Summary
- Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will receive its final piece of content on Tuesday.
- The game recently received its long-awaited “offline” mode, along with its final DLC character, Deathstroke.
- Once the final episode releases, it’ll put an end to one of gaming’s biggest stories and failures.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady’s beleaguered live-service looter shooter, will release its final episode on Tuesday. In a post shared on Twitter, the game will undergo maintenance ahead of Episode 8’s release, with the final piece of content expected to release shortly after.
Once released, it’ll not only complete the Year 1 roadmap for the game, but finish the game’s support entirely. Late last year, Rocksteady announced that Season 4 would mark the end of the game’s run, with the long-awaited offline mode, along with the final DLC character (Deathstroke) being added to the game.

Suicide Squad Has Had A Rocky Year
Originally released in February 2024, Suicide Squad was largely panned at launch, with its Steam player count dipping below 1,000 shortly after release. And things largely never improved from then on out.
Its first DLC (an Elseworlds version of the Joker) was not particularly liked. Meanwhile, the plot twist that was revealed in Season 2 had fans rolling their eyes before any remaining players blasted Season 3’s character choice. The game did manage to experience a resurgence in early December following Black Friday sales, with a player count of well over 2,500, and it did make its way to PlayStation Plus as a free monthly game.
All the while, Rocksteady was hit by two separate waves of layoffs, including an initial series in September followed by a recent wave just several days ago. For its part, Warner Bros. admitted the game had “fallen short” of expectations, and reporting affirmed that the company took a $200 million hit.
In other words, it’s been an eventful 11 months for all parties. All of that will seemingly come to an end on Tuesday, thus putting to an end one of gaming’s biggest stories of 2024.
