Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is about to begin Season 4 and the remaining players are relieved to see that the newest character to join the multiverse fight is DeathStroke and that he actually looks cool. Whether it arrives alone or alongside the live service game’s promised offline mode remains to be seen.

By the way, the news arrived on Friday a short social media post We’re announcing the Season 4 launch date on December 10th, along with art for Deathstroke, who will be the fourth character to be added post-launch Suicide Squadhas been on the roster since its release in January. However, unlike some of these previous additions, fans are actually excited for the sword-wielding assassin’s reveal, at least for now.

“That’s a great DeathStroke design!” wrote a player in the game’s subreddit. “The heavy battle damage to the suit and armor plates adds so much depth to the deadly super soldier face.” Another joked“Of all the characters they could have added, Condiment King, Slipknot, who can climb anything, Kite Woman, Harley Quinn’s former college roommate, Dr. Penelope Young’s rotting corpse, why did they choose a popular character like DeathStroke?”

Suicide SquadThe endgame has evolved since the conclusion of the main campaign left players frustrated and disappointed. A seasonal narrative structure that sets up events that would seemingly lead to the Justice League coming back into play at some point gave us the Joker, Mrs. Freeze (a gender-swapped icy villain), and Deadshot’s daughter Lawless. Despite some big updates, new loot, and the growing roster’s unique traversal and combat abilities, the lack of great missions or interesting boss fights has meant that the post-launch roadmap is bumpy.

Suicide Squad Was recently available on Steam for just $5but the always-online third-person shooter still seems destined for the eventual live-service graveyard. Rocksteady Studios is committed to providing the game with promised content in its first year, but it’s unclear whether it has a future beyond that as the development team faces cuts and cuts I’m working on prototyping new single player projects.

One thing that would stay Suicide Squad An offline mode is safe for its existing fan base. Rocksteady It’s already been mentioned that the goal is to add this in an update sometime in 2024, but that was before the rocking release. A Warner Bros. spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment Kotaku I recently asked whether an offline mode was planned for this year. The players hope that this will be the case despite the radio silence I’ve been working on the feature for months, the fact that it’s still promised Suicide Squad‘s website means it’s coming at some point.

Update 12/9/2024 3:33 p.m. ET: Rocksteady confirmed in his review of Season 4 that DeathStroke will actually release alongside the game’s long-awaited offline mode. Offline mode requires players to download a new update on December 10th and only works with a new in-game profile, which can be created by copying their existing progress. There is one more detailed explanation Information on how the mode works can be found on the WB website. Rocksteady also confirmed that Episode 8 of Season 4, releasing on January 14th, will be the game’s final content update.
