From the studio that redefined what a superhero game could be, Rocksteady Studios turns the lens on villainy — asking what it means to save a world that would sooner see you imprisoned. On February 2, 2024, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League invites players into a Metropolis under alien siege, where Earth's greatest champions have become its greatest threat, and only its most dangerous criminals stand between civilization and erasure. It is a story as old as myth: the outcast, the condemned, the expendable — pressed into service not because they are worthy, but because no one else remains.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches Feb 2 with 4-player co-op
