Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is receiving a significant update with the launch of Season 1 on March 28, featuring a variety of new content, including the arrival of Joker as a playable character. This update, provided for free, promises to rejuvenate the game, addressing player feedback and enhancing the overall experience.
Season 1, titled “Fear and Duality,” introduces an alternate Joker. The Elseworlds version brings a fresh take on the character. Rocksteady Studios designed the Joker with unique abilities and a distinctive playstyle. The Joker’s skills include three distinct playstyles: Jester, which focuses on melee combat; Firestarter, which utilizes fire-based attacks; and Ringmaster, emphasizing aerial combat and traversal. Players can explore these abilities further through a new talent tree introduced alongside the character.
This update also brings an “ever-changing” Elseworld version of Metropolis, twisted by the Joker’s influence. The city’s reimagined landscape offers players new environments to explore, complete with additional Incursions, Strongholds, missions, activities, and boss fights against Brainiac variants. Season 1 is divided into two episodes, each introducing new content and challenges for players to tackle.
Episode 1 will also incorporate Scarecrow-inspired gear and weapons themed around other DC Super-Villains like Mad Hatter, Merlyn, and Dr. Psycho. Episode 2 will follow as a mid-season update, featuring Green Lantern infused items, Two-Face Infamy gear sets, and weaponry based on Reverse-Flash and Black Manta.
Aside from new cosmetics, the free update to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League also addresses quality-of-life improvements, including over 170 fixes aimed at enhancing the game’s stability and performance.
Despite its rocky start, Rocksteady remains steadfast in its goal of regaining player interest with Season 1. The addition of the Joker and the promise of an evolving Metropolis provide a fresh perspective on the controversial game, potentially drawing back players that it disappointed at launch. The constant flow of new content could prove to be a turning point for the game, offering players reasons to return and explore what new seasons has to offer.
With Season 1’s launch, players can dive back into the action, experiencing the new content and changes firsthand later this month.
