TheSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League release date was recently pushed back pretty significantly. It'll now release next year, and it's unclear as to whether there will be big changes to the gameplay shown off previously.

The game is built around Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark and Deadshot, as they are tasked with eliminating brainwashed Justice League heroes. This includes Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash. Players will be able to team up in squads of four to take on enemies across a huge open-world city environment. One thing's for certain, it's gonna have to really nail its combat to be considered one of the best co-op games around.

While we wait for more on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, here's what's been revealed on the game so far. This includes all of the latest news and trailers, as well as a look at gameplay. As more details come to light, this page will be updated.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguereleases on February 2, 2024 for PS5,Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. This is following a delay from its 2023 release window. The delay came after backlash surrounding a showing of the game at a Sony State of Play event.

Unfortunately, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will not be coming to last-gen consoles like PS4 and Xbox One.

Rocksteady revealed a behind-the-scenes trailer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League during PlayStation's February 2023 State of Play live stream. In this trailer, we get to see a more extensive showcase of the individual skills that each character has during the midst of battle, including how this crew will work together and what kind of enemies they will have to face up against.

There are other Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League trailers scattered through this article, but if you want to take a closer look at everything Rocksteady has to offer, check out its official YouTube channel. 

Suicide Squad picks up sometime after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight and sees Amanda Waller (AKA «The Wall»)  putting together a task force of Arkham inmates, known as the Suicide Squad. Their goal is to undertake a covert mission in Metropolis.

When the ragtag team arrives, they quickly realize that the supervillain Brainiac is attempting to invade the planet and has brainwashed the Justice League (including the Flash, Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern). To save the planet, the Suicide Squad needs to hunt down each brainwashed Justice League member and eliminate them — oh, and takedown Brainiac. 

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set in an open-world depiction of Metropolis, which will be like a larger-scale version of Rocksteady's Arkham City. This open-world approach should mean there's plenty to explore.
