Suicide squad early access halted by bizarre bug

The Early Access release of "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" hit a significant snag when it went live, as players encountered a bug that showed the campaign as already completed. This discovery led to the game being taken offline within an hour of its release in New Zealand. Developer Rocksteady Studios, known for the Arkham series, confirmed that fixing the issue could take several hours. The game lets players control members of the Suicide Squad in a fight to save Metropolis and the world after Brainiac takes control of superheroes like Superman. Available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, the game supports both single-player and four-player cooperative modes. A new live-action trailer for the game was also released.

Why was "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" taken offline shortly after its Early Access launch?

The game was taken offline because of a bug that caused the campaign to appear as if it were already completed for many players.

"Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" is set in the same universe as the critically acclaimed Arkham games. Rocksteady Studios, the game's developer, has a strong track record of creating engaging superhero games that offer deep immersion and robust gameplay mechanics. Their previous titles, such as "Batman: Arkham Asylum," "Arkham City," "Arkham Knight," and even "Arkham VR," have set a high standard for action-adventure games, blending stealth, combat, and narrative in a richly detailed world. Players have been eagerly anticipating "Suicide Squad" to deliver a similar level of quality and innovation, particularly with the twist of playing as iconic villains from the DC Universe.
