Rocksteady confirms that Season 4 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be the game’s last gasp of air before content ends

Well, the time has come. Rocksteady confirmed what some have assumed: Season 4 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be the end of the line. As the team steers toward moving on from the game, it has included an Offline Mode and a new playable character.

Deathstroke is joining the game as its last playable character. He joins the crew just as they roll up to Brainiac for one last party. This all culminates in Season 4: Episode 8 in January, when the story concludes.

“With Deathstroke joining the roster, the Suicide Squad’s crusade against Brainiac is drawing to an end,” Rocksteady wrote in the announcement post. “Season 4 will finish up with Episode 8, which is scheduled to be released in January 2025, and that will serve as the last seasonal Episode for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. While Season 4 Episode 8 will mark the final battle against Brainiac, all online features will continue to be available, so you’ll still be able to enjoy co-op with friends, as well as all previous seasonal/episodic content.”

Suicide Squad Season 4 adds Deathstroke and Offline Mode

It does feel somewhat inevitable to see Suicide Squad finally getting ready for the big sleep. The game cratered after launch, falling from its peak of over 13,000 players to under 1,000 in less than a month. Publisher Warner Bros. has expressed disappointment with the game, and news of reported layoffs at Rocksteady later followed. The new character and Offline Mode have barely made much of a blip at SteamDB. It’s a shame, but it wasn’t hard to see the end approaching. Such is the way of the live service industry.

Offline Mode went live with Season 4 Episode 7 on December 10 for all players, allowing game owners to experience the game without being tethered to the internet. The mode lets you play all the game’s content, ranging from the main story campaign to the additional story missions introduced by the seasons. You can access it with a new character or copy an online profile. Rocksteady has released an FAQ about how it all works.

Season 4, Episode 7 is just starting and is adding more weapons and locations. It includes a medieval Elseworld region, reimagining Smallville as, erm, ye olde Smallville. Charming. You can take the fight to Brainiac using new weapons from Gorilla Grodd’s Infamy Set. If you ever wanted to use a hairy sniper rifle with a gorilla face, boy, do I have some news for you.
