Summary
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas finally launched, and with it, DC fans have been able to step into the shoes of some of the most iconic villains around. Now, they can soar through the skies as Deadshot, beat back Brainiac’s foes as Harley Quinn, experience the feeling of an apex predator through King Shark, and make all sorts of quips as Captain Boomerang. While the story has proven a bit controversial, all of the playable characters have been a delight Thankfully, theSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguefun has only just begun.
Just likeMarvel’s Avengersbefore it, Rocksteady has plans to add new characters to the roster viaSuicide Squad’s seasonal post-launch roadmap. As of now, players know that there are at least four seasons worth of content in the pipeline with new characters each season. Once that is done, no one quite knows what the future holds, but if Rocksteady gets the chance, it could delve into the treasure trove of DC villains to keep its game running for years to come.
Rocksteady Has Already Teased What is Coming Through Post-Launch Content
Before release, Rocksteady confirmed that it had plans for four seasons of content, with the first season starting sometime in March.Suicide Squad’s first seasonwill not only bring new activities, boss fights, stories, and weapons, but also a brand-new Suicide Squad member in the form of Joker. Even though Batman’s greatest enemy may have perished inBatman: Arkham City, this version of the character stems from the multiverse and promises to be a wild addition to the team.
Rocksteady has yet to reveal what is coming with the other three seasons outside the fact that they are coming, and they will bring a plethora of content for players to enjoy. Based on various hints from the studio, fans have begun speculating about who will be joiningSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s rosterdown the line, with some popular theories being Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke. It will likely be a while before any of them are officially confirmed, but even if those rumors are true, that still leaves plenty of characters waiting to be tapped.
One of the easiest routes for Rocksteady to go down is if it introduced characters that have already been established as members of the Suicide Squad inpastBatman: Arkhamtitles. DC villains such as Killer Frost, KGBeast, and Catwoman have all appeared as members in various projects. Additionally, Amanda Waller went to great lengths just to recruit Bane, which ultimately failed. However, by the timeSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguetakes place, maybe she has ended up succeeding.
Another potential route for Rocksteady would be replicatingthe DCEU’s Suicide Squad roster. Already,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s team is made up of villains that also played a role in Task Force X’s live-action outings. Now, Rocksteady just has to delve even deeper into that DC universe. It could introduce Bloodsport, Peacemaker, Ratcatcher, or even Polka-Dot Man. Some of these characters have already been teased throughout Metropolis, so the studio would just have to make it official. The extensive list of character options includes, but is not limited to:
No one really knows ifSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill have content past those four seasons. The game has gone through a bit of a controversial launch, so if the sales are not there, then the game will probably follow in the footsteps ofMarvel’s Avengers. However, if it is able to stay afloat past season 4, then Rocksteady has a massive library of characters to pull from that could keep this game going strong for a long time.
