A welcome change for many. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that to play Suicide Squad, you’d need to have an always-on internet connection , even if you just wanted to play the game in single-player. It’s an annoying growing trend in games, somewhat understandable for games that are predominantly online, less-so for games like this one. However, following the latest Suicide Squad trailer at this week’s The Game Awards, a Rocksteady representative shared in the official Suicide Squad Discord (no, I didn’t know it existed either) that there will in fact be an offline mode after all (thanks, PC Gamer )....

The last Exorcist movie was so bad that Blumhouse has enlisted horror maestro Mike Flanagan to change course Why didn’t they just do this from the get-go? Image credit:Warner Bros.
