A Peek into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
A recent image reveals Harley Quinn in a conversation through an earpiece. This comes from the creators, Rocksteady and WB Games, who have made an unusual move. They have decided to partially lift the non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that was previously set around an alpha test of the forthcoming game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. This decision follows a wave of mixed and negative previews.
Alan Wake 2: Building on the 'Remedy-Verse'
Check out this video that shares insights into how Alan Wake 2 builds upon the 'Remedy-Verse'. You can also share the video on Facebook, Twitter, Email, and Reddit. The video discusses the Tears Of The Kingdom's Newspaper Questline and the State Of Hyrulean Journalism, and also gives a glimpse into the God Of War Ragnarök DLC.
Preview Reactions to Suicide Squad
Earlier in the week, several outlets and content creators shared their first impressions of Rocksteady’s open-world co-op looter-shooter supervillain game, Suicide Squad. While some had positive things to say about the upcoming DC game, many others expressed concerns about the game's clunky combat, subpar traversal controls, monotonous missions, live-service issues, uninspiring loot, generic action, and a lack of diversity in each team member's mechanics. Rocksteady now seems to be trying to alter the narrative around its frequently delayed co-op game.
Partial NDA Lift
On January 11, Rocksteady announced that it was partially lifting the NDA that was in place for a November 2023 alpha test of Suicide Squad. Players are now allowed to openly discuss the early section of the game they played last year.
Rocksteady's Response
"Now that there is more news out on the game and players are asking, we’re no longer enforcing a portion of the NDA," Rocksteady explained. "We’re allowing players to talk about their experience from the Closed Alpha Test. We’ve heard the community requests and want to give players an opportunity to discuss what it’s like to explore Metropolis as Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark."
Remaining NDA
Rocksteady made it clear that the rest of the NDA still applied, asking players to not share any images or videos from the closed test.
Why Lift the NDA Now?
The recent previews weren't positive, and many players who got a chance to play a large chunk of the game in November enjoyed it. However, these players couldn’t freely discuss the Suicide Squad alpha test due to the NDA restrictions. Now, Rocksteady really wants those players to start posting online about how much fun they had playing Suicide Squad, likely to present an alternative to the mixed previews from earlier in the week.
Final Thoughts
Will it work? Perhaps. At the very least, it’s nice that these players will be able to freely share their experience playing the alpha without fear of lawyers or legal issues. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on February 2.
