Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League – Joker-Themed Area Teased in New Concept Art

Developer Rocksteady Studios has taken its new live-service multiplayer shooter set in the Batman: Arkham universe, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leauge, offline after Early Access players hit a «story completion» bug. While the standard edition of the game doesn't hit PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC until this Friday, February 2, players who purchase the more expensive Deluxe Edition, which costs $99.99 compared to the Standard Edition's $69.99 price tag, can jump in three days early. 

Like many modern releases, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League put its short early access period behind a paywall. While the game fully launches on February 2, anyone who paid for the Deluxe Edition is meant to be able to play 72 hours early. However, that is not working in practice.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out now - as long as you opted into its early access release and you live in New Zealand where it's now January 30 - but it's already been pulled offline due to a huge bug with story progression.

Rocksteady Studios has been forced to pull Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League offline just one hour into its Deluxe Edition's early access launch due to a bug that automatically completed players' games.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Rocksteady is planning to release new seasons of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League with free content themed around a different DC character, each incorporating "alternate realities" in the form of Elseworlds.

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.
