Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Teases ‘Hundreds’ of Builds, Post-Launch Content

As the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League approaches, Rocksteady, the game’s developer, has teased the potential for ‘hundreds’ of build possibilities for the main characters.

The information emerged from the game’s official Discord server, where director Axel Rydby elaborated on the endgame experience, emphasizing the importance of complete Mastery and the necessity for players to adapt their builds as difficulty increases. While it remains unclear whether players can effortlessly overcome challenges with overpowered builds from the early game, Rocksteady has assured the provision of eight loadout slots for convenient gear access, each triggering unique status effects that can be upgraded.

Director Axel Rydby expressed the desire for players to personalize each character, tailoring builds to suit their playstyle. The game encourages experimentation with gear, offering the possibility of discovering exceptionally powerful combinations. The term ‘Afflictions’ is used to denote status effects, inspired by the DC Comics character Poison Ivy, whose potential return was hinted at in Batman: Arkham Knight. Afflictions, such as Deep Freeze, Diablo Blaze, and Venom Frenzy, allow players to inflict icy damage, burn enemies, and unleash chaotic power, respectively.

In addition to the diverse build system, the game introduces post-launch content featuring game-changing combinations. Poison Ivy reappears as a ‘precocious toddler’ with genetically engineered toxic powers, retaining minimal memory of Task Force X. Her death in the previous game at the hands of Scarecrow’s toxins led to her rebirth as a new flower.

Each character, including Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang, possesses a unique Talent Tree with skills tailored to their personalities. Harley Quinn’s tree emphasizes acrobatic moves and explosion-based weaponry, while Deadshot’s focuses on critical damage for precise and deadly shooting. King Shark relies on melee combat, and Captain Boomerang utilizes blink abilities for swift map traversal. While Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League features familiar looter-shooter mechanics, Rocksteady avoids labeling it as a live-service game, although elements such as a battle pass, grinding, and plans for post-launch content are present.

The shift from Rocksteady’s renowned single-player Batman games to a Games as a Service approach aligns with Warner Bros.’ strategy to transform major franchises into enduring products. This approach has faced criticism from gamers who are wary of extended play commitments. Meanwhile, recent reports debunked rumors of Rocksteady working on a failed Superman game pitch. Following Batman: Arkham Knight, the studio developed the Batman VR game and an undisclosed multiplayer project based on an original franchise.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is scheduled to launch on February 2 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X.

As the highly anticipated release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League approaches, Rocksteady has unveiled an intricate and expansive build system that promises players the opportunity to explore ‘hundreds’ of possibilities for their lead characters. Director Axel Rydby, in a discussion on the game’s official Discord server, shed light on the endgame experience, emphasizing the importance of Mastery and the need for players to continually adapt their builds as they face rising difficulty levels. The game’s developers have introduced eight loadout slots, ensuring easy access to gear, each with the ability to trigger unique status effects that can be upgraded for enhanced power.

Rydby expressed the team’s desire for players to feel a sense of ownership over each character, allowing them to tailor builds to suit their individual playstyles. The build system encourages experimentation, promising players the discovery of incredibly powerful combinations if they choose to delve deep into the gear customization options. The term ‘Afflictions’ has been coined to refer to the status effects, inspired by Poison Ivy from DC Comics, offering players the ability to unleash icy damage, burn enemies to ashes, and create chaotic havoc.

In addition to the robust build system, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League introduces the concept of post-launch content, teasing the inclusion of game-changing combinations. The return of Poison Ivy as a ‘precocious toddler’ with genetically engineered toxic powers adds an intriguing narrative element to the game, linking it to previous storylines.
