Kill the Justice League Adding Deathstroke

As its first year concludes, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is adding Deathstroke in Season 4. While it has struggled to gain traction since its launch, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League could bring back some players with this fan-favorite character.

Since its release, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has received mixed reactions from the community. While it has a small but dedicated fan base, the critics point to the live service aspect of the game as a key problem. Contrary to Rocksteady Studio’s previous games, all the characters in Suicide Squad use guns to defeat their enemies. These guns are upgraded regularly by completing challenges, with each season introducing new weapons. Alongside some other additions, Slade “Deathstroke” Wilson is set to join the character roster in Season 4.

Near Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s one year anniversary, now may be the best time for players to check out the game for the first time

The Suicide Squad Twitter account recently confirmed that Deathstroke is the final Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League DLC character for the game’s first year. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League introduces Deathstroke in Season 4, which is set to begin on December 10, and will conclude on March 10, 2025. Beyond the introduction of Deathstroke, Season 4 will likely include new Episodes, Elseworlds content, and Notorious and Legendary Items. Like previous seasons, Season 4 will also offer new cosmetics in the in-game Shop and Battle Pass. As the official website still highlights Season 3, it’s currently unclear specifically what players can expect from the upcoming content drop.

Deathstroke Joins the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Roster in Season 4

Way back when the game was first released, Deathstroke was one of the rumored characters to be coming to the game. This mostly stemmed from various buildings in its open world having graffiti depicting the antihero. A community member also leaked Deathstroke’s appearance in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League when they also accurately predicted that he would arrive in Season 4. Other characters like The Joker, Mrs. Freeze, and Lawless have joined the roster in their own respective seasons. These characters could be unlocked by completing story missions and challenges, but players can also purchase them in the shop. This will likely remain the case with Deathstroke when he’s added in Season 4.

Given that Deathstroke uses an arsenal of weapons in the comics, the guns that feel out of place for characters like Harley Quinn may fit the setting better in Slade’s hands. As Season 4 completes the first year of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League post-launch content, it’s unclear what Rocksteady has planned next for the game.
