Everything We Know About Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

ign.com:

Nine years after Batman: Arkham Knight, Rocksteady’s jumping back into the DC universe with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The same universe, but totally different gameplay; Suicide Squad is an open-world co-op looter-shooter. For those on the fence about Rocksteady’s latest, or for those who want to absorb every bit of information about the world, characters, and how it all works, here’s everything we know about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Set five years after the events of Arkham Knight, Kill the Justice League has us leave Gotham City for the first time,instead taking us to Superman’s stomping ground of Metropolis. If you’re remotely familiar with the Suicide Squad concept, you know the basic drill: shadowy government agent Amanda Waller has tasked a handful of DC villains to save the world in exchange for a reduced prison sentence. Any squad member who dares step out of line will promptly be fined one head for their disobedience, courtesy of a bomb planted in their necks.

And the stakes couldn’t possibly be higher this time around; after being deployed into Metropolis (which developers say is twice the size of Arkham Knight’s Gotham), our ragtag group of mercenaries finds that the city is under siege from a mighty intergalactic force in the form of Brainiac and his endless purple armies. Even worse, he’s brainwashed the Justice League, including Batman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and even Superman. The only way to stop Brainiac? You’ll never believe this, but… somehow, some way, you have to kill the Justice League.

Suicide Squad releases with four characters that, in single-player mode, you can freely swap between. Or, if you know only one of them appeals to you, Rocksteady says you can play the full game as just that one character. Player expression is a core tenet of Suicide Squad, so while each character has certain baseline abilities and all wield guns, you’ll have plenty of room to shape and mold them to your preferred playstyle.
