Rocksteady has just confirmed that its next big game is based on none other than Suicide Squad. The news comes via Twitter, where the esteemed game developers also shared news on when the big reveal will be.
The official Twitter account for Rocksteady Studios shared the first promotional image from the upcoming game, writing: “Target locked – #DCFanDome – August 22. #suicidesquadgame.”
Check it out below.
The news aligns with previous rumours of the game, so it’s good to see it finally confirmed.
We’ve heard lots of rumours around both the future of the Batman Arkham games, and the potential for more DC titles over the last few months and we finally saw a solid leak earlier this year, courtesy of Eurogamer.
The publication reported that, along with a new Batman Arkham game, there’s also set to be a Suicide Squad title. Eurogamer did some digging following a Restera leak, which saw a number of Suicide Squad-related domain names get snapped up by Warner Bros.
Back in May 2019, we reported on the rumour of a Suicide Squad game which was allegedly going to be very much like Destiny.
Supposed marketing materials for the game popped up on a Reset Era forum that seem to suggest WB Montreal was expecting to reveal the game just a week before E3 2019.
The ‘leaked’ document also had a striking resemblance to an early Mortal Kombat 11 leak, which came out in the same way and turned out to be 100% correct.
This now-proven leak also suggests that the rumour of a new Arkham game may also be correct. According to Eurogamer, “Gotham Knights Game” is set to be the next Batman Arkham title, which is being worked on over at Batman Arkham Origins studio, Warner Bros. Montreal. It’s believed both games will be revealed during Warner Bros.’ upcoming DC Fandome event in August.
Keep your fingers crossed!
