Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Gets Final Major Content Update

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Receives Final Major Update, Ending Live-Service Support

Rocksteady Studios has released the final major content update for its superhero title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Season 4 Episode 8, titled "Balance," is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This marks the end of live-service support for the game, announced on December 9th, 2024, less than a year after its initial release.

The game's unexpected live-service model is widely considered a contributing factor to its short lifespan. Despite its premise, the reception was largely negative upon its February 2024 launch. While new content development ceases with this patch, all online features will remain active, allowing players to continue enjoying the game's content with friends.

Season 4 Episode 8 introduces significant additions:

• Libra Infamy Set: A high-risk, high-reward set inspired by the DC villain Libra, manipulating enemy damage output.
• Notorious Weapons: New powerful weapons, including The Silencer's Complete Silence (with a devastating Alt-Fire), Doctor Sivana's Magic Bullets (piercing and electrifying enemies), and Chronos' Equilibrium (boosting damage based on missing shield).
• Mayhem Mission: A final showdown against Brainiac.
• Gameplay Improvements: Reduced XP requirements for Squad Levels (with retroactive rewards), and adjustments to Deathstroke's Suicide Strike duration.
• Bug Fixes: A comprehensive list of fixes addressing various gameplay issues, UI elements, audio, and more (see detailed patch notes below).

Offline Play Enabled:

Following the December 2024 Season 4 Episode 7 update, players can now experience the game's content, including the main campaign and seasonal missions, offline. This ensures continued access even if online servers are eventually shut down.

PlayStation Plus Availability:

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is currently available on PlayStation Plus until February 3rd, providing a chance for those who missed it to experience the game.

Season 4 Episode 8 Patch Notes:

MEDIEVAL GENIUS: Explore a new medieval Elseworld area, including The Quarry and The Arena.

LIBRA INFAMY SET: Applies "Scales of Libra" stacks to enemies, increasing damage dealt and received by 50% per stack.

NOTORIOUS WEAPONS: New weapons with unique mechanics and high damage output.

GAMEPLAY CHANGES: XP adjustments and Deathstroke ability tweaks.

BUG FIXES: Extensive bug fixes across various aspects of the game (see original text for detailed list).

KNOWN ISSUES: A known issue regarding Riddler challenge tracking is detailed in the original text.

This final update brings a conclusion to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's live-service journey, but the game remains playable online and offline, offering players a chance to revisit its content.
