Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League drops a new deep-dive 'story and gameplay' video and I'm starting to think this game might surprise us

It's been a while since we last heard anything from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League—it was April, in fact, when Warner Bros. announced that the planned 2023 release had been pushed to February 2, 2024. But if you check your calendar you'll note that date is now less than three months away, and so it is that Warner and developer Rocksteady are cranking up the hype machine with the first «Suicide Squad Insider» video, which takes a closer look at the game's story, «traversal mechanics,» and the new game world of Metropolis.

Metropolis is big, weighing in at twice the size of Gotham City in Rocksteady's previous game, Batman: Arkham Knight. To get around, the members of the squad bust into the Hall of Justice and jack some super-hardware that enables them to swing, fly, or run at super-speeds, granting them different but essentially equivalent methods of movement: Deadshot gets a jetpack, for instance, while Harley Quinn makes use of Batman's grapple and glider.

Each character will have a different playstyle, but unlike the Arkham games, in which Batman dispenses justice with flying fists of Bat-fury, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a «third-person action shooter.» So while fisticuffs will certainly play a role, guns will be the number-one way of solving problems. The new video leans into that aspect of the game by introducing Oswald Cobblepot—yes, the Penguin—as an «anti-meta weapons» dealer who the Suicide Squad «recruits the shit out of» in order to help with their efforts.

One thing the video doesn't get into (although again, it's the first in a series) is the game's live service features. We weren't impressed with the plan and neither were fans, and while there was a faint hope among some interested
