The Batman: Arkham Trilogy was somewhat groundbreaking for being - shock - actually great licensed games in a climate full of pretty subpar ones. Rocksteady Games is now pivoting to an anti-hero party in the upcoming Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League, which has garnered some raised eyebrows for its live service elements, but the developer claims that the team-up is its biggest story-focused adventure yet.
"It's still full of the DNA that infuses the Batman: Arkham series - those foundations of story and character are absolutely central to our process," product director Darius Sadeghian tells Play Magazine in Issue 36, seemingly in response to the live service backlash that's haunted the game since its proper reveal. "Story-wise, this is easily our biggest game."
We've already seen a taste of Suicide Squad's dramedy shanenegans in several trailers, showing a brainwashed Justice League wreaking havoc while Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark temporarily cosplay as the good guys. The game is sure to feature Rocksteady’s excellent signature narrative moments, slick cinematography, and interesting comic book remixes.
But fans were still worried about the live service influences that have stuck to the game, from the looter shooter stats flying about to the in-game store and multiple currencies. Sadeghian explains that the team is "really keen on being there for players who want to stay with us and continue the adventure." He continues: "It's really important to us that we're generous with the people who play our game, so for the first year after launch we've got masses of new content that will be completely free for people who own the game."
Among the planned post-launch content are new story missions, locations, gear, costumes, collectibles trinkets, and playable members of the Suicide Squad - "each will have their own unique mechanics and they’ll be unlockable for all players for free." Although, who knows what we'll be fighting post-launch after the Justice League is all, erm, dispatched.
We apparently shouldn't hold our breathe for a new Batman: Arkham game, since "we really do kill the Justice League." Now I'm scared.

There’s a lot of story packed into the four games in the Batman Arkham series, and with the next chapter of it set to unfold in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, we thought it was time for a catch-up. With a vast cast of iconic characters and plenty of twists and turns along the way, it can be fairly easy to forget everything that happened in Gotham so far, nevermind what it may all mean for Metropolis. Don’t worry though, we’re here to tell you about all the important stuff in as succinct a way as we can.
Rocksteady and Warner's much-disparaged live service superhero snuff fantasy Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League goes into Deluxe-preorder-only early access today, Monday 29th January, at 9pm, or if you're from the UK or US east coast, Tuesday 30th January at 12am ET and 12 GMT. Non-Deluxe peons get to play it from Friday 2nd February. With just a handful of hours till the initial release we still don't have review code, which is generally a good sign that a publisher thinks the game in question is going to get a mild-to-severe kicking.
The iconic heroes of the Justice League have gone bad, and now it's up to an unlikely array of villains to save the day in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

is a follow-up to the series from developer Rocksteady Studios, but it doesn't take much more than a glance at the game to realize that it's a substantially different experience overall. Although it's no surprise that playing as a squad of villains will yield a unique bent compared to a stint as the hero, the change in approach goes significantly beyond this basic shift. That being said, there's still a lot of common ground between and for those who enjoyed the past Rocksteady titles.
