Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Post-Launch Content Includes Arkham and Gotham City – Rumor

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.

Rocksteady Studios’ long anticipated Arkhamverse sequel Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be available to play for those who have preordered it on Jan 30, and to the public at large on its official release date of Feb. 2.

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 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.

Rocksteady Studios’ Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will send DC villains Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and King Shark on a mission to put a bunch of good guys out of their mind-controlled misery next month. But the Suicide Squad team won’t be limited to just those four playable characters; The Joker is up next, and he’ll be brought back to life thanks to Rocksteady’s use of the multiverse — or as DC Comics has called it for the past 35 years, Elseworlds.
