Highlights

Fans of Rocksteady's single-player experiences are concerned about the transition to a co-op, always-online game like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
Rocksteady has announced that an offline mode will be added to the game, allowing players to experience the main campaign without an internet connection.
The reaction to the latest trailer of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been mostly positive, and fans who played the closed alpha tests praised the game, indicating a shift in optimism.

The upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is getting an offline mode as part of a post-launch update. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League finds itself in a weird position. On one hand, many fans are excited to play Rocksteady's first major new release in eight years. On the other hand, there are many who are concerned that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's live service elements will ruin the experience.

The jury is still out on how Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League stacks up to Rocksteady's past games. Rocksteady built a reputation for delivering high-quality single-player experiences, with its Batman: Arkham trilogy proving to be especially popular. To go from those single-player adventures to a 4-player co-op, always-online game is quite the leap, and so fans are understandably nervous about the new game.

As reported by VGC, Rocksteady took its Discord to announce the news, stating, "We’re happy to confirm we are planning to add an offline story mode that will give players the option to experience the main campaign without an internet connection." Rocksteady stopped short of providing a specific date fans can expect this mode to be added to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but it's expected to drop at some point in 2024.
