Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Leak Reveals Battle Pass, Live Service Elements

A leaked screenshot of the highly anticipated game Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has surfaced online, revealing that the game will include a battle pass system. The image, originally posted on 4Chan, was from a recent test build and displayed menu elements consistent with a live service game. An unnamed development source confirmed this information to VGC, stating that the battle pass will focus exclusively on cosmetic items such as skins.

The leaked start menu for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League bears resemblance to the menu in Gotham Knights, particularly in the arrangement of options on the screen. The top row features various selections, including the battle pass, a store, a codex for lore, assignable talents and loadouts, and a squad selector. Given the game’s four-player co-op system, the Squad option allows players to switch between the four main characters of Task Force X: Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and King Shark.

Below this row, there is an icon that appears to represent an in-game currency system. However, VGC’s source refuted this speculation, explaining that it is simply experience points (XP) earned through gameplay. Players can then invest these XP into skill trees to enhance their characters. The source also reassured that players will not start off weak but will begin the game in a strong state, similar to Batman in Arkham Knight.

For those unfamiliar, Rocksteady Studios’ previous game, Batman: Arkham Knight, featured a freeflow combat system with special moves that could be unlocked through a skill tree. This encouraged players to utilize a variety of moves instead of relying on button-mashing. In Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players can still complete the story without purchasing these upgrades, but they add flair and enhance the gameplay experience.

The left side of the menu in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League showcases the missions available, including the story mode, chapter selection, difficulty modifier, and matchmaking tool for finding other players. While details about the game are still scarce, it has been confirmed that players can also play solo with AI-controlled squad members, as shown in the leaked screenshot. The start menu also includes a “Game Mode” option, which likely contains missions designed for easy XP farming.

Opting for a live service model similar to Marvel’s Avengers is a daring choice, considering the backlash that game received from fans. Since the leak of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s features aligning with a live service approach, fans have expressed their discontent. Many were hoping for a narrative-driven experience in line with Batman’s legacy, with online elements added as a bonus. However, it seems that the leak suggests a different direction for the game.

Last year, both co-founders and studio heads of Rocksteady Studios, Sefton Hill and Jamie Walker, departed the company. With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League nearing completion, they decided to forge a new path in the gaming industry. The game is scheduled for release on May 26 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X. This title also marks the final voice acting performance of the legendary Kevin Conroy as Batman, who sadly passed away in November.
