Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s early access period taken offline due to bug

Rocksteady’s upcoming live-service game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, has already been taken offline just hours after launching its early access period. The game, which has been riddled with controversy and trepidation among gamers, had an early access period available to those who purchased the Deluxe Edition.

9 hours after that statement was posted and at the time of writing this article, there’s been no update suggesting the game is fixed and back online.

It’s not the only drama impacting Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s launch. With multiple delays, fear over the live-service gameplay model, middling reception during gameplay reveals and previews, and recent drama surrounding the issuing of review codes—it’s fair to say the game hasn’t had a smooth road to launch. Only time will tell if things get worse from here.
