic weapons (submachine guns, shotguns, machine guns, pistols, etc.) designed by manufacturers known as LexCorpwith a rarity system that abounds in recent productions and on which various accessories can be fixed. Specific sets with effects based on known characters like bane will also be involved at an advanced stage of the game.
And yes, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a service game, which will evolve long after its storyline is complete, Rocksteady promising to add content regularly, including additional playable characters. A system of seasons and Battlepass / Battle Pass is even mentioned as rumored, but will only contain cosmetic contentwith some customization examples shown, with harley wearing an outfit inspired by that of wonder woman And King Shark a top Superman. Between the emphasis on cooperation up to 4 players, since all missions will be playable alone or with othersand the preview of gameplay shown, there is clearly an air of Destiny 2 boosted with sauce Fortnite.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is therefore expected on May 26, 2023 on PS5, but also on Xbox Series X | S and PC. The film The Suicide Squad by James Gunn is he sold €11.89 on Amazon.
