During the February 2023 PlayStation State of Play, Rocksteady Studios showed off an extended gameplay trailer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. It highlighted the game’s co-op play, gear system, and live-service support, which are all reminiscent of Marvel’s Avengers.
The game takes place five years after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. Brainiac has brainwashed heroes such as The Flash, Superman, Green Lantern, and Batman to do his bidding. There’s a big focus on co-op multiplayer as Amanda Waller recruits four Suicide Squad members — Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark — to kill the Justice League.
Developer Rocksteady gave a close look at how gameplay will work. Its largely a third-person shootwe that has a squad of four hopping around a city, shooting at enemies and purple orbs. It features six weapon classes, from shotguns to pistols. The gameplay clip emphasizes gunplay, but also fast traversal as the antiheroes leap across buildings and slam down on enemy swarms.
Harley Quinn is the most acrobatic of the four characters, being able to grapple between buildings. Deadshot can hover with his jetpack, while King Shark is a tank character that can help soak up enemy damage. Captain Boomerang has his speed force gauntlet in conjunction with his boomerang that lets him go in and out of combat fast.
Those who want to play Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as a single-player experience will be able to do so, with bots filling in as the other three characters. The game will have a power level called gear score for each character. As characters get more powerful gear, the gear score increases. There is also a battle pass that will only contain cosmetics, as well as post-launch content such as new playable characters and missions. All of that already has fans drawing parallels to Marvel’s Avengers, another superhero team-up game with similar ideas. That game is currently in the process of sunsetting its support less than three years after its launch.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches on May 26 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X.
The Call of Duty franchise has held a special place in my heart ever since I played my first Black Ops game back in 2010. That game's campaign was something else, with twists and turns that culminated in a mind-blowing finale. We can all admit that compared to those older campaigns, the recent CODs have been lackluster at best, and a complete and utter disappointment at worst. The reboot of Modern Warfare did give me some hope, as the first two installments were actually quite good, but the third game left such a bad taste in my mouth that I wasn’t exactly expecting much from Modern Warfare 4.
After recently finishing the campaign, I can say that this installment is nothing like the recent releases and instead feels closer to the franchise’s roots. For the first time in a long while, the campaign comes across as well-crafted rather than rushed to hit a release date. It arrives three years after MW3, and you can see exactly where all that time went. It seems the studio finally made listening to player feedback a priority.
Epic Games has just announced the 2026 Epic AI MegaJam, which is looking to see how much game development can be squeezed into a very short window. This is running from November 12 through November 15.
Participants can work alone or in teams of up to five people, build in Unreal Engine or Unreal Editor for Fortnite, and bring along “as many AI agents as you want.” Epic explicitly encourages coding agents, AI-generated assets, audio tools, writing tools, and other AI systems. The official event page literally says "Vibe your way to $50k.”
It’s turning into a pretty good time to be a Monster Hunter fan who plays on a phone. Capcom has confirmed that Monster Hunter Outlanders will launch on Android and iOS on October 29, giving the series a new mobile-first game just as Monster Hunter Rise is also preparing to make the jump to smartphones through Netflix.
Outlanders is being developed by Tencent subsidiary TiMi Studio Group under license and supervision from Capcom. Unlike Rise, which appears to be the full console and PC game adapted for mobile, Outlanders is a free-to-play survival hunting game made specifically for phones.
