After a rocky week for Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, the developer appears to be soldiering on with the release of a new "gameplay launch" trailer.
Last week, embargos from a special event the developer had with several video game outlets lifted and the write-ups for first impressions didn't exactly put the game in the best light.
Although the game's launch version is likely to disappoint gamers, the game has a foundation that might someday be developed into something amazing, according to the most optimistic first impressions write up.
Since Rocksteady has already stated that more members will be added to the Task Force X roster in the future, they should see that viewpoint as a victory. The developer has confirmed that the only things that will be locked behind a paywall are cosmetics, as future playable character additions will be available for free.
Now that a fresh gameplay launch trailer has surfaced, fans who were previously dubious about the game are starting to warm up to it as they grow enthusiastic about the title's potential.
According to Rocksteady's previous statements regarding the game's plot, the Suicide Squad will increase their power set to take on the Justice League by raiding the League's own Hall of Justice armory and taking a few essential items that will provide vital power-ups, like some of Batman's gadgets, Dr. Sivana's Speed Force Gauntlet, and more.
Additionally, the TaskForce X team will have backup in the form of the "Support Squad", which consists of Poison Ivy, Penguin, Gizmo, Hack and Toyman.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024. Do you plan on purchasing the title on day one or will you wait to see how the servers hold up and what the consensus is from nonmedia outlets who received free, early copies? Let us know in the comment section below.
