Rocksteady is phasing out novel content for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League after Season 4, with the developer announcing plans to end support for the problematic online game in January 2025.
Rocksteady revealed this news in the official blog detailing the final season of Suicide Squadwhich will include the release of an offline mode and a novel playable character in Deathstroke. While Rocksteady has no plans to release any novel content, the Suicide Squad story will still be playable offline, and will also be playable cooperatively with friends. Previous seasonal content will also continue to be available.
Elsewhere, Rocksteady said that Suicide Squad will still be available for purchase and its in-game store will continue to operate beyond Season 4, along with the in-game LutherCoin currency. Rocksteady has not indicated how long it plans to keep Suicide Squad online after it finishes releasing novel content.
A complex release for Suicide Squad
The fourth season of Suicide Squad will mark the end of a tense launch for Rocksteady. When it was released in February, it struggled to mixed reviews and never really regained its momentum. We wrote at the time: “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is an utterly frustrating game. There’s a lot to like here, and the combat is fast-paced enough to carry you through a really good DC comic book story artfully dressed up in high production. values, but everything else just collapses around them.”
Suicide Squad struggled with sales, resulting in a double-digit decline in Warner Bros. game revenues. It joins several other online games that have struggled in 2024, including Concord and XDefiant.
The final season of Suicide Squad will begin on December 10 with the airing of episode 7 and will end with the airing of episode 8 next month. For more information, check out our full explanation of Suicide Squad: Kill the End of Justice League.
