Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the next game from beloved game studio Rocksteady. This is the team behind the main Arkham series, with its last game being 2015’s Arkham Knight. Kill the Justice League is a very different project altogether, offering multiplayer functionality in its campaign. The game can be played in singleplayer too, but the focus does seem to be on playing with friends.

There are four playable characters in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League: Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Harley Quinn and Deadshot. Solo players can swap between these four characters at any time, similarly to how things worked in Arkham Knight. Those looking to play multiplayer can play with friends, each choosing one of Task Force X.

We’re still a little ways out from the release date of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, given that it was just delayed into 2024, but we do have plenty to pore over while we wait. Here’s everything you need to know about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, including all of the latest trailers and latest news.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League release date

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will launch February 2, 2024. This is after the game was delayed recently. In a post on Twitter (see below), developer Rocksteady explains that it needs more time to work on the game. This is a hefty delay, and not the first one for this project.

Trailers

We’ve seen a handful of trailers for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League so far. The first was the reveal trailer, which introduces the members of Task Force X. It even ends with an appearance by Superman.

The next showing for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League happened at DC Fandome in 2021. This trailer was much more of a story showing, and gave us our first look at The Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and the Penguin.

Next up was our very first look at gameplay. This trailer was shown off at The Game Awards 2021. Check it out below to see the game in action!

The ‘Shadows’ trailer, which debuted at The Game Awards 2022. This one features Batman, and ends with a touching tribute to Batman voice actor Kevin Conroy. This will be his last appearance as the caped crusader, as Conroy sadly passed away last year.

The latest showing for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was at a Sony State of Play event in February 2023. This was our best look at gameplay yet, and even ended with some details on the story.

Gameplay

So far, we have seen one gameplay trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. In it, each of the four members of Task Force X was shown off, alongside their weapons and abilities. It appears as though all four will have access to ranged weapons, melee attacks, and then special abilities. It is clearly the abilities that will make each character feel unique.

Harley uses a grapple hook to get around, while King Shark runs fast up the side of buildings. Boomerang is the fastest, and can warp and use speed abilities to get around. Finally, Deadshot uses a jetpack to traverse the open world.

We’ll have to wait and see before we know exactly how each character will play in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It’s clearly going to be important that each of the four playable characters feels unique, especially in multiplayer.
