Although the Insomniac Games hack and the data gleaned from it overwhelmed online game information for all the week, it was the second “leak” to hit this week. Shortly earlier than, large plot spoilers for Rocksteady’s upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League have been posted on-line and rapidly circulated. However for so far as they’ve unfold in current days, it could be that a few of them straight up don’t even exist within the recreation correct.
Per Forbes, the alleged leaker who began the entire shebang got here ahead to say a number of the occasions they described could have been “mischaracterized” or wholly fabricated. What they gave was a “bastardized retelling” of the sport’s occasions from cutscenes they present in Suicide Squad’s information following its current closed alpha check, and people cutscenes have been “incomplete or out of context.” Of their Reddit publish (you may learn here, however has some spoilers), they cited examples whereas including these occasions have been both vaguely implied, unconfirmed, or simply don’t occur. Additional, they admitted these leaks are lacking occasions from the post-game story, together with “one thing main” that they declare “fully recontextualizes all the story of the sport.”
“I’m sorry for fully mischaracterizing the sport’s story,” they wrote. “It wasn’t my intention…in case you learn the leak, please disregard all the pieces about it. Whereas a few of it’s true, sufficient is fallacious that it’s simply general misinformation.”
Sarcastically, the alleged leaker’s publish got here a day after Rocksteady launched a rundown video on Suicide Squad, which confirmed no less than one of the spoilers was legit. Even when the opposite large ones going round get debunked or that twist is as large a game-changer is implied, the harm is finished. Most individuals who’ve heard of the leak at the moment are going to go in anticipating the more severe, unaware that the one who drew their ire within the first place mainly disavowed what they’d carried out.
For the previous yr, Suicide Squad has been preventing an uphill battle by way of its public picture. Gamers have been already not enthused in regards to the recreation as a co-op live service title that requires a web-based web connection at launch. It’s unknown what totally pushed issues over into energetic distaste for the sport—possibly it’s the builders repeatedly confirming that that is set in the identical universe as their Arkham trilogy, is also that it’s certainly one of two multiplayer video games that comprise the ultimate efficiency of the late Kevin Conroy. Both method, the sport’s detractors are swinging away at it with out a correct motive, whereas Rocksteady’s catching flak for issues which might be missing key context or may not even occur to start with. No one’s actually received right here.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will launch February 2, 2024 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Sequence X|S, and PC.
