Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the next game from Rocksteady, the studio behind the mainline Batman Arkham games. This of course, comes with high expectations, given how beloved the Batman games are to this day. Suicide Squad looks set to be a decidedly different beast however, with a focus on four-player co-op across an action-packed open world.
Due to a recent leak, showing an apparent screenshot from a test build of the game, we now know a little bit more about what Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be like at launch. We won't be linking to the leaks directly, but from what they show of the main character menu, there could be a Battle Pass structure to progression.
While we wait on confirmation of this Battle Pass, and on how progression is going to be handled in the final game, here's what we know so far about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Batman reveal cinematic trailer The latest trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was shown during The Game Awards 2022. This cinematic trailer sees Task Force X confronted by a seemingly not-so-nice Batman following their capture of The Flash. The cinematic confirms the late Kevin Conroy is voicing the Caped Crusader in the Suicide Squad game. Check it out below:
Trailer za igru The first gameplay trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was revealed at The Game Awards 2021. In it, the team is tasked with taking down The Flash and Brainiac, which of course won't be easy. We see Harley Quinn, King Shark, Captain Boomerang and Deadshot in action, who each have their own unique movesets and abilities.
Trailer za priču At DC FanDome in October 2021, Rocksteady premiered the first story trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It gave fans even more details about what to expect, from Amanda Waller recruiting the Suicide Squad to lots of fighting in Metropolis.
There are plenty of references to previous Batman: Arkham games as well, like Poison Ivy and her vines halfway through. Check it out for yourself:
Otkrij trailer Kao dio DC FanDomea 22. avgusta 2020. godine, Rocksteady je premijerno predstavio prvi trailer filma Suicide Squad: Kill Justice League. Otvara se pogledom na ono što se čini brlogom superzlikovca Brainiaca, prije nego što potvrdi lokaciju igre kao Metropolis. Pomičući se prema dolje, otkrivamo Harley Quinn, a slijede je njezini kolege iz Task Force X-a: kapetan Bumerang, Deadshot i King Shark.
Poticateljica Odreda samoubistava Amanda Waller razgovara s Quinnom putem komunikacija govoreći im da se probiju do Metropolis Grand Hotela jer je "alfa meta" sada na otvorenom i treba je angažirati. Nakon montaže u kojoj grupa preuzima horde Brainiacove vojske – na OutKastov BOB – Bombs Over Baghdad – ponovo se okupljaju na krovu. Quinn se tada pokušava sjetiti koga bi trebali tražiti, dok ga iznenada ne prekine helikopterski eksploziv.
Kako se dim razilazi, čini se da je Superman spasio pilota helikoptera – samo da bi nekoliko trenutaka kasnije desetkovao ljude pomoću toplotnog vida, dok je naizgled bio pod kontrolom Brainiaca. Grupa brzo shvata da je Čovek od čelika njihova „alfa meta“, a trejler se završava tako što bumerang komično udara Supermenovu glavu, a kapetan Bumerang izgovara: „Nisi to trebalo da uradiš, ajkulo“.

Details of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's campaign are limited for the time being. We do know that it's an “original narrative” set in the DC universe and a continuation of the Batman: Arkham-verse (the universe created by Rocksteady in its Batman: Arkham series of games).
The Suicide Squad game 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 – with Waller implanting lethal explosives in the inmates' heads to ohrabri da se ukrcaju.
When the ragtag team arrives, they quickly realize that Brainiac is attempting to invade the planet and, in an attempt to do so, 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.
Metropolis will serve as the open world in Rocksteady's Suicide Squad. The city is best known as the home of Superman, taking inspiration from the likes of Toronto and New York, while also being neighbors with Gotham. During a DC FanDome panel, Creative Director Sefton Hill described Metropolis as the game's “fifth character” and hopes it will serve as a “love letter to DC fans”.
We're hoping for the majority of Justice League members to make an appearance in Kill the Justice League, including Aquaman and Wonder Woman. The Game Awards cinematic trailer confirmed Batman will be making an appearance, which is certainly interesting considering how Batman: Arkham Knight ended.
During the panel, Hill also spoke about the narrative links that will continue on from the Arkham series, stating that: “a lot of through threads and storylines you're gonna see come to fruition in this game”.

We've only seen snippets of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's gameplay so far, but we have some solid details.
Set in an open-world depiction of Metropolis, we're hoping it'll be almost like a larger-scale version of Rocksteady's Arkham City. This open-world approach should mean there's plenty to explore and we're hoping there are plenty of Easter Eggs (like in Arkham City).
We also know that you'll have the option to play the game solo or multiplayer. Players who opt for solo play can switch between other members of the squad as they please, with the uncontrolled team members being handled by AI to play alongside you.
If you want friends to join you, they can jump into the shoes of the squad members you don’t want, with up to four players able to play at once. According to Rocksteady, this is going to be a seamless gameplay experience and the co-op will be drop-in, drop-out. So, you can have friends playing with you one minute and go solo the next without it impacting your game.
You'll have four playable characters to choose from, each with their own “unique moveset” and “enhanced traversal abilities”: Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. While these exact abilities and moves haven't been specified, we did get a look at each of the anti-heroes' unique playstyles in the gameplay trailer released at The Game Awards 2021.
From what we saw, Harley is pretty agile, can land powerful melee attacks, and has a grappling hook in her arsenal, King Shark is all about brute force but can whip out a gatling gun when he needs it, Deadshot lends firepower to the group (capable of both sniping and aerial assaults). Finally, Captain Boomerang is extremely fast on his feet, with his boomerang taking out ranged enemies with ease, as you'd expect.

Leaked images show a possible Battle Pass progression system As izvještava VGC (otvara se u novoj kartici) (opens in a new tab), some screenshots were posted to Twitter on January 17, apparently taken from a development build of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, The image appears to show multiple in-game currencies, and even a Battle Pass tab. While VGC has said it has verified the information shown, there's been no official comment from Warner Bros. or Rocksteady.
While the appearance of a Battle Pass has triggered some concern for certain gamers, a source close to VGC explains that the focus will be on cosmetic items like skins.
Kevin Conroy is Batman The late Kevin Conroy has been confirmed as the voice of Batman in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Conroy voiced Batman in all of the Arkham games, as well as in Batman: The Animated Series and various movies, so it's poignant to see he was able to lend his voice to Rocksteady's latest.
New Artwork Ahead of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s appearance at DC FanDome 2021, some new key art was released. The Artwork gave us a fresh look at the game’s four main playable characters: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark.
Nema više dodatnih znakova? It looks like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League won’t be expanding its roster of playable characters beyond the four that have already been confirmed.
Kao što je izvijestio PCGamesN (otvara se u novoj kartici) , a press release for the game states that “the game’s original narrative follows the four Suicide Squad members as they take on an impossible mission to save Earth and kill the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes,” which strongly suggests no more will be added. This definitely casts doubt on previous rumors that the game will be an evolving live service title in the style of Marvel’s Avengers.
Da li se Warner Bros Interactive oslanja na uslugu uživo? According to a spotted advert for an internship in January 2021(via IGN (otvara se u novoj kartici) ), Predstojeći projekti Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment imat će „veliki fokus na usluzi uživo“.
Postoji dio advert (otvara se u novoj kartici) that states that “WBIE is currently involved in a variety of new projects, ranging from casual games to core games featuring our well-known franchises on all platforms (console, digital, mobile) with a heavy focus on live service. “
Generalno, elementi usluge uživo u igri će vidjeti kako je ažurira njen programer nakon izdavanja stvarima poput novih funkcija ili priča. To nije neuobičajeno u igrama ovih dana i može biti efikasno kada se uradi kako treba, ali takođe može biti kontroverzno kada igra ne počne dobro, npr. Marvelovi Osvetnici.
Iako se Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League ne pominje direktno ovdje, to je jedna od igara koje će Warner Bros objaviti u narednih nekoliko godina. Međutim, Rocksteady zapravo nije potvrdio da će postojati bilo kakvi elementi servisa uživo u Kill the Justice League, tako da u ovom trenutku ne možemo biti sigurni da li oni imaju bilo kakvu umiješanost u Kill the Justice League.
Gotham Knights doesn't involve games-as-a-service elements, which means that there’s no guarantee svaki igra koju je objavio Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment bit će podložna ovome. Svakako, nismo vidjeli jasne dokaze da će Odred za samoubojstvo sadržavati i servisne elemente uživo i kao rezultat toga morat ćemo pričekati službenu potvrdu Rocksteadyja prije nego što budemo sigurni.
Snimke The official Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Twitter account tweeted out some neat mugshots of the game's playable characters back in December 2020. Our favorite is the one of Harley Quinn, which you can see below:
Glasovni glumci Do sada su potvrđena dva od četiri člana Odreda samoubistava, a dugogodišnja glumica veterana Harley Quinn Tara Strong ponovo je nastavila ulogu. King Shark, s druge strane, glasat će WWE hrvač Nuufolau Joel Seanoa zvani Samoa Joe.
Iako nema službene riječi o glasu kapetana Bumeranga, naveliko se šuška da je Chris Parson dobio ulogu. Prethodno je izrazio Junkrata u Overwatchu i postoji velika sličnost kada ih slušam.
Deadshot je malo teže odrediti. Chris Cox prethodno je izrazio jednokratno čudo u Arkham Cityju i Arkham Originsu, koji su smješteni u istom univerzumu. Potvrđeno je da je i ova Deadshot interpretacija lika od Floyda Lawtona, međutim, postoji ogromna nedostatak zašto se čini da se Cox neće vratiti.
Kao prvo, audio snimak ne zvuči nimalo kao njegova verzija, a drugo – najstrašnije – ovaj Deadshot je crn, za razliku od bijele verzije koju je prikazao Cox. Stoga, bez ustaljenog glasa koji bi odmah skočio na ljude, mnogi vjeruju da bi to mogao biti nadobudni. Međutim, King Shark je poginuo u direktnom napadu na Arkham, tako da je pitanje šta je zapravo 'kanon' itekako u zraku.
Izvan samog Odreda samoubistava, potvrđeno je da Debra Wilson daje glas Amandi Waller. Wilson je prethodno dao glas Walleru u filmu Batman: The Enemy Within iz 2017.
