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.

Suicide Squad releases on May 26, 2023, for PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC, following a delay from its initial 2022 release window.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was announced in August 2020 via the conta oficial do Twitter do jogo (abre em uma nova guia) . An image of Superman confirmed its existence before pointing fans to DC FanDome 2020, a virtual online convention. It's here that Rocksteady officially unveiled the Suicide Squad game's initial 2022 release window and first trailer.
However, a delay was confirmed by creative director and Rocksteady co-founder Sefton Hill on Twitter (abre em uma nova guia) . Hill stated the extra development time would allow the team to bring the game up to the quality fans expect.
“We've made the difficult decision to delay Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League to Spring 2023,” Hill said. “I know a delay is frustrating but that time is going into making the best game we can.”
At The Game Awards 2022, we finally got a confirmed release date.

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 de jogabilidade 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 da história 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:
Revelar trailer Como parte do DC FanDome em 22 de agosto de 2020, o Rocksteady estreou o primeiro trailer de Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Ele abre com uma olhada no que parece ser o covil do supervilão Brainiac, antes de confirmar a localização do jogo como Metrópolis. Fazendo uma panorâmica, temos a revelação de Harley Quinn, seguida por seus colegas membros da Força-Tarefa X: Capitão Bumerangue, Pistoleiro e Rei Tubarão.
A instigadora do Esquadrão Suicida, Amanda Waller, fala com Quinn por meio de comunicados, dizendo-lhes para se dirigirem ao Metropolis Grand Hotel, pois o “alvo alfa” está agora em aberto e precisa ser engajado. Depois de uma montagem em que o grupo enfrenta hordas do exército de Brainiac – para o BOB – Bombs Over Baghdad de OutKast – eles se reconvergem em um telhado. Quinn então tenta se lembrar de quem eles deveriam estar procurando, até ser subitamente interrompido por um explosivo de helicóptero.
À medida que a fumaça se dissipa, parece que o Superman salvou o piloto do helicóptero – apenas para dizimar os humanos momentos depois através da visão de calor, enquanto aparentemente estava sob o controle de Brainiac. O grupo rapidamente percebe que o Homem de Aço é seu “alvo alfa”, e o trailer termina quando um bumerangue atinge comicamente a cabeça do Superman, com o Capitão Bumerangue pronunciando: “Você não deveria ter feito isso, tubarão”. Confira abaixo:

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 encorajar para embarcar.
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 relatado por VGC (abre em uma nova guia) (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.
Nova Arte 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.
Não há mais caracteres adicionais? 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.
Como relatado por PCGamesN (abre em uma nova guia) , 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.
A Warner Bros Interactive está inclinada para o serviço ao vivo? According to a spotted advert for an internship in January 2021(via IGN (abre em uma nova guia) ), Os próximos projetos da Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment terão um “grande foco em serviços ao vivo”.
Há uma seção do Anúncio (abre em uma nova guia) 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. “
Geralmente, os elementos de serviço ao vivo em um jogo o verão sendo atualizados por seu desenvolvedor após o lançamento com coisas como novos recursos ou histórias. Não é incomum nos jogos hoje em dia e pode ser eficaz quando bem feito, mas também pode ser controverso quando um jogo não começa bem, por exemplo. Os Vingadores da Marvel.
Embora Esquadrão Suicida: Mate a Liga da Justiça não seja mencionado diretamente aqui, é um dos jogos que a Warner Bros publicará nos próximos dois anos. No entanto, a Rocksteady não confirmou que haverá elementos de serviço ao vivo em Kill the Justice League, então no momento não podemos ter certeza se eles têm algum envolvimento em Kill the Justice League.
Gotham Knights doesn't involve games-as-a-service elements, which means that there’s no guarantee cada jogo publicado pela Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment vai estar sujeito a isso. Certamente, não vimos nenhuma evidência clara de que o Esquadrão Suicida incluirá elementos de serviço ao vivo e, como resultado, vamos precisar esperar pela confirmação oficial da Rocksteady antes de termos certeza.
Fotos de identificação 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:
Dubladores Até agora, dois dos quatro membros do Esquadrão Suicida foram confirmados, com a veterana dubladora de Harley Quinn, Tara Strong, retomando o papel mais uma vez. King Shark, por outro lado, será dublado pelo lutador da WWE Nuufolau Joel Seanoa também conhecido como Samoa Joe.
Embora não haja nenhuma palavra oficial sobre a voz do Capitão Boomerang, há muitos rumores de que Chris Parson recebeu o papel. Ele dublou Junkrat anteriormente em Overwatch e há uma grande semelhança ao ouvir os dois.
Deadshot é um pouco mais difícil de definir. Chris Cox dublou anteriormente a maravilha de um tiro em Arkham City e Arkham Origins, ambos ambientados no mesmo universo. Este tiro morto foi confirmado como sendo a interpretação de Floyd Lawton do personagem também, no entanto, há uma grande falha escancarada por que não parece ser Cox que está voltando.
Por um lado, o clipe de áudio não parece nada com sua versão, e dois – o mais represador – este Pistoleiro é preto, em oposição à versão branca retratada por Cox. Portanto, sem uma voz estabelecida imediatamente saltando para as pessoas, muitos acreditam que pode ser um sucesso. No entanto, King Shark foi morto no ataque direto ao vídeo em Arkham, então a questão do que é realmente 'cânone' está muito no ar.
Fora do próprio Esquadrão Suicida, Debra Wilson está confirmada para dublar Amanda Waller. Wilson anteriormente dublou Waller em Batman: The Enemy Within, de 2017.
