While talking with website Kotaku about the Superman franchise in video games, DC Entertainment’s Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns mentioned that a Suicide Squad video game is in development. While there wasn’t a release date or studio named in the comments it is at least exciting to know that one of DC Comics “villain” teams is going to get a video game.
Johns is most excited about another game in development form the media company. “We’re working on Suicide Squad; it’s in development right now,” he divulges. The team book where supervillains take on ultra-dangerous government espionage missions that they’re not expected to come back from is on the DC Entertainment slate as both a movie and a video game. “I’m really super excited about it. Because of the concept, you have a game where any of the lead characters can conceivably die and it’s not a stunt. Some really cool story could come out of that.”
Who are the Suicide Squad?
After the timestream was changed, Amanda Waller set out to create a new Task Force X. She had her people kidnap 37 criminals on death row from Belle Reve prison, and then put them through severe training. They were also implanted with micro-bombs in order to insure their obedience. On what they thought was their first mission, the seven surviving members of the Suicide Squad were captured and tortured for information regarding their team and their employer. Of the seven, only Savant broke. After determining that the remaining six wouldn’t talk, Amanda Waller revealed that the torture was all just another test, and that those six remaining would officially form the Suicide Squad.
The six surviving members of the Suicide Squad:
- Deadshot
- Harley Quinn
- El Diablo
- King Shark
- Voltaic
