Everything you need to know about Task Force X’s most dangerous mission yet.
Hungry for details on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady’s next triple-A outing? Then you’ve come to the right place. Since its announcement at the DC Fandome presentation in 2020, we haven’t heard all that much about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League but we’re hoping 2021 will bring more news, especially with Warner Bros confirmed to be attending the all-digital E3 2021 and DC FanDome making a return. So far, we know that the game is set in the Arkham-verse Metropolis and will give players the choice between playing solo or with up to four players via online co-op. There’ll be four playable characters to choose from, each with their own “unique moveset” and “enhanced traversal abilities”: Harley Quinn (Dr. Harleen Quinzel), Deadshot (Floyd Lawton), King Shark (Nanaue), and Captain Boomerang (George “Digger” Harkness). Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is scheduled to release in 2022, the same year as WB Montreal’s Gotham Knights, so it’s safe to say 2022 is a big year for DC fans. When it does launch, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be available to play on PS5, Xbox Series X and PC. In the meantime, we’ve gathered together all the latest news and rumors about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League below, so read on to find out more. [Update: DC FanDome is returning for 2021, bringing another opportunity to get an update on Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Read on to find out more.] The announcement of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was confirmed on August 7, 2020 via the game’s official Twitter account. An image of Superman facing away with a target locked upon his head revealing the games‘ title confirmed its existence before pointing fans to DC FanDome, a virtual online convention due to take place later that month – where Rocksteady officially unveiled the Suicide Squad game’s 2022 release window and first trailer. Outside of a 2022 release window, Rocksteady and Warner Bros. have yet to give a specific release date for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Historically the developer has launched games between May and October, giving us a slight indication of what date the Suicide Squad game could land on. As part of DC FanDome on August 22, 2020, Rocksteady premiered the first trailer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It opens with a look at what seems to be supervillain Brainiac’s lair, before confirming the game’s location as Metropolis. Panning down we get the reveal of Harley Quinn, followed by her fellow Task Force X members: Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark. Suicide Squad instigator Amanda Waller speaks to Quinn through comms telling them to make their way to the Metropolis Grand Hotel as „alpha target“ is now in the open and needs engaging. After a montage where the group takes on hordes of Brainiac’s army – to OutKast’s B.O. B – Bombs Over Baghdad – they reconverge on a roof. Quinn then tries to remember who they should be on the lookout for, until being suddenly interrupted by a helicopter explosive. As the smoke clears, it appears that Superman has saved the helicopter pilot – only to decimate the human moments later via heat vision, while seemingly under the control of Brainiac. The group quickly realize that the Man of Steel is their „alpha target“, and the trailer ends as a boomerang comically hits Superman’s head, with Captain Boomerang uttering: „You shouldn’t have done that, shark“. Check it out below: DC FanDome returns DC has confirmed that its online event DC FanDome will be making a return in 2021, specifically on October 16. It was during the 2020 iteration of the show that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was first revealed to the world so it seems very possible that fans could receive an update on the game during this year’s show.
