Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Faces Launch Issues and Criticism

Despite a rocky start and industry skepticism, Rocksteady Studios promises robust post-launch content and a player-friendly approach to its live service elements.

  • Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, a new game by Rocksteady Studios, has been released with early access for Deluxe Edition owners, but has faced immediate server issues and a game-breaking bug that shows full story completion upon first login.
  • Review codes for the game were not sent out to major industry players ahead of release, raising concerns about the game's quality.
  • The game, which is a significant departure from Rocksteady Studios' previous single-player action games, has been criticized for its always-online nature, full-price release, in-game store, microtransactions, and plans for a long tail of live service support.
  • Despite the rocky start, Rocksteady Studios has confirmed a robust lineup of post-launch content, including new characters, environments, and gameplay mechanics, all of which will be available at no extra cost to those who have purchased the main game.
  • Rocksteady Studios has downplayed the live service elements of the game, stating they don't want the game to feel like a life commitment and aim to make the game generous with players' time.
