Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is one of three additional games being offered to Amazon Prime members at no additional cost on Tuesday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 17.
Rocksteady’s controversial DC-themed live-action shooter joins Chivalry 2 and Rise of the Tomb Raider as Epic Games Store games available to download for a constrained time only: for 48 hours only starting July 16 at 12:00 PM PT / 3:00 AM ET. It’s worth noting that Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, the version offered here, includes the base game and Season Pass content.
However, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is at the forefront of the game’s development as it is available for free on Prime Gaming half a year after its release and right after the delay (until the end of July) of Season 2, in which Ms. Freeze becomes a playable character.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was of course crushed by critics upon its release and has an extremely low player count on Steam. Part of the frustration stems from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League NO being another Batman game from Rocksteady, despite being set in the Arkhamverse. The developer’s single-player Arkham series of games is very beloved by fans, with its 2011 release Batman Arkham City in particular, considered to be one of the best, if not the best this best superhero video games of all time. On the other hand, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a third-person shooter where Batman is the villain. Shortly after the game’s release in February 2024, publisher Warner Bros. admitted, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s failure led to a $200 million drop in revenue.
Last month, Warner Bros. told IGN that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League would enjoy a first year of support, but declined to comment on what would happen after that.
Prime Gaming Lead-up titles for Prime Day include Deceive Inc., Tearstone: Thieves of the Heart, The Invisible Hand, Forager, Card Shark, Heaven Dust 2, Soulstice, Wall World, Hitman Absolution, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, and Call of Juarez, all available to claim now, as well as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 – The Sith Lords, Alex Kidd in Miracle World DX, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, and Samurai Bringer, all available to claim starting today, July 11.
