Rocksteady’s Suicide Squad game will be playable offline but not at launch

While Rocksteady's previous superhero games have all been playable offline, the studio is taking a different approach with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which is set feature ‘live service' elements, which typically means an always-on connection is required. Fortunately after viewing some feedback, the team has now opted to go back and create an offline mode. 

If you don't want to engage with the online elements of the Suicide Squad game, you won't be forced to. Well, you will be at first, as offline support won't be ready in time for the game's launch in February. However, the team is planning to “provide this update in 2024”, so it should arrive before the end of next year, Rocksteady confirmed via the game's official Discord server.

In the meantime, Rocksteady will have plenty of time to sell people on the online aspects of its game, something not really seen in the previous Batman: Arkham titles.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is on track to release on the 2nd of February 2024 for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
