With DC FanDome 2021 fast approaching, WB Interactive is ramping up the promotion of the games it plans to show off. With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady and WB Interactive has taken an old-school approach to the promo: a phone number.
Interested fans can call or text (310) 564-7047 that will get them in contact with Amanda Waller leader of A.R.G.U.S. She answers, believing that the callers are Harley Quinn prank calling her and berates fans for wasting time and focus on the mission to "kill the Justice League." Texting the number will send an automated prompt from "Amanda Waller" asking if fans have A.R.G.U.S clearance. There will be a link attachment for join a Community group. After signing up, there will be another text confirming entry but "Amanda Waller" doesn't promise to keep in contact. She's not a babysitter, after all.
“I know this is you, Harley. I have given you weapons, resources, and full sign-off to execute the Justice League and you’re here spending my time on prank calls? Stop screwing around and take the targets down. Now!”
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is described as a "genre-bending" action-adventure shooter game made by Rocksteady Studios. Rocksteady was the studio behind the beloved Batman: Arkham games, so expectations have been set pretty high as to what could be coming from this game.
The game will be an open-world game with the team consisting of 4 characters, including the player and 3 others, either via online multiplayer or propagated by AI for solo play. The game will be set in Metropolis overrun by some form of corruption that has let loose a horde of monsters upon the city. The playable characters consist of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark. As of now, there is no further information as to what happened to the Justice League that calls for this drastic action for Amanda Waller and A.R.G.U.S to need to form this team.
DC FanDome starts October 16th from 1 PM EST and should feature a new gameplay trailer and more information about how the game looks and plays. There will be more reveals from DC such as a new preview of Gotham Knights, and trailers from DC movies and TV shows in the works.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is set for release in 2022 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
