- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will receive its last piece of new content in January, marking the end of the game’s live service.
- The game will receive two more content updates, with Season 4 Episode 7 dropping on December 10, followed by Episode 8 on January 14.
- All online features and previous content will remain available for players for the foreseeable future.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‘s upcoming Season 4 Episode 8 update will mark the final piece of new content to be added to the live service game. Once this new content arrives next year, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‘s content will come to a close, marking the end of a very tumultuous and controversial chapter for what was supposed to be Warner Bros. and Rocksteady’s next big title.
Envisioned as a big and bold new foray into the world of DC comics, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League dropped players into a large open world, giving them the ability to play as some of the company’s most iconic characters. Developed by Rocksteady, the studio behind the now-legendary series of Batman: Arkham games, Suicide Squad appeared to feature the same satisfying combat encounters and fun worldbuilding found in those games. However, once the game officially released, things quickly changed, with Suicide Squad‘s release pulling in numbers far below what both Rocksteady and Warner Bros. had expected. Fast-forward to 2024, and fans are now nearing the end of the line, with Suicide Squad set to enter its final chapter.

Rocksteady endured layoffs earlier this year, something seen across the entire video game industry. However, Suicide Squad‘s poor sales were directly cited as a reason for the staff cuts. Rocksteady senior management claimed these layoffs would result in a lower-quality product, which can now seemingly be seen and felt with the latest news regarding Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
While Suicide Squad features some of Rocksteady’s brilliance within the DC world, including the game’s satisfying combat system and interesting characters, the overall package felt lesser compared to the studio’s previous works. Since its release in January, Suicide Squad has received numerous updates and content overhauls in an attempt to both further support the game and stir up more interest. In the last few months, Suicide Squad has also been given heavy discounts. While sad, players shouldn’t worry, as developers confirmed all online features would continue to be made available, as will previous seasonal and episodic content. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will also remain available for purchase on digital storefronts.
