Summary
In a new promotional spot,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguerecently demonstrated how it will use the PlayStation 5’s many technical features to create an immersive experience. After several delays since its initial announcement in 2020, Rocksteady will finally continue itsmassively popular Arkhamversefranchiselater this year inSuicide Squad. As its name implies, this spin-off action shooter will shift the spotlight over to the rogues of Task Force X, a covert unit of captured supervillains charged with a dangerous mission: eliminate the heroes of the Justice League after they are taken over by the evil Brainiac.
Over the past few months, Rocksteady has been slowly giving fans more details aboutSuicide Squad’s plot and gameplay, which will see players take control of a fiendish quartet of Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang as they run, jump, and shoot their way throughSuperman’s home city of Metropolisamid an alien invasion. Rocksteady’s past superhero titles have been praised for their immersive atmospheres, such asBatman: Arkham Asylum’s nightmarish psychiatric facility andBatman: Arkham City’s crime-ridden, open-world prison city.
In keeping with this, the PS5 has a few features that can help immerse players in the battle against the brainwashed Justice League in the upcomingSuicide Squadgame. These features were shown in a recent video posted on the officialSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueYouTube channel, consisting of previously shown clips of Task Force X in action. ThePS5 DualSense controller’s Haptic Feedback vibrationboosts the rumble of explosions, while the Adaptive Triggers allow players to feel the weight of Deadshot’s triggers or Captain Boomerang’s boomerang throws. Lastly, 3D Audio from the PS5’s Pulse Wireless headphones puts players in the heart of Metropolis through enhanced sound.
Reactions toSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehave been mixed since its original announcement, with some players anxious to jump back into the Arkhamversewhile others are more skeptical. This division would only grow after Rocksteady revealed thatSuicide Squadwill feature an RPG-like gear systemand initially require players to remain online even while playing solo, though a recent closed alpha test of the game was met with a warmer response back in November.
Only time will tell ifSuicide Squadcan overcome the odds and provide gamers with another memorable DC-based video game, but Rocksteady is certainly looking to make its world more immersive than ever before with help from the PlayStation 5’s DualSense controller and Pulse 3D audio headset. Thanks to Haptic Feedback, Adaptive controller triggers, and other notable PS5 features, players will be able to feel and hear the battle for Metropolis up close and personal whenSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguelaunches on February 2.
