Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has caught a lot of flak for being a live service game already, but developer Rocksteady Studios has nonetheless made plenty of promises about consistent post-launch support over the months following the game’s release. Of course, like any live service game, each season of content will also bring a new battle pass for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and in a recent Q&A over on the game’s official Discord channel (via MP1st), studio director Darius Sadeghian recently revealed new details on what to expect from the game on that front.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now out. Kinda. Those who pre-ordered the $100 deluxe edition can now play the game, while everyone else has to wait until Feb 2. Then again, given that bugs and glitches saw the game unceremoniously yanked offline hours after its launch and the servers only seem to be sporadically up, few people have been able to put serious time into it.

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.

As a live service third-person looter shooter, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has gone down a very different direction from the Batman: Arkham games that put developer Rocksteady Studios on the map, and though that significant deviation is something that fans of the studio’s past work have been pretty vocally displeased about, Rocksteady says that in terms of story, Suicide Squad still very much abides by the studio’s philosophy.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has the same "DNA" as the Batman: Arkham games, says Rocksteady. This comes as many remain sceptical over the studio should working on a live service, since it previously found its success with single-player games.
