The anticipated Suicide Squad from Rocksteady Studios has been forced to remove its early access release of the game from online stores 1 hour after launch on January 30th due to multiple people experiencing a game-breaking bug that automatically completes player's save files.
Fans were granted early access by paying for the deluxe edition of the game which for an extra fee let them play 72 hours earlier than standard edition players, they also got cosmetic items Classic Outfits, Justice League Outfits, 3 Black Mask’s, Notorious Weapons, Squad Golds, Weapon Dolls, No Shade Colour Switches, and 1 Battle Pass Token.
With the mixed response to the title reveal back in August 2020, Rocksteady has had to fight an uphill battle to convince fans of that their games straying away from the single player story games they are known for such as the the Arkham series to a live service game won’t be a waste of time or money.
Rocksteady issued a statement on X saying, “We’re aware that a number of players are currently experiencing an issue whereby upon logging into the game for the first time, they have full story completion” to then go on. “To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance on the game servers.
“During this time the game will be unavailable. We expect this to take several hours and will update once we have more information.”
Frustration in the community has been raised as there has been no mention by the developers about refunds on buying the game's deluxe version which costs £99.99 compared to the standard price being £69.99.
The discourse online about the vagueness of the release has left a bad taste in the audience with no word on when they will add an offline campaign mode as it gets close to its release on February 2nd.
