Rocksteady pulls Suicide Squad offline to fix game breaking bug

Rocksteady's latest game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is finally coming out, over eight years on from the release of their last game, Batman: Arkham Knight. While there is some scepticism around this release due to its co-op focused, live service nature, Rocksteady still has plenty of fans looking to jump in. Unfortunately, as soon as the servers went live earlier today, players began encountering a game-breaking bug. 

Roughly one hour from the start of pre-order early access for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady has had to pull the servers offline. Players were finding that upon logging in for the first time, the game would automatically skip the story and mark it as completed, throwing players right into the endgame.

It is a pretty poor start for a game that many were already sceptical of due to its online nature. Still, the bug should be swiftly fixed with online access to be restored. We're still awaiting an update from Rocksteady but fixing this ahead of midnight is going to be a big priority.

The game officially goes live for all pre-order customers on the 30th of January. On certain platforms, the game is already live as long as you know how to use a VPN.

KitGuru Says: Are you planning on trying out Suicide Squad this week? Hopefully this issue can be swiftly resolved and players don't uncover more technical mess once the game opens up to more people.
