Developers hard at work on early access bugs

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguereleased into early access for owners of the Deluxe preorder edition earlier this week, granting armchair supervillains prepared to shell out £100 or $100 a headstart on players buying the regular edition, which launches this Friday 2nd February. Or at least, that was the idea.

The developers have now offered Deluxe edition owners 2000 in-game LuthorCoins - worth $20 or £16, though I have yet to track down a source for this conversion - as compensation. If you’re among them, it looks like you’ll be told via the game’s messaging system.

All this seems pretty standard for big budget live service launches, for me, but that doesn’t make it acceptable, and it’s good that Rocksteady are trying to make amends. If I’d splurged one hundred RealCoins on a game and it triumphantly finished itself, you’d best believe I’d want some extra-fancy King Shark trousers for my troubles.

The other on-going big discussion in the nascent Suicide Squad community concerns the stories of certain celebrity superheroes. I won’t give anything away but there is particular aggro about the game’s handling of Batman, which some DCheads feel is disrespectful to his late voice actor Kevin Conroy.

As for our Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League review - it’s coming! The freelancer in question has been sent a Speed ForceGauntlet, but apparently it got lost in transit. If you spot any unnaturally fast DPD drivers, let us know.
