Summary
Pre-ordering has been around since the very early days of gaming. Back in the day, the whole point ofpre-ordering a gamewas to ensure that fans would receive a copy on launch day, but as the gaming industry has continued to grow with every passing year, pre-ordering a game has taken on a bit of a different purpose. Nowadays, most fans will only drop the cash on a pre-order if it comes with some kind of bonus, and that’s a tactic publishers have been using for well over a decade now, enticing fans to purchase their games months in advance by offering some kind of exclusive merchandise, or in the case of games likeSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League,some digital in-game goodies.
After a lengthy delay,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueis back and has a confirmed release date of June 29, 2025, which is just a little over two months away now. While many fans will understandably still be feeling pretty unsure about the game’s content and its as-yet unseen live-service implementation and will therefore probably hold off from buying the game until reviews drop, some eager DC fans might have already seen enough to justify the $70 price tag, and for them, there are some intriguing pre-order bonuses on offer.
Pre-ordering the Standard Edition ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill give players immediate access to a selection of Classic Outfits for each playable member of Task Force X. Each of these costumes, as the name would imply, is based on the character’s respective original comic book appearance.
Deadshot has his classic metallic look, while Captain Boomerang is in his bright blue outfit and matchingThunderbirds-like cap, and King Shark has his own shiny leotard on. Originating not in the comics but instead inBatman: The Animated Series, Harley Quinn’s classic outfit here comes directly from the 90s show, giving her her now-iconic red, black, and white harlequin outfit.
Thosepre-orderingSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueon PlayStation 5will also gain access to a whole other set of unique outfits. Titled the Rogue Outfits, this set of costumes isn’t quite as distinct as the Classic range, instead putting small spins on the characters' starting usual in-game designs. Harley gets a different hairstyle and jacket, King Shark gets a vest and necklace, Deadshot gets some dark metallic gray armor, and Boomerang gets turned into an Outback cowboy.
For an extra $30, die-hard DC fans can upgrade theirSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguepre-order to the Deluxe Edition, which grants them a bevy of bonus content, including some exclusive pre-order bonuses. The big, and only, exclusive with the Deluxe Edition pre-order is72-hour early accessto the game, meaning that fans who pre-order this more expensive version of the game can jump in on June 03, 2025, depending on their region.
The Deluxe Edition ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguealso comes with a slew of in-game bonuses, including a new set of outfits for Task Force X inspired by the Justice League themselves, turning Harley into Wonder Woman, King Shark into Superman, Captain Boomerang into The Flash, and Deadshot into some kind of Red Hood/Batman mash-up. This edition also comes with some special in-game Black Mask weapons and a Battle Pass Token that’s apparently useable in any of the game’s first four Seasons, which has some interesting implications forRocksteady’s live-service plans.
