Create Chaos in Metropolis. You are the Suicide Squad.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a new genre-bending action-adventure shooter, that can be played solo or with up to four players in online co-op, where you embark on an impossible mission through Metropolis to save Earth and take down the world’s greatest DC Super Heroes, the Justice League. 

Based on iconic DC characters and developed by Rocksteady Studios, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League combines the studio’s signature character-driven story gameplay with third-person shooter action to deliver a gaming experience unlike any other.

The playable characters featured in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are Harley Quinn (a.k.a. Dr. Harleen Quinzel), the mistress of mayhem; Deadshot (a.k.a. Floyd Lawton), the most dangerous marksman alive; Captain Boomerang (a.k.a. Digger Harkness), Aussie assassin extraordinaire; and King Shark (a.k.a. Nanaue), the demigod humanoid shark and rightful ruler of the seas. Each squad member has their own unique moveset with enhanced traversal abilities to freely explore the dynamic open-world of Metropolis, along with a variety of weapons to customize and skills to master.

Warner Bros. Games and DC debuted the second installment of the Suicide Squad Insider video series, which dives deeper into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the upcoming third-person action-shooter in development by Rocksteady Studios. 

Suicide Squad Insider Episode 2 gives fans a closer look at several Support Squad characters, including the Penguin, who is now an arms dealer able to help with upgrading weapons and crafting unique builds inspired by Star Labs, AmerTek, LexCorp, and other manufacturers rooted in DC lore. Players will recruit other DC personalities to help with a variety of customization options as well, such as Gizmo, a scientist and inventor who can air-drop armored flying vehicles that can be used in combat; Toyman, the tech boy-genius who can enhance gear based on different playstyles; and Hack,  a digital astral projection who can hack the Squad’s neck bombs to upgrade and customize each character’s skills. 

The video also introduces a familiar DC Super-Villain in Poison Ivy who is depicted in a whole new light. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Poison Ivy has been reimagined as a child skilled at creating biological toxins that can aid players by applying elemental afflictions to their melee weapons and grenades. 

After Poison Ivy’s demise at the hands of Scarecrow, she has been reborn and captured by Lex Luthor. She then escaped and is now using her knowledge of plants to create elemental weapons for the Squad. Despite having no memories of her past life, she remembers how to make some mean spores, as she can set enemies ablaze, freeze them to the bone, or electrocute an entire horde, guaranteeing critical hits against them.

All of these support characters and their gameplay features provide a deep and rewarding level of customization to your builds in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Through the use of talents, weapons, and gear, you can play the game in totally different ways as a close-range menace, dealing out brutal shotgun blasts and melee strikes, or a tactical sniper delivering devastating headshots.

The only thing that Harley Quinn likes more than explosions is bigger explosions. And explosions don’t come much bigger than with the BAAANNNG! grenade. While it delivers an earth-shattering blast, it limits you to only carrying one grenade at a time. However, Harley has a couple of tricks up her sleeve to make up for this. Like the Bullet Propelled grenade, a devilish flavor of SMG that triggers the explosion of whatever grenade you have equipped on a critical hit. Or the Prison Piñata, a Legendary melee weapon that makes Shield Harvest kills drop grenade ammo. And the gift that keeps on giving… Nesting Doll. A grenade that has a chance to spawn another grenade on every grenade that hits enemy. Brainiac’s army won’t know what hit it… (It will be several grenades).

Deadshot prefers a slightly more professional approach to eliminating Terminauts. With his trusty jetpack he can create a vantage point anywhere in space, which gives him just the right angle to start hitting headshot after headshot with The Cooler, a sniper rifle that freezes enemies with a critical hit, leaving them locked in place for the rest of the Squad to hit a shot. If you want to amp up your lethality a little more, the Paint Bomb grenade increases your critical damage against every enemy hit. And if you need to really send your damage sky high, the Shooting Star modification for his jetpack doubles your critical damage after being airborne for five seconds.

To have a snowball’s chance in hell against a corrupted Justice League, the Squad is going to have to learn some teamwork skills. And for once, Captain Boomerang is ready to work as a team and tee up some bad guys for the rest of the Squad. Combined with The Great Suspender, Boomerang can unleash the power of the Speed Force boomerang, launching enemies into the air and sending them into slow-mo for a couple of seconds. Once up there, you can ensure they’re totally plucked with the Turkey Shoot, an augmented shotgun that does massive damage to slow-mo enemies. This will prove Captain Boomerang is a team player. And he doesn’t have a body odor problem. Unrelated, but he’d want you to know.

This King Shark build will have you crashing into the action like a tidal wave, leaving destruction in your wake. With his traversal mod Give Tribute, Nanaue will instantly turn any enemies he dive bombs into shield harvestable status, allowing him to overcharge his Shield and seriously tank up, with Harvest Rain, a variant of his trusty combat knives, that massively increase his damage. This weapon is the perfect way to turn up the heat.These builds are just a taste of the personalized mayhem you’ll be able to unleash on Metropolis when Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam) on February 2, 2024, with Epic Games Store to follow on March 5, 2024.
