Title: Rocksteady Studios Announces Post-Launch Plans for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
Rocksteady Studios recently revealed more details about the post-launch plans for their upcoming game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Despite emphasizing that the game will be a story-driven action adventure, it seems that the studio’s post-launch plans still align with the live-service model.
The game is set to feature seasonal updates and battle passes, but Rocksteady Studios assured players that they won’t need to spend money to acquire new characters. The game, set in the Batman: Arkham Knight universe, will also include modern multiplayer features and additional content.
Players who purchase the Deluxe Edition of the game will gain early access and a premium battle pass, along with some extra items and outfits. However, Rocksteady Studios reiterated that post-launch content will be available at no additional cost to all players, regardless of the edition they purchase.
The studio also promised “access to all free seasonal battle pass tiers” for all players. While the game will be always-online, it appears that new story content and missions will be accessible to all players without additional charges. However, there is concern that special seasonal rewards may still require excessive in-game grinding to unlock.
Rocksteady Studios aims to strike a balance between post-launch content and monetization, hoping to avoid the pitfalls that other live-service games have encountered. Previously, the studio faced criticism for gear scores and other elements of live-service padding during a gameplay reveal in February, resulting in a nearly year-long delay to refine the game.
Fans are eager to see if the studio can deliver on its promise of a story-driven experience without being overshadowed by live-service mechanics. With the game set to release on February 2, players are eager to see if Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will live up to its potential and provide an enjoyable gaming experience for all.
