Suicide Squad is getting some representation in the Battle Royale genre. Players can soon wear Joker and Harley Quinn skins in their PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds games.
No, seriously, this is a new thing happening at the end of 2018. You’ve not accidentally clicked an article from 2016. You’ve not been magically whisked away to when Obama was president, American Idol was still airing new shows, and the Star Wars sequels only just began.
According to a new trailer by developer PUBG Corp., the antagonistic pair will be coming to the game in the form of playable skins. The trailer shows off some gameplay by the characters, and nothing more. No details regarding when it’ll be made available or whether it’ll cost anything. This will presumably be made clear sooner to its release.
I get that the heart of all promotional content is to encourage greater exposure to a brand, but the film came out two years ago. The supposed sequel isn’t scheduled until at least 2020. Why are they doing this now?
