Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Roadmap Ends Soon What Next

Jun 10, 2024 9:30 AM

Warner Bros. has confirmed that "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" will complete its currently announced roadmap despite its initial commercial failure. The game's troubled development led to questions about future support, and it was noted that Rocksteady might be diverting resources to a director’s cut of "Hogwarts Legacy." The roadmap for "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" includes four seasons, each featuring new playable characters, environments, weapons, and themed gear sets. Season 1 introduced The Joker, and upcoming seasons are expected to include Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke. However, low player numbers raise doubts about whether this added content will rejuvenate interest in the game.

Will the additional content for "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" succeed in increasing player engagement?

Considering that the introduction of The Joker in Season 1 failed to boost the game’s player numbers significantly, it seems unlikely that the upcoming content featuring less prominent DC characters will achieve much more.

"Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" is set within the Arkhamverse, the same universe as Rocksteady's critically acclaimed "Batman: Arkham" series. Despite the strong legacy of the Arkham games, "Suicide Squad" did not capture the same success, possibly due to its live service model and departure from single-player gameplay. The Arkham series, particularly "Batman: Arkham City," remains highly regarded as one of the best superhero games ever made, setting a high bar that "Suicide Squad" was unable to meet despite its shared universe and lore.
