DC FanDome Highlights Upcoming Games

This past weekend DC FanDome, showed big news in the DC universe and the games section was no slouch. There may not have been the most games released, but some quality games are in the near future: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Gotham Knights, and DC Heroes & Villains.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

In the latest trailer for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League there was no gameplay footage, which is normally strange for a trailer. The scene starts off with the Arkham Asylum and cars driving through. Afterwards, Amanda Waller is recruiting a squad in the next scene in the game’s first combat area. This follows with the Suicide Squad gearing up with Gizmo. Next seen is King Shark putting on his bowler hat that Riddler wore in Arkham city and Harley Quinn shoots Batman’s grapple gun. Gizmo is satisfied and sends them into the thick of the war. In the trailer you see a junker Batmobile with a Bat-signal for a headlight but no sign of who may be driving it. Poison Ivy and Penguin make their return later in the trailer as well. Rocksteady creative director Sefton Hill described the game as a hybrid between the Arkham Games and open-world Metropolis. All of this is coming soon in 2022.
