Joker, the notorious clown prince of chaos, is confirmed to not solely seem in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. However he can even be a playable character.
Introduced in the third and last developer diary sequence for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios revealed the post-launch content material plans for its upcoming recreation forward of its launch date. The studio detailed the roadmap for the first season of DLC, which might be launched someday in March.
Some further content material in season one consists of new boss fights and enemy variants, a new playable setting primarily based on Joker, and two new episodes with new actions, missions, and strongholds to partake in.
Three further seasons of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League are deliberate, based on Rocksteady. Every season will introduce a new playable character and one new playable setting, amongst different issues similar to new weapons and actions.
The marquee of season one is that Joker might be a new playable character. Followers of Rocksteady’s Arkhamverse video games are in all probability mystified at the thought, given the upcoming recreation is about 5 years after Batman: Arkham Knight and the Joker from that trilogy is lifeless. Nevertheless, that is completely different from the Joker we’ve seen in these video games; relatively, this Joker was pulled from one other dimension primarily based on the Elseworld comics.
“The unique Arkhamverse Joker has been lifeless for 5 years, however that is a new Elseworlds twist on the villain,” Rocksteady studio director Darius Sadeghian mentioned in the developer diary. Whereas Rocksteady Affiliate Design Director Johnny Armstrong revealed that this Joker “was a part of the Suicide Squad in the Elseworld that he is from, which already reveals that he is barely extra cooperative than the earlier Joker we have had” earlier than teasing that this Joker is “unhinged in a completely different method.”
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is out on February 2 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Sequence X/S. For extra, take a look at our hands-on preview.
