Rocksteady Confirms It’s Pulling the Plug on New Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Content After Season 4

Rocksteady is pulling the plug on new content for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League after Season 4, with the developer announcing its plans to end support for the troubled online game in January 2025.

Rocksteady revealed the news in an official blog detailing Suicide Squad’s final season, which will include the release of an offline mode and a new playable character in Deathstroke. While Rocksteady doesn’t plan to release any new content, Suicide Squad’s story will remain playable via offline mode and it will be possible to play co-op with friends. Previous seasonal content will also continue to be available.

Elsewhere, Rocksteady said Suicide Squad will remain available for purchase and that its in-game store will continue to function after Season 4 along with its in-game LutherCoin currency. Rocksteady didn’t indicate how long it plans to keep Suicide Squad online after it finishes releasing new content.

A difficult release for Suicide Squad

Suicide Squad Season 4 will mark the end of what has been a fraught release for Rocksteady. It struggled with mixed reviews when it came out back in February and never really recovered its momentum. We wrote in at the time, “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a thoroughly frustrating game to play. There are things to enjoy here, with combat that’s snappy enough to carry it through a genuinely good DC comics story artfully dressed in high production values. But everything else just falls down around it.”

Suicide Squad ended up struggling on the sales front, spurring a double-digit decline in revenue for Warner Bros. gaming. It joins several other online games that have struggled in 2024, including Concord and XDefiant.

Suicide Squad’s final season will begin with the release of Episode 7 on December 10 and will conclude with the release of Episode 8 next month. For more, check out our full explanation of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s endgame.
