Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Rocky Launch

The launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hasn’t been going particularly smoothly. Despite the game’s high anticipation, it has faced harsh criticism during previews and its early access period has been marred by significant downtime. In an attempt to mitigate the crisis, a handful of early access players were offered $20 worth of in-game currency as a token of appreciation. However, it comes in the form of LutherCoins, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Rocksteady, the developers behind the game, have had a challenging couple of months. Typically, AAA games receive positive previews, with publishers carefully managing behind-the-scenes efforts to ensure favorable coverage. However, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has faced overwhelmingly negative previews, which is quite uncommon. As a result, the developers took a rather unusual approach: allowing alpha testers to break their non-disclosure agreements and share their positive experiences. Unfortunately, this attempt to change the narrative did not prove as effective as they had hoped.

Moreover, the game’s decision to adopt a live-service model similar to Destiny, incorporating gear scores and battle passes, has also been met with disappointment. This disappointment was further exacerbated by the severe server problems experienced during the early access period. Despite being primarily a single-player game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League requires an internet connection due to its entanglement with live-service elements. Warner Bros. and Rocksteady have promised an offline version in the future, but details remain vague at this point.

While the offer of $20 worth of in-game currency to Deluxe Edition customers is a gesture of goodwill, its impact remains uncertain. It is unclear whether players would have actually spent that money in the game otherwise. However, it is an acknowledgment from the developers that they recognize and appreciate the patience shown by early access players.

With all the ups and downs surrounding the game’s launch, one can’t help but wonder how the rest of the week is going for Rocksteady and Warner Bros. and how the players are coping with the challenges they’ve encountered.
