There's just something incredibly unnerving about seeing Batman weilding a gun. But that's probaly exactly what the creators behind Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are going for in the latest trailer.
During The Game Awards ceremony last night, Rocksteady unveiled a new teaser that showcased the DC Comics superhero team's corruption due to the evil schemes of Kryptonian supervillain, Brainiac.
The latest trailer comes after the release of character-specific teasers for Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn and King Shark. DLC is reportedly in the works that will introduce more playable characters.
Rocksteady has previously stated that the Suicide Squad will level the playing field with the Justice League by raiding the Hall of Justice's armory and stealing a few key items that will offer crucial power-ups, such as a few of Batman's gadgets, Dr. Sivana's Speed Force Gauntlet, and more.
As the trailer confirms, Wonder Woman will also make an appearance in the game as the lone Justice Leaguer Braniac fails to capture. The Suicide Squad might serve as a backup for the Amazonian princess as she strives to release her allies, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and The Flash.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on February 2, 2024.
A closed alpha came-and-went between November 30 and December 4, without much fanfare, a telling sign that the game isn't exactly high on many radars.
