Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will full its at present introduced roadmap, writer Warner Bros. has confirmed to IGN.
After Rocksteady’s reside service shooter flopped to the tune of $200 million, some gamers known as into query Warner Bros.’ assist for the sport and the prospect of further content material past the already launched Season 1.
Gamers requested even more durable questions after a report from Bloomberg into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s troubled improvement, with reporter Jason Schreier writing on X/Twitter Rocksteady was at present giving the sport “some barebones assist, positively not as a lot as they’d initially deliberate.” Based on Schreier, Rocksteady helps out with a director’s minimize of Warner Bros.’ smash hit Hogwarts Legacy whereas administration pitches a return to single-player.
But Warner Bros. advised IGN that Rocksteady will see out Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s first 12 months of assist, whereas declining to remark on what occurs afterwards. “We’re not but discussing something that isn’t introduced,” a spokesperson added.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League was panned by critics upon launch and has extraordinarily low participant numbers on Steam. A few of the frustration stems from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League not being one other Batman sport from Rocksteady, regardless of being set inside the Arkhamverse. The developer’s single-player Arkham collection is much-loved by followers, with 2011’s Batman: Arkham Metropolis particularly held up as certainly one of the best, if not the best, superhero video video games of all time. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, on the different hand, is a reside service third-person shooter through which Batman is a villain. Quickly after the sport’s February 2024 launch, writer Warner Bros. admitted the failure of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League contributed to a $200 million hit to income.
So, what can gamers anticipate? Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s present roadmap contains 4 seasons’ price of content material. Seasons two, three, and 4 are every set so as to add a brand new playable character, three new playable environments, new weapons, themed gear units, actions, and mid-season updates.
Rocksteady just lately teased the introduction of Mrs. Freeze as a playable character for Season 2 after Season 1 added the Joker. Datamining has prompt playable characters on their manner embrace Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke. Based mostly on Warner Bros.’ remark, gamers now know they may see this content material.
Will this be sufficient to spark renewed curiosity in the sport? After Season 1 and the Joker’s arrival failed to maneuver the needle on participant concurrent numbers on Steam (Microsoft and Sony don’t make participant numbers on Xbox and PlayStation public), it appears unlikely the following three lesser-known DC characters will accomplish that.
Certainly, ideas have already turned to Rocksteady’s subsequent sport, which many followers of the studio hope will play extra like the Arkham video games.
