Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League a "tribute" to late Batman actor Kevin Conroy, says director

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is almost here, and its devs are saying it's one of "the most well-optimized games" they've ever worked on.

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.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's PS5 file size is 45 GB. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set within the same universe as the Batman: Arkham games, placing players in the shoes of Task Force X as they face off against some of the DC Universe's most powerful superheroes. Unlike Rocksteady's Batman games, Suicide Squad is a co-op multiplayer adventure that also features some live service elements.

In a rare and deeply appreciated show of mercy, Rocksteady says Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't designed to swallow up your entire life.

Warner Bros. Games and DC Comics have treated fans to an exhilarating glimpse into the upcoming third-person action-shooter, “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,” through the recently released third and final episode of the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Insider video series. This installment sheds light on the game’s post-launch content, promising an immersive experience for players eager to extend their adventure beyond the main storyline.

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.

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.

As Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League nears its launch, developer Rocksteady has confirmed that the game's post-launch DLC will bring iconic DC villain Joker as a playable character. The studio made the announcement Monday in the third episode of its Suicide Squad Insider developer diary series, detailing its plans for delivering free post-launch seasonal content to players who buy the game, multiversal concepts and a few multiplayer features that will be present at launch. According to Rocksteady, each post-launch season will feature two episodes and will follow the theme of a DC villain, bringing new ways to play. The new announcement follows the developers teasing hundreds of character builds and distinct loadouts earlier this month.

Rocksteady Studios, the devs behind Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, have shared an update on the game's first season and what players can expect — and fortunately, it's a character many players will be keen to see. As announced during Rocksteady's latest Suicide Squad Insider video on YouTube, it was announced that The Joker would be the next member to join the suicide squad when the first season rolls in March. 

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is going to be “one of the most generous , player friendly post launch experiences available” according to a new video from Rocksteady. Each season will include two new episodes that focus on a specific character from the DC Universe, automatically dropped in to the game and, according to the video, it’s not locked behind a battle pass.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is bringing back the Joker, having just revealed the first gameplay footage starring yet another version of the iconic character. This reveal arrives only a week after Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League teased the return of DC's biggest villain.

Rocksteady Studios is about to launch Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League on Feb. 2, and you have just a little more time to pre-order to get early access and in-game cosmetics. We won’t have a verdict on the anticipated game until later this month, but why not use the downtime to jump into the studio’s finest superhero adventures?
