Rocksteady Never Worked On A Superman Game, According To Report

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.

With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League just days away from release, details on the game are continuing to flood in, with developer Rocksteady Studios recently also having unveiled its plans for the Bane-themed Season 0, Season 1 (which will add the Joker, among other things), how the game’s battle passes will work, what future post-launch support will look like, and more.

With just a week away from releasing, a new live-action trailer for the game is out, teasing some hilarious chaos featuring a few famous faces.

Officially, Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League comes out on February 2nd, the same day that another big title arrives from Atlus. But a few days before, on January 30th, a special “early access” period will start for certain gamers to get into the title beforehand. These dates would excite players if they were hyped for the title. But, currently, the hype for the next game by Rocksteady Studios is “mixed” at best. An easy counter to this “mixed hype” would be to see how the reviews turn out and if critics can sway some of them to the developers’ side. Yet, if reports are to be believed, there’s a problem on that end.

With the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League fast approaching, Rocksteady has dropped a new gameplay launch trailer for the game.

Rocksteady invited streamers like Benjamin “DrLupo” Lupo to try out Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s end-game recently, outlining how Incursion Missions, Mastery Tiers and Mutators work. Incursion Missions involve venturing to Elseworlds, essentially parallel universes, and completing missions.

Much of the gaming world is holding its breath in anticipation of the Switch 2, or whatever Nintendo decides to call the follow-up to its hybrid console. For now, we know nothing about it, but it seems developers are already working on titles for the mystery machine (not to be confused with the van from Scooby-Doo).

Eight percent of developers surveyed at GDC have claimed to be working on games for the unannounced Nintendo Switch successor. While just under ten percent might not sound like a lot, this represents hundreds of developers. Not to mention, as the follow-up to the immensely popular Nintendo Switch hybrid console remains shrouded in secrecy, there are potentially some developers who declined to confirm their involvement concerning next-gen software.

One of the hardest things for gamers to see is a studio that was once on “top of the world” slowly falling apart and becoming a shell of its former self. We’re seeing this happening all over the place nowadays, with companies failing to capitalize on what’s important within the industry, layoffs happening due to “poor sales,” or even “overinvestments,” and so on. But the biggest one that has affected many studios is that they haven’t been able to make quality games like they used to, and Rocksteady Studios is the newest one to do that, which is where our story starts.

The people who founded Rocksteady Studios have started a new development studio.

Following their departure from Rocksteady Studios in 2022 after over 18 years, founders Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker have formed a new triple-A studio called Hundred Star Games. Its official website notes it to be based in London and consists of 100 people.
