Given the wide range of other villains in the DCU, it’ll be interesting to see just how far developer Rocksteady takes this concept and I can’t wait to see what they come up with.Ī big part of the Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League presentation was set aside to talk about the future of the game in a post-release capacity. In the video below we get to see our villains take on the powers of the hulking brute Bane, providing them with huge amounts of stopping power attacks in addition to the ability to emit venom gas into crowds of enemies.

Brilliantly, you’re not just restricted to the cosmetic appearance of whatever gear you’re wearing either – instead, your cosmetic appearance can be entirely different and still let you enjoy the Gearscore of whatever armour and equipment it is that you’re wearing to get there in the first place.Īnother neat wrinkle that Kill The Justice League brings is the notion of specialised gearsets that allow each member of the suicide Squad to channel certain abilities and qualities of other DC villains. So yeah, much drama.Īlso much like the Destiny games, Kill The Justice League has its own Gearscore metric that measures how powerful each character is through the various pieces of gear that they’ve collected from completing missions and looted from the local environment. So it’ll be interesting to see the dynamic that springs up from that too – not least because she realises that the only way she can stop the corrupted Justice League is by killing them. Speaking of the story, we also now know that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is set five years after the events chronicled in Batman Arkham Knight, a fact which helps to embed the game within the Arkhamverse while also allowing players to experience the world through the eyes of villains, rather than heroes, for the first time.Īnother neat story beat which wasn’t previously revealed was that while The Flash, Batman, Superman and other members of the Justice League have been corrupted, Wonder Woman hasn’t. Envisioned essentially as a four-player co-op squad shooter, though Kill The Justice League will invariably be better when played with friends, the game does allow AI partners to fill the void too, meaning that you can always get a game on the go and press on with, well, progressing.
