Kill The Justice League’ Will End With Deathstroke Season

Say what you’ll with Concord comparisons, however Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League lasted 25 time as lengthy, and even on the “finish” right here, it’s not being completely shuttered.

Rocksteady has introduced, as anticipated, that Suicide Squad assist will finish after the discharge of the upcoming fourth season, which introduces the eighth and remaining member of the expanded squad, the murderer Deathstroke.

This was addressed in a brand new weblog put up from Rocksteady, which said it slightly matter-of-factly with none form of “goodbye” message. The final paragraph within the weblog put up is concerning the season 4 battle go. This displays the truth that all through your complete length of this sport’s existence, it appeared completely oblivious to any and all narratives round it, merely performing like they didn’t exist. In the tip, maybe they’re simply doing that till it breathes its final. Here’s what they stated:

“With Deathstroke becoming a member of the roster, the Suicide Squad’s campaign towards Brainiac is drawing to an finish. Season 4 will end up with Episode 8, which is scheduled to launch in January 2025, and that may function the final seasonal Episode for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. While Season 4 Episode 8 will mark the ultimate battle towards Brainiac, all on-line options will proceed to be out there, so that you’ll nonetheless be capable to get pleasure from co-op with buddies, in addition to all earlier seasonal/episodic content material. You’ll even have the choice to play the sport through the brand new Offline mode, which permits entry to the primary story marketing campaign and all post-launch seasonal gameplay content material with out an web connection.”

So, the sport is ending, servers aren’t being shut down and now you can play offline. I imply, that’s good. Nothing worse than completely nuking one thing individuals paid for, and I’m positive WB just isn’t desperate to should do one thing like difficulty refunds for now not playable content material, like Concord did, as the sport has already reportedly misplaced $200 million.

I do have questions on Season 4 right here, as that is supposedly when the not-really-dead Justice League might resurface Batman, resulting in questions on whether or not Kevin Conroy has any extra unheard strains, or if this storyline will be capable to truly attempt to wrap up this complete sport’s plot with its myriad of Brainiacs left to kill. Reportedly, Rocksteady could also be engaged on a brand new Arkham sport, however whether or not or not it will likely be canon alongside Suicide Squad right here is unclear, or if all of this may merely be relegated to an “Elseworld” story, which might be a straightforward option to write it off.

I gave Suicide Squad extra of an opportunity than most as one of many solely looter shooter journalists available in the market. But even I needed to throw within the towel round season 2 as there was little level devoting a lot time to a sport that was now peaking at a couple of hundred gamers at a time. No one cared concerning the sport, so nobody cared about protection. As a lot as Deathstroke has appeared like the best addition to the sport since launch, I in all probability received’t be again for him both.

RIP Suicide Squad. You existed.
