​

Rocksteady Studios' next entry into the Batman: Arkham series, and Rocksteady's first expected release since 2016's Arkham VR, has been delayed yet again. Originally announced in August of 2020 with a planned release date of 2022, it was later delayed to May 2023. This newest delay pushes the launch back to February 2, 2024.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League takes place in the same continuity as the Arkham series, and will task players with killing members of the Justice League who are being controlled by Brainiac. Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark will all be playable through four player online co-op, or players can tackle the game solo with the other characters being AI-controlled.

While players will be able to go solo, they will not be able to play offline. According to a new FAQ on the official website, a persistent internet connection will be required, even when playing alone. It also confirms that there will be free post-launch content in the form of new missions and characters, as well as a battle pass and microtransactions for cosmetic items.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will launch on February 2, 2024, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

Why am i not surprised...

I doubt even a year will be enough, especially if they don't drop the live-service/MTX bullshit, but also if they aren't able to give every member of the team unique gameplay. Only Deadshot should be gun-focused, for starters.

How can you possibly ask that question in this day and age? I bet they're going to delay it at least one more time...

Yet again, pirates will have a superior experience to those who pay. they really should stop incentivising piracy like this. hopefully they'll be able to pull it together and make an amazing game though. fingers crossed.

I have 0 hope for this game. The people who made Rocksteady great are all gone. They're nothing but a name now, like Bioware.

Too bad they just didn't make a Batman Beyond game.

If this keeps up, maybe it will be on Nintendo next console.

On no! Why?! Why it's not cancelled?

They are seeing the backlash against Redfall and don’t want to release a game at 30fps.

 

[eduall]

neh this game is so awful!

 

[xdarkx]

My only surprise is they waited a month to announce the delay after receiving backlash from fans after the latest gameplay reveal debacle.

Beyond is dope, but I've given up on any further tie-ins, and this current studio would've fucked that up anyway. A Batman Beyond game just after Arkham City and before (or perhaps instead of) Arkham Knight? That I think could've been really amazing. RIP what was left of Rocksteady.

Take your time if it stops the game from being Gotham Knights all over again.

 

[subcon959]

So they're basically redoing the whole game?

 

[MariArch]

Bro they were really about to sell us a game that apparently needed a year extra for 70 dollars! Nah I’m not buying this shit anymore, that’s some scumbag corporate bullshit

 

[LightBeam]

I don't think it'll do anything against what people are mad about

It'll probably still be offline only, with battlepasses and microtransactions and a bunch of garbage loot.

Since it's a « nice » push to feb 2024 .... I could be wrong. I hope I am. But did they really had to release the gameplay footage to see that people would be mad ? Did they really thought that all those mechanics would fit ? Maybe they are THAT out of touch and really mean to rework all that. But realistically, I prefer to think the game just isn't finished and they figured it's better to delay the game instead of releasing it broken and suffer an even worse rep through the launch

 

[yoyoyo69]

They won't unfortunately. This delay is simply for fatigue, till everyone is so sick, they forget or forgive.

I won't buy it out of principle, I really hope all the usual kiddos who usually buy trash don't give in and reward Warner Bros.

Warner Bros REALLY have some terrible management, they'll blame everyone below, clearly. But the whole corporation is an absolute mess now.

Movies are disgusting and embarrassing, now they're doing the same in gaming space.

I thought you were talking about TMNT and you forgot Bebop lol, had to go google the studio

Suicide Squad: Kill the Suicide Squad - there, I fixed the game's title for ya.

Captain Crunch must be seeing RECORD profits from this studio, whether the devs like it or not…
