A new FAQ pagewas also released, confirming that the game will add new content which includes missions and characters from the Arkhamverse. Product director at Rocksteady Studios, Darius Sadeghian, also elaborated on their post-launch plans, saying: “We’re going to deliver lots of new content to our players. Also, we’re going to have new playable characters, new weapons, and new missions. For players who like to customize their looks, we’ll offer a battle pass that only contains cosmetic items.”
Although Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League draws inspiration from previous Arkham games, the gameplay focuses on gunplay and close strikes. Players must succeed in their own style with an array of traversal abilities. Each character delivers a unique method of traversing around and exploring Metropolis, the main destination which will become a part of the combat. There is also a skill tree that allows players to use the game’s gear system as they want. Rocksteady also confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will require an online connection even when playing solo.
The game takes players into Metropolis, which will be Rocksteady’s biggest largest map to date. It will be more than twice the size of the Arkham games' Gotham City, and the studio implemented some big changes to make Metropolis a part of the combat. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will release for Xbox Series S|X, PlayStation 5, and PC on May 26.
