In 2024, DC attempted to break into the live-service genre with “Suicide Squad: Take Down the Justice League,” developed by Rocksteady Studios – known for Batman: Arkham series. However, this game, released after nine years of silence from the studio, fell flat. Despite the game featuring Rocksteady’s renowned storytelling, the overall experience was peculiar. It aimed to blend elements of a looter shooter with an ongoing narrative delivered through seasonal content, which proved to be a strange combination. Unfortunately, “Suicide Squad: Take Down the Justice League” received insufficient support, and many hoped its underperformance would serve as a cautionary tale about forcing live-service aspects into a game without proper planning.
