Summary
Rocksteady is easing up on its NDA restrictions forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, meaning that players who tried the game’s closed alpha test can now share more of their experiences ahead of launch. The next installment in DC’s Arkhamverse gaming franchise is now only a few weeks from release, with Rocksteady ramping up itspromotion ofSuicide Squadduring the wait for February 2. The game’s premise will see players take control of a quartet of Task Force X members on a dark mission to eliminate the Justice League after they are taken over by the evil Brainiac.
From late November to early December, Rocksteady allowed a handful of players to sample some ofSuicide Squadin a closed alpha test, giving them a taste of its gun-based, open-world gameplay and letting the developer see ifSuicide Squad’s online infrastructure runs smoothly ahead of its February launch. While Rocksteady required all participants to sign a non-disclosure agreement before the test to avoid sharing potential spoilers, those who took part have had positive things to say aboutSuicide Squadin the face of its many pre-launch controversies.
Now these players will be able to discuss more about their time inSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s closed alpha test, as Rocksteady is no longer enforcing some portions of the aforementioned non-disclosure agreement. Rocksteady made this announcement in a post to theofficialSuicide Squadgame Twitter account, where it cited an increase in players asking about the test and a wealth of information already being made public as reasons for this decision. Rocksteady still advises any participants against sharing any screenshots or videos fromSuicide Squad,as these still fall under the NDA’s enforced restrictions.
Sure enough, fans have gotten to see more ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguein action thanks to a series of gameplay and story trailers released in the build-up to the game’s February release. In a more unofficial capacity, there have been numerous leaks and rumors aboutSuicide Squad’s post-launch DLC, namely surrounding the additional playable characters and settings that could appear. Not all of these leaks have been warmly received, though, as audio tracks seemingly pulled from the closed alpha test were posted online in late December, potentially spoiling major story developments and igniting a new wave of backlash.
Possible spoiler material like this falls under the parts ofSuicide Squad’s NDA that Rocksteady is still enforcing, but the developer will be more relaxed about online discussions regarding the game’s alpha test going forward. People who partook in this test are already starting to share their thoughts aboutSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s gameplayand character interactions, and it will be interesting to see what everyone has to say about Rocksteady’s next superhero blockbuster before it releases next month.
