New Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video series launches alongside pre-orders

Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady have launched a new Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video series alongside pre-orders for the game.

Viewable below, the first episode of ‘Suicide Squad Insider’ covers the game’s main story, the Squad’s traversal mechanics, and offers a peek at the world of Metropolis.

Billed as a “genre-bending action-adventure shooter” set in an open-world Metropolis, Suicide Squad was announced in August 2020 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC.

The game’s original story follows Suicide Squad members Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark, who are on a mission to save Earth and kill the world’s greatest DC Super Heroes, the Justice League.

To coincide with the launch of the new video series, Warner has detailed two editions of the game which are now available to pre-order.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was originally planned for release in 2022 before being pushed back to spring 2023. A May 2023 release date was later announced before the title was delayed again, this time to February 2, 2024.

News of the most recent delay was announced two months after a 15-minute Suicide Squad showing attracted criticism from some fans due to the game’s live service elements, such as the requirement to play online even in single-player mode.

The presentation also confirmed that the game would feature a battle pass, which Rocksteady claimed would only contain cosmetic items. Post-game support including new characters and missions was also announced.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is playable solo or with up to four players in online co-op, which supports full cross-platform and cross-progression.
