Rocksteady Studios has announced that its Suicide Squad game will be getting an offline mode. However, offline playability wonāt be an option at launch, so players will have to wait for a post-launch update for the feature to go live.
Suicide Squad game was rumored to have been delayed because of offline mode
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League didnāt exactly have a stellar showing thus far, with many noting that its live service elements look pretty offputting. Back in April this year, journalist Jason Schreier revealed that the game had been delayed, leading to speculations that Rocksteady was considering removing the online requirement. Schreier disputed these claims, but Windows Centralās Jez Corden doubled down on them, stating that he had on good authority that Suicide Squad was delayed to āremove/rework the always online component.ā
It looks like both Corden and Schreier were partially correct. While itās true that Rocksteady is removing the online requirement eventually, itās unlikely that Suicide Squadās delay stemmed from that since the offline mode wonāt make it to launch on February 2, 2024.
āWeāre 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,ā Rocksteady wrote on its official Discord. āWeāre aiming to add this update in 2024 and will provide more details when available.ā
