Rocksteady's latest title releases in\u00a0Early Access on Jan. 30\u00a0ahead of\u00a0full release on Feb. 2, but\u00a0Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League\u00a0already faces an uphill battle with a lukewarm reception, and a significant launch bug has caused fresh concern. After the game started to roll out in early access in New Zealand at midnight local time on Jan. 30, which also meant players could play early by using the New Zealand trick on Xbox, a major bug was identified that showed players had full game completion upon loading into the title for the first time. Developer Rocksteady quickly issued an\u00a0update on X\u00a0(previously Twitter) and Discord, announcing that the servers are being taken down for maintenance and players should \"expect this to take several hours,\" with further updates to follow. As\u00a0Suicide Squad\u00a0requires constant connection to the servers, the maintenance renders the game unplayable, and as each hour passes, the game will become available to more and more people worldwide\u2014so Rocksteady will be desperate for the downtime to be as minimal as possible. Suicide Squad's online-only status has been a topic of controversy ever since the approach was announced, with it being a far cry from the\u00a0Batman Arkham\u00a0series Rocksteady is famous for and a considerable surprise as the two series share the same universe. While not available at launch, Rocksteady has confirmed story mode would be\u00a0available offline in a future update.\u00a0 Rocksteady has desperately been trying to get fans back onside, announcing each season in the game will be free to enjoy and will introduce new playable characters, the\u00a0first of which is The Joker, and content in the Battle Pass is not time-limited and only includes cosmetics.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/suicide_squad_kill_the_justice_league_02.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112954"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2203"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1112954"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1113001,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1112954\/revisions\/1113001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1084834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1112954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1112954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1112954"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1112954"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1112954"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1112954"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1112954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
