Things We Saw Today: Check Out the Trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Yesterday, DC Fandome dropped several trailers and sneak peeks at their upcoming content slate. We got a taste of The Batman, Wonder Woman 1984, The Flash, Black Adam, and many more. We also got a look at what’s coming up in the world of gaming, with the world premiere trailer for Gotham Knights.

We also got the first trailer for Rocksteady Studios’ return to the world of DC with the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, their first game since 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight.

So excited to finally share what we're working on. The squad are so much fun to work with! #SuicideSquadGame pic.twitter.com/UJhAGLtulq

The new game will follow the same continuity as the Batman: Arkham series, and will take place in Metropolis. The story will follow the Suicide Squad as they take on Brainiac, who has the Justice League under mind control. The game features four playable characters: Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark. It can be played solo or in four-player cooperative multiplayer mode. In addition, solo players can swap squad members within game play.

The game is loosely based off of the 2017 Joshua Williamson/Jason Fabok comic book miniseries Justice League vs. Suicide Squad. Suicide Squad is set for release in 2022, when it will be available on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
