DC FanDome begins Oct. 16 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific
Given Rocksteady’s track record with the fondly rememberedBatman: Arkhamseries, I should be down forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewithout caveats, but I’ll need more convincing before it even approaches no-brainer territory. For now, here’s a screenshot.
The news-filledDC FanDome 2021event starts tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. Pacific, and to get us in the Superman-stopping (or at leastslowing down) mood, Rocksteady’s Sefton Hill tweeted out an image of the upcomingSuicide Squadgame for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
It feels like such a long time coming — are we getting gameplay this weekend?

Yep, that’s Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Harley Quinn all right. All four characters are playable — if you’re alone, you’ll have AI assistance, otherwise, you can team up with three other players in “open-world Metropolis.” There’s so much left to learn.
Even if this isn’t my preferred cast of characters for a comic-based video game, especially when we’re talking about Rocksteady’s once-in-a-blue-moon output, I think I can be convinced, and I have no doubts aboutSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueprobably looking cool and fun and polished. For me, it really just comes down to the “genre-bending action-adventure shooter” foundation and how that resonates with solo play compared to co-op.
It’s not the end-all-be-all — or at least I don’t think it’ll be once the dust settles — but fans are still concerned about potential live-service-game woes, and real or not, those unfilled blanks are impactingthe perceptionof this game. We’ve been burned before!
Hopefully tomorrow’s DC FanDome showing will be illuminating and we’re left feeling confident about theSuicide Squadgame. (Reminder, it’s not coming to PS4 or Xbox One; it’s next-gen and PC only.) The launch is still penciled in for 2022, so we might get a release date or window, and worst case, there’s going to be a new trailer forThe Batman.
