Last week during the PlayStation Showcase, Warner Bros. Games and DC revealed a decently long look at the co-op gameplay for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. This is the upcoming third-person action-adventure title in development by Rocksteady Studios.

This video shows off parts of the open-world of Metropolis, some enemies, character abilities, traversal, and more. You can play this with up to three other friends or you can play it on your own. Just keep in mind you will still need to be always online even when playing alone.

During the showcase, we got a look at some of the live service trappings that are present in Suicide Squad. These include things like loot with gear scores, where "bigger number" typically means "bigger strength." There is also confirmation on the game's official website that there will be a Battle Pass.

WILL SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE HAVE A BATTLE PASS?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will have a post-launch cosmetics-only battle pass system to earn new outfits, emotes and other items to customize playable characters. Each battle pass will have free tiers available at no cost to all Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League players, along with premium tiers that will be available via an optional in-game purchase. All battle pass items will be cosmetic and will not affect gameplay in any way.

WILL SUICIDE SQUAD: KILL THE JUSTICE LEAGUE HAVE IN-GAME PURCHASES?
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will have cosmetic items available for optional in-game purchase that can be used to customize playable characters. Each cosmetics-only battle pass will also have premium tiers that will be available via an optional in-game purchase. All in-game purchases will be completely optional and will not affect gameplay in any way.​

A second video for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League also went up that features some behind-the-scenes insight from Rocksteady devs. In this second video, the team talks about how they created elements of the game such as the Squad themselves, the evil filled city of Metropolis, and even some of their post-launch content that is planned. Again, this ties in directly with the whole "live service game" idea. You can find that video below.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be out on May 26, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.


Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an original genre-defying action-adventure third-person shooter where players take on the roles of Harley Quinn (a.k.a. Dr. Harleen Quinzel), Deadshot (a.k.a. Floyd Lawton), Captain Boomerang (a.k.a. Digger Harkness) and King Shark (a.k.a. Nanaue), who must join forces to take down the World’s Greatest DC Super Heroes, the Justice League.
