Following a number of website domain registrations that point towards what Warner Bros. has in store for its upcoming super hero titles, Eurogamer has added a lot more weight to the rumours. The publication says that Batman Arkham series developer Rocksteady's next game is indeed based on Suicide Squad, the deadly gang of DC villains.
One domain name in particular, 'SuicideSquadKillTheJusticeLeague.com' is apparently being considered as the game's final name. Quite the title, and it suggests the project's scope. However, according to Eurogamer, this thing is still a while off, so don't expect to see much of it any time soon.
On top of that, we've got the next Batman game, which has been teased for what feels like an eternity. Eurogamer says that we'll see a bit of 'Gotham Knights' at Warner Bros.' DC Fandome event in August. Both of these games are being developed for PlayStation 5.
Do you like the sounds of this? Watch out for the bat in the comments section below.

Need more info. Roll on August!
Could not be less interested in a Suicide Squad game.
I am assuming Gotham Knights will be the name because you can play as the bat family, but the story will be Court of Owls inspired.
That website name is almost as long as a certain town name in Wales.
Im not a big fan of killing the good guys.
Urghhhh, my least favourite DC property of all time. 90s edginess is just so lame.
After the huge disappointment of the suicide squad movie I'm not really interested in a sq game even if it's made by rocksteady..but who knows maybe the trailer will make me see it different..new batman game I'm always looking forward to
Love the SS, usually, the government pays Amanda Waller to get the bad guys to kill the other bad guys but this time the JL? Quite interesting
Not interested in suicide squad particularly, but will take a new batman. Have to wonder what has happened to rocksteady this gen
They have been nowhere to be seen since near to launch!
In Rocksteady I trust !
What is it going to take to get a god damn new Superman game
@Crimson_Ridley you mean llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
ALSO, this was teased as Task Force X back in Batman: Arkham Origins credit scenes
Unlike the avengers, full co op and I'll be interested
That would be extremely disappointing to me personally if it's true. I have zero interest in the idea. I'll try and keep an open mind though as Rocksteady deserve some trust.
@Danloaded That's the one! 🤣
I like the Arkham games so much, I am going to get the next game from Rocksteady eventually no matter what.
But, I can’t think of a DC property I have less interest in than Suicide Squad. Maybe the game will change that..........
The last Rocksteady game was in 2015, and 5 years later their next game is "still a while off"?
Something must have gone wrong there, they probably were working on something else for a while and had to start all over again. It's a shame that of all DC properties they could be working on it's the suicide squad.
suicide squad will be Games as service like avengers game i am assuming
Justice League yes but Suicide Squad I'm not too excited about
Ohhhh suicide squad, hmmmm. OK, will hold judgement on that one. I hope the new Batman game is better than Knight, just could not get into it.
Suicide squad? If they're from the comics then a big YES but if they're from the movies... Guess I'll have to see gameplay.
We need some news from the Warner Bros corner. Just announce this and that new Harry Potter game.
Hmm 🤔 word up son
Gotham Knights??? Now I'm completely confused on what there making. Both sound like coop games. If that's the case it's a hard pass for me.
Rocksteady has always put out games at a decent pace but that rumor above says their game is still quite a ways out, so, sounds like there has been some management and/or development trouble.
This is a definite YES for me. Rocksteady knows how to make a good game - whether or not you like Suicide Squad, you can agree the game will be in good hands. And no offense Batman, but you're gettin old and a little put played out...
I'm so sick of games trying to force the "multiple playable characters" shtick. I just want one character to become and invest my time into. I don't like the disjointed nature of having to hop between different people. Hopefully the Knights game will let you pick and stick with one. Not as hopeful for Suicide Squads.
That Suicide Squad game. I’m...interested.
I was not to taken with the final Batman Arkham game with its tag of "Be the Bat car"
@H4ilHydra If so im out.
The question is, will the Suicide Squad game base itself off of the 1970s team, or the modern team featuring characters like Enchantress, Deadshot and El Diablo?
I feel like it's going to be the latter but there's also that new movie coming out directed by James Gunn that's based off the older team.
As for the Batman game, the Court of Owls is one of my favorite Batman story arcs so I'm really interested in seeing how Rocksteady adapts it, even if it might not actually be related at all to the Arkham series.
If it's the Lego version of Suicide Squad then I'm very interested!
@nessisonett haha, eat my shorts! 90s edginess is a good way to put it.
I could get behind a suicide squad kill the justice League game if it's done a bit like "the boys". An alternate dimension where the JL are detached and arrogant 1%ers.
I'd like Gotham Knights to be a kind "Battle for the cowl" kind of deal. Play as multiple bat-family characters who each have their own story line that interweaves with each others (re6 style maybe), all trying to prove their worth while Bruce is off forming Batman Inc somewhere.
EDIT: I'd also like the Suicide Squad one to be like MGS Peace Walker. Send out individual, multiple or all of the squad to take on missions of varying content and difficulty. whether that be assassinations, or kidnaps or information retrieval or whatever. It would be a break from the Arkham shackles and could be an interesting take on it.
@Flaming_Kaiser then I suggest you don't play TLOU P2 😉
I'm definitely interested in both titles, though hopefully the Suicide Squad game is NOT based on the movie or upcoming "reboot" movie.
Also echoing everyone's thoughts on the missed chance for a proper Superman game.
@clvr What is this nonsense what liveservice is there in the Last of Us Part II? Look if you have a issue with the game no problem but dont come with nonsense. Its a complete highly polished game with a lesbian lead that is the biggest issue for most of the screaming kids.
Look this nonsense is bull i know people have issues some stuff. We dont like work pressure on the workers but we complain with a delay or if the game isnt 60 hours. We want them too get more pay but dont want too pay extra for a game. I was pissed about the 800 layoffs when Bobby did get his 30 million payout. Want too make a difference go vote on a president who is there for the working force. I do the same in the Netherlands when i get the chance.
No problem with a joke but its getting old. If the game bombs its not only Druckmann loses his job but a lot more of people. I buy my game people get payed and if dont like it its not the end of the world im not going too Metacritic giving it a 0 because i have some personal issues.
RDR 2 isnt a 10 for me but someone else loves it too death and its his view its his review and i wont go mental and accuse people here of be payed off. The game is high quality and i say it more then enough that i dont like it but thats life. Same as GTA5 is nothing special for me and no way in life that GTA4 is the best game around even if Metacritic says it but life goes on.
So my rant is finished and one more thing everyone who spoils the game for someone else who doesnt like the game is a #######
@Flaming_Kaiser chill out dude, I was not even referring to that at all. What does this have to do with live service?
You said you don't like harming the good guys in games, and I made a joke revolving around a playable character in TLOU P2 (wouldn't want to be to spoiler-y, but I'm sure you get who I'm referring to).
It was all in good fun, but if you have to overreact, say that people are homophobes and lump me in with them, I'll avoid next time 👍🏻
After the Suicide Squad movie I can't get even remotely excited for anything relating to that until I know it's completely separate from that version. Gotham Knights sounds like it could be potentially interesting, so long as it doesn't have any annoying tank stealth sections that is! 😉 That one's probably a long way away from release though.
I have read every version of SS since the New 52 and all have been very good the DCU movie was a dumpster fire. So if they take from the comics. 100% in and if it's the movies I'm totally out.
Absolutely hated the button mashing combat in these games. And the incredibly boring outside locations.
@clvr Don't worry, dude. Naughty Dog were relying on all these SJWs to scream "Homophobe" at anyone who doesn't like their hyped up garbage. I just don't think it's very good, but people take it personal when you criticise something that falls in their tastes and so look for an excuse to believe you don't like it because YOU are the bad guy.
Honestly, I'm interested in what they can do with Suicide Squad. Didn't like the movies, either, but doesn't mean the game will be bad. Get over it. Secondly, what about the ghost at the end of Arkham Knight? I want it to be Azrael and have him use Scarecrows fear toxins in some form or the criminals still feel effects from story events. I guess they won't be continuing it, though and just starting anew. They did kill off 2 characters in the Arkham games so I guess it leaves them less options, but tbh, since they found a way to resurrect one of them yet again, I'm really ok with neither of those characters being there.
@Jayofmaya thanks for getting it, my mate.
It's pretty sad how fans quickly devolve into "tribal mode" whenever something they like is called into question. I mean, I love lots of stuff and still I can't help finding flaws everywhere. Liking a thing doesn't mean treating it as if it were perfect.
I haven't played TLOU P2 yet, but I've seen the story from beginning to end and, while the gameplay and world building sure look very high quality at what they do, the storytelling is all over the place in so many ways that it's pretty irredeemable for a game so focused on story from a studio that is often criticized for putting more emphasis on story rather than gameplay.
So yeah, a great game it certainly is, but nobody tell me the story is good or makes sense, cause I know a thing or two about storytelling, structure, and so on.
It's as if Nintendo put out Super Mario Odyssey 2, spun a fantastic narrative, but latched it onto a gameplay loop that's unfun and worse than Odyssey 1.
