The creators of the Batman: Arkham series are back with a brand new action-adventure shooter. The
most dangerous villains in the DC Universe have been forced to team up and take on a new mission: Kill the Justice League. Create Chaos in Metropolis. You are the Suicide Squad.
Coming in 2022 to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
If this is a team-based shooter in the vein of Overwatch, then count me out. As much as I love Overwatch's character designs and backstories, I just can't get into the multiplayer competitive deathmatch aspect of it. To be fair though, we don't get any actual gameplay from this trailer, just a tease at what the Squad is capable of before revealing a Brainiac-controlled Superman as the antagonist. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the entire Justice League are being controlled by Brainiac and Amanda Waller has the Squad sent out to terminate them. It sounds interesting for sure, but I can't say that this is something that I would go out of my way to play.
If the premise isn't crazy enough, then here's one more - Rocksteady has confirmed that this game is canonically part of the Arkhamverse of Batman-themed video games. That fact alone has intrigued me enough to keep my eye out for this though.
