The term ‘superhero game’ used to be a bad word in gaming circles, at least up till the mid-2000s. Before, superhero games were only tangentially related to the superheroes they were portraying. Batman would have him doing street races (huh?), Superman would be flying through hoops (why?), or various generic beat-em-ups (boring!). There were a few good games, but those were few and far between.But things are very different now with gamers eagerly awaiting superhero titles. A lot of the credit falls to Rocksteady Studios.…

2024 is off to a flying start when it comes to games, with major titles like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth, and Tekken 8 releasing in January. February, too, promises a host of new launches across different genres from big-name developers like Rocksteady Studios, Square Enix, and Ubisoft. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League kicks off this month, bringing players back into the beloved Arkham universe, albeit with a live service twist. While previous Batman Arkham games were…

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is out now for players who purchase the game's more expensive edition which includes, among other perks, a few days of early access. That means some DC Comics fans are well on their way to weighing the merits of Rocksteady's first post-Batman game, even as it's still set in the Arkhamverse. But according to one early scene in the game, Rocksteady still doesn't consider WB Montreal's Batman: Arkham Origins to be part of that story universe.Please note this story…

Rocksteady is in the process of compensating players with $20 in-game currency for those who purchased the digital deluxe version of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.The reasoning behind it is that shortly after the game went live in early access for those with the digital deluxe edition, there was a bug that caused players to "auto-complete" the game, and the only way to solve this was for Rocksteady to pull it offline. Since the game is always online, pulling it offline meant that it would become…

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League seems to have hit a new hurdle right out of the gate. The co-op looter shooter from Rocksteady Studios is all set for a full release on February 2 and was supposed to be in its three-day early access launch for customers who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition. The developers, however, were forced to pull the title offline barely an hour into its early access release due to a major bug. Rocksteady confirmed Monday that several players, who logged into the game in early access, encountered…

Rocksteady’s new third-person action shooter has been pulled offline when players encountered a bizarre bug that immediately beats the game. We’ve all heard of game-breaking bugs, but this may be the first game-beating bug. Obviously, players want more than three minutes of playtime out of their $70 purchase.The issue immediately locks players out of all story missions, including tutorials, in a race to reach the end credits. This also makes it impossible to receive trophies and achievements, though most purchasers will…

As if there wasn’t enough reason to be skeptical about Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, it appears controversial DRM Denuvo has been added to the PC version of the live service game just days before launch. The Steam Page for Suicide Squad was updated just yesterday to include the following warning message: Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-Tamper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbYRmN9B_Io Tough Nut to Crack While historically Denuvo DRM has done a decent job of serving its purpose: preventing the…

Rocksteady Studios has been forced to take Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League offline, less than an hour after it was launched in early access. Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is due for release February 2 via PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Steam but players who purchased the more expensive deluxe edition can access the game 72 hours early. That early access window opened earlier today (January 29), starting with players in New Zealand, but the game was quickly taken offline due to a bug. When some players logged…

As Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League nears its launch, developer Rocksteady has confirmed that the game's post-launch DLC will bring iconic DC villain Joker as a playable character. The studio made the announcement Monday in the third episode of its Suicide Squad Insider developer diary series, detailing its plans for delivering free post-launch seasonal content to players who buy the game, multiversal concepts and a few multiplayer features that will be present at launch.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is merely weeks away from launch and ahead of that, Rocksteady has teased ‘hundreds' of build possibilities for its lead characters. The details come from the game's official Discord server, where director Axel Rydby explained that the endgame portion was based around complete Mastery, forcing players to switch out builds based on rising difficulty. It's too early to tell whether one could easily plough through fights with an overpowered build they found in the early game, but the…
