DC FanDome 2021: Suicide Squad - Kill the Justice League

 

DC FanDome 2021 gave us a much better idea of what we'll be getting ourselves into with the upcoming video game "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League."

It's been a wild year for "Task Force X." Hot on the heels of their tremendously R-rated big screen reboot, DC's best bad guys are gearing up for their first stand-alone video game adventure, and their task is to (allegedly) kill the Justice League. However, in the newest trailer for the game, it looks like their mission might not be that straight forward.

From what it looks like, there is something a little bit off about Superman and the gang; it seems like they've been poisoned or drugged - or something. So the story could potentially be that the Suicide Squad has been assigned to take out some kind of possessed version of the heroes.

The trailer focuses on what appears to be the core team featured in the game: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark, but also shows a handful of other characters (good and bad), including the following:

• Amanda Waller
• Brainiac
• Gizmo
• Penguin
• Superman
• Wonder Woman
• Green Lantern
• Flash

Other locations and items of note popped up throughout the trailer, such as Arkham Asylum, a makeshift Batmobile, LexCorp and a possible cameo by Javelin.

While no official MPAA rating has been announced yet, "Suicide Squad: KTJL" does not look like a game intended for young audiences. Mild profanity is heard occasionally throughout the video, but violence looks prevalent and that exploding head (along with King Shark's pleading that Waller do the same to an incapacitated Penguin) makes it seem like we're probably in for an "M" rating upon release.

Rocksteady has a reputation for releasing incredible superhero games, so their first venture into next-gen consoles (are we still calling things "next-gen"?) will likely make "Suicide Squad" a Game of the Year contender when it hits shelves in 2022 for Playstation

, XBox and PC.
