Here’s what you need to know about the other open world super squad game coming from Warner Bros.
Excited to learn more about Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League? It’s fair to say that if you’re a DC fan, there are a couple of big games to look forward to in the not too distant future. Announced all the way back at the DC Fandome presentation in 2020, we’ve got two major DC games still on the way. Gotham Knights (opens in new tab) will be following the Bat Family after Batman’s death, while Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will have us tagging along villains who also may want Bats dead. It’s hard being Bruce Wayne.
Kill The Justice League is still a little while away after a delay landed it in 2023. We’ve still got some interview, trailers, and info to look at though, and it looks as action packed as any of Rocksteady’s previous DC games. So, let’s cover everything we know so far about Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.When is the Suicide Squad release date?
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was delayed in early 2022 and Rocksteady announced it’ll release sometime in 2023 (opens in new tab). We’re still waiting for a specific date, however the developers have announced at least a Spring launch window.
Kill The Justice League was originally announced for 2022, while WB’s other DC game Gotham Knights was planned for 2021. Knights was delayed to October 2022 and seems to be on track for release (opens in new tab) then.Here are the Suicide Squad trailers we’ve seen so far

The first cinematic teaser trailer (opens in new tab) for Suicide Squad peppers in a decent amount of background on the dynamics of the gang, the terms of Task Force X, and the villains of the game. As you can guess, the villains are the protagonists in this story and the usual heroes are the villains instead.
The second trailer (opens in new tab) still doesn’t feature any gameplay. It’s a story trailer that hints at a lot of Arkham game callbacks. You can spot King Shark putting on the bowler hat the Riddler wore in Arkham City and Harley Quinn firing Batman’s grapnel gun. Poison Ivy and Penguin appear to both be along for this story as well. Aside from that, trailer two mostly recaps the story setup we’d seen originally: the Justice League has gone rogue somehow and our band of four villains is out to kill them under the direction of Amanda Waller.
Finally, at The Game Awards we saw a gameplay trailer (opens in new tab). Some pretty brutal attacks—King Shark just bites a guy’s head off—were combined with slick movement as the characters fought running battles across the rooftops of Metropolis.
