Batman: Arkham Studios Releases First Episode of Suicide Squad Insider Series
Rocksteady Studios, the renowned team behind the popular Batman: Arkham game series, has recently dropped the first episode of its Suicide Squad Insider series. This series aims to provide in-depth insights into the highly anticipated game, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, leading up to its launch in February of next year.
Exploring the Story and Gameplay
In today’s episode, Rocksteady Studios delves into the story and gameplay aspects of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. The episode treats fans to more than 20 minutes of exciting new gameplay footage and behind-the-scenes details of the upcoming third-person action shooter.
The episode begins with the Suicide Squad navigating through a Hall of Heroes-style exhibition dedicated to the Justice League. During their exploration, they experiment with various tools associated with the Justice League, such as speedster braces, jetpacks, and even obscure items like Riddler’s hat of invisibility. However, their lighthearted interaction takes a turn when they discover that their antagonists are not only Brainiac, who has taken over Metropolis, but also a Brainiac-controlled Justice League.
Sneak Peek at the Action
To give fans a taste of the action, Rocksteady Studios offers a glimpse of the thrilling gameplay of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League in the episode itself.
Assurances and Teasers
Importantly, this installment of Suicide Squad Insider addresses the concerns of Rocksteady’s fanbase, who had reservations about the studio’s shift towards live-service multiplayer gameplay instead of the single-player narrative-driven experiences they are known for. The episode aims to alleviate these worries and promises that the game will still be packed with easter eggs, DC Comics villains like Penguin, abundant loot, and much more.
Unique Abilities and Weapons
The episode also reveals that each member of the Suicide Squad possesses a unique way of traversing the vast cityscape of Metropolis. For example, Captain Boomerang harnesses a special speedster device, enabling him to run and dash through the city akin to the Flash. Additionally, each character wields a distinct melee attack. Furthermore, the Suicide Squad members specialize in different weapon types, with King Shark relying on sheer strength, while characters like Deadshot excel in gunplay.
What to Expect Next
Rocksteady Studios hints at the content of the upcoming episodes of Suicide Squad Insider. The next episode will delve deeper into gameplay mechanics, combat strategies, and the ability to customize your fighting style in unique ways.
Rocksteady’s Journey with Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
Rocksteady’s announcement of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League took place in August 2020. Subsequently, the studio released the first official trailer for the game later that month. However, fans had to wait until December 2021 for a glimpse of the gameplay. Although there was initial excitement among fans, a subsequent gameplay reveal incorporating a battle pass system and a stronger emphasis on live-service content left some potential players feeling disappointed. In light of this feedback, Rocksteady Studios decided to postpone the release of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League to ensure the best possible gaming experience, pushing it to February 2, 2024.
The Future of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
On February 2, 2024, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Fans eagerly await the release of this action-packed game, witnessing the Suicide Squad’s epic battle against Brainiac and the Brainiac-controlled Justice League.
