Although the wait since the announcement only surpasses three years for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, fans awaiting the next proper release from Rocksteady Studios is inching just short of nine years for beloved fans. Previously, it was confirmed that the new game is set to launch later in February. The firm reaffirms this launch date with pre-orders officially going live more recently.

But, the game is running into trouble. As per reports online, the game is to feature a battle pass. And while it is an online co-op experience, many fans of the Arkham universe are hoping to play this without many obstacles of this live-service approach. That was until it was confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League requires being connected online – even including playing with bots by yourself.

However, that appears to be for a limited time upon release next year. With two months left until release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady Studios via Discord confirms that there will be an offline mode coming to the game next year. Likely is part of the post-launch roadmap; the team utilized the extra time to obtain an expected timeframe for this feature too during its extended delay.

Thanks to @ArkhamVideos on X, the post reads: “In addition to our latest trailer, we also have some news to share. 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. We’re aiming to add this update in 2024 and will provide more details when available.”

One major concern for this new live-service approach – always being online is it bleeding into other titles. After comments from Warner Bros. Discover CEO David Zaslav comments on pursuing more, a job listing pointed towards the new Wonder Woman game being in the same boat. But, it was soon confirmed not to be the case, Warner Bros. Games stated. You can read the full report by heading here.
