Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueThe game’s next update will also bring the game’s long-promised offline mode, although Rocksteady and publisher Warner Bros. saying that “all online features will remain available” for the cooperative shooter.
Season 4 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launches on December 10, with Deathstroke, the offline mode and episode 7 of the game’s story. Episode 8, the game’s conclusion, will be released on January 14, 2025 and will feature the final battle against Brainiac, who Suicide squad players have been fighting in various multiversal forms over the past year.
Deathstroke will be the fourth character released after launch Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueafter The Joker, Mrs. Freeze and Lawless. Rocksteady and Warner Bros. however, never announced additional characters beyond these four early leaks from data mining indicated that Rocksteady was considering releasing DC villains Katana and Killer Croc as playable characters.
Offline mode for Kill the Justice League lets players experience the main story campaign and seasonal story mission content without the need for an internet connection. The game so far requires players to be online, an early point of contention for players. In offline mode, players must either create a new profile by starting from the beginning of the game, or make a copy of their existing profile to maintain their progress.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League launched in February to mediocre reviews and a cool commercial reception. Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav called the game “disappointing” and said Rocksteady’s game was partly responsible for a “$200 million impact” on the company’s games division’s revenues. Reception of the game’s DLC hasn’t been much better. Suicide squad has since been given away and heavily discounted.
Rocksteady’s take on the Suicide squad was a lightning rod for controversy, based on its tone, games-as-a-service leanings, and treatment of Arkhamverse heroes like Batman. But after dramatically killing the likes of Superman, The Flash and Green Lantern, Kill the Justice League began bringing back his once dead heroes, taking them from various Elseworlds. Some storylines are still unresolved, but perhaps the fourth and final season will give players the closure they need.
