UPDATED: The early-release version of Warner Bros. Games‘ “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” had a weird glitch that let players “have full story completion” after logging on for the first time — prompting the game’s developer to pull the title offline as it sought to fix the issue.

“Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League” is billed as a “genre-defying third-person action-shooter,” developed by Rocksteady Studios, creators of the best-selling “Batman: Arkham” series.

In a post on X Monday morning, Rocksteady wrote, “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 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. We apologise for the inconvenience.”
