There are certain ways to tell if a video game is doing well or if it’s not. If it is, you’ll hear all sorts of things about its reviews, its “accolades,” and its impressive sales figures. If a game isn’t doing well, you’ll hear nothing about such “accolades” or trailers singing its praises. Instead, you’ll hear about how people are trying to get refunds for the title. Or, if things are really not going bad, you’ll start to see discounts for the title soon after launch. Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League is one such game that you can now get for a much-discounted price than at launch.
If you go to the Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League page on Amazon, you’ll find that both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X/S versions of the title are now available for $50. That’s a $20 price drop from the “standard price” of many AAA titles. That price drop has also followed for other stores, such as Best Buy.
So, what does this say about the title? Well, it shows that these stores aren’t getting a ton of “movement” from the title and, thus, are willing to drop their prices, even though it’d lower their profit margins. Given the “style” of places like Amazon, you must be doing badly for that to happen.
It also doesn’t help that word of mouth about the game isn’t that positive. Those who do like the game are honestly in the minority, and it should be noted that they’re some of the few people actively trying to play it. Since launch, reports about bugs, glitches, and server issues have plagued the game. Rocksteady has been trying to fix it, but they’re also getting ready to launch their first wave of DLC content.
That’s honestly the OTHER significant problem with the game. For whatever reason, Rocksteady was driven to make this a live-service title, which made many feel like they skimped on the story campaign so that they could do their Season Pass and bring in random characters from the “multiverse” to keep fans interested. Except, the game isn’t that interesting in the gameplay sense, no matter who you play.
All this points to another problem with the gaming industry: the desire to make “average” titles with potentially long “revenue streams” and hope that gamers like them. Sure, this could give Rocksteady’s title a “shot in the arm,” given that some won’t mind playing it for a discount, but you have to wonder how long it’ll last.
Today, Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady have announced the updated Season 1 roadmap for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Along with new Incursion missions, loot and The Joker, Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is also making extensive changes to existing systems. It’s reducing the requirements for its introduction to the end game, like completing Elseworld Missions requiring a Finite Crisis Rank 5 instead of 10. Completing Killing Time will require Rank 10 instead of 20, while the Hardcore version requires Rank 15 instead of 30.
Rocksteady Studios has detailed the first episode of Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, launching on March 28th, in a new blog post. There’s also a new gameplay trailer available. Check it out below.
Rocksteady reveals the full Season 1 patch notes for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, along with a look at all of the new weapons, maps, activities, and other content launching on March 28. It's been a fairly tough road for the game following it's launch in early February. Warner Bros has previously confirmed that Suicide Squad: KIll the Justice League has failed to live up to sales expectations, leaving most to wonder how and even if Rocksteady can turn the game around.
Rocksteady has explained how Joker, the first DLC character for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, will work when it's made available with the launch of Season 1 on March 28.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is currently down to just $35.69 at Green Man Gaming (£30.59 in the UK), which is a significant 49% off from its MSRP of $69.99. The Deluxe Edition also dropped to $45.89 (was $89.99). Those are big savings and well worth considering if you want to experience the controversy of killing the Justice League yourself.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finally launched last month, and it’s fair to say that it hasn’t got off to a great start. It was met with mixed reception (at best) from critics and audiences and has failed to attract a sizeable player base, with publisher WB Games recently saying that it had fallen short of commercial expectations.
