Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, the third-person live-service shooter from Batman: Arkham designer Rocksteady Studios, debuted last month to mixed reviews from both doubters and followers alike. However, Rocksteady is seeking to pump something brand-new right into the game with the launch of Joker as a usable personality.
Teased back in January as an Elseworlds version of the popular villain, this Joker, significantly not the very same articulated by Mark Hamill in the Arkham games, goes survive on March 28. Rocksteady revealed this launch day the very same day its moms and dad firm, Warner Bros., revealed it is increasing down on live-service and free-to-play games.
Warner Bros. Chief executive officer of international streaming and games JB Perrette discussed at a Morgan Stanley meeting, “We think the opportunity for us, which again, this is a multi-year [opportunity], because games is certainly a bit of a long cycle business too, but the opportunity is to take those four franchises [DC, Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, and Game of Thrones] and be able to develop a much more holistic approach, particularly around expanding into the mobile and multiplatform free-to-play space, which could give us a much better and consistent set of revenue, and you’ll see us launching this year some mobile free-to-play games, which we hope will start building that,” as reported by VideoGamesChronicle.
Perrette proceeded, “And then secondarily live services, so rather than just launching a kind of one-and-done console game, how do we develop a game around, for example, Hogwarts Legacy or Harry Potter, that is a live service where people can come today and live and work and build and play in that world on an ongoing basis. And so, we think we’ve got the franchises, we’ve got some of the greatest studio capabilities, and we have a roadmap and a strategic investment plan to try and build out that business, and we think there’s meaningful growth over the course of the next couple of years.”
Perhaps confusingly, this effort to increase down on free-to-play and live-service games gets here after Hogwarts Legacy – a standard single-player game with a costs cost and absolutely no live-service components – was the best-selling game of last year, defeating The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and various other hefty players. This effort additionally gets here after Warner Bros. itself claimed Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League – a live-service game like the kind the firm wishes to increase down on – fell short of expectations.
