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.

Elden Ring Nightreign is FromSoftware’s lowest rated game in years

Over the past 15 years or so, FromSoftware has gone from strength to strength. Starting with 2009’s Demons Souls, the studio has had a generational run with each new game receiving an increasing number of sales and accolades – culminating with Elden Ring as one of the highest rated games of all time. Though seemingly still a good game, the studio’s upcoming Elden Ring: Nightreign has become the lowest-rated FromSoft title since 2018’s VR exclusive Deracine.
