Well, folks, it looks like we’ve reached the end of the road for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Rocksteady has announced that support for this title will officially wrap up after Season 4. While it’s a bittersweet moment, there’s still some exciting content on the horizon as we say goodbye.
The final season will introduce Deathstroke. Alongside him comes a quirky medieval-themed Elseworld setting and a much-anticipated offline mode. Now, isn’t that something? Imagine battling through those intense missions without needing an internet connection. It’s like baking your favorite cake without worrying if your oven works properly!
This offline mode will launch on December 10, along with Episode 7 of Season 4. According to Rocksteady, players can start fresh or carry over their existing progress by creating a copy of their online profile. It reminds me of when I saved my favorite recipes in different formats just in case one got lost.
Episode 8 won’t come until January 2025, the grand finale for this year-long update journey from Rocksteady and Warner Bros. Games. Despite these changes, all online features will remain intact for now (including co-op play), but whether critical support updates will follow remains uncertain.
The conclusion of updates marks a controversial chapter for both Rocksteady and Warner Bros., especially considering how things developed post-launch. The game faced delays and had to be pulled from early access, which is never a good sign in gaming. To add salt to the wound, reports suggested it fell short of expectations, costing Warner Bros. around $200 million, a staggering figure that makes you wonder what went wrong behind closed doors.
It’s heartbreaking when you think about how much love goes into developing these games, only for them not to resonate as intended with players. And then there were layoffs at Rocksteady shortly after launch; no developer wants to see their team diminished during such tough times.
