Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 4 Arrives with Deathstroke

The latest season of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is just around the corner, and fans are excited to see what’s in store. The newest character joining the multiverse fray is none other than Deathstroke, and he’s looking cooler than ever. But will he arrive solo or alongside the live-service game’s promised offline mode?

A New Era for Suicide Squad

The news arrived on Friday via a short social media post teasing the December 10 release date for season 4, along with art for Deathstroke, who will be the fourth post-launch character added to Suicide Squad’s roster since its release in January. Unlike some of the earlier additions, however, fans are actually excited about the sword-wielding assassin’s reveal.

Deathstroke: A Fan Favorite

As one player on the game’s subreddit put it, "Now that is an awesome Deathstroke design! The heavy battle-damage across the suit and armor plates adds so much depth to the lethal super-soldier visage." Another joked, "Of all the characters they could have added, Condiment King, Slipknot who can climb anything, Kite Woman, Harley Quinn’s former roommate from college, Dr. Penelope Young’s rotted corpse, why did they choose a popular character like Deathstroke?"

The End-Game Evolves

Suicide Squad’s end-game has been evolving ever since the conclusion of its main campaign left players frustrated and disappointed. A seasonal storytelling structure setting up events that would seemingly see the Justice League eventually brought back into the picture has brought us the Joker, Mrs. Freeze (a gender-swap of the icy villain), and Deadshot’s daughter Lawless. Despite some big updates, new loot, and the expanding roster’s unique traversal and combat abilities, the lack of great missions or interesting boss fights has made the post-launch roadmap a bumpy one.

A Future in Jeopardy?

Suicide Squad was recently available for just $5 on Steam, but the always-online third-person shooter still seems destined for the eventual live-service graveyard. Rocksteady Studios has committed to the game’s first year of promised content, but it’s unclear if it has a future beyond that as the development team faces cuts and work prototyping new single-player projects.

Offline Mode: A Lifeline for Fans

One thing that would keep Suicide Squad secure for its existing fanbase is an offline mode. Rocksteady previously said it was aiming to add this in an update sometime in 2024, but that was prior to the rocky release. A spokesperson for Warner Bros. didn’t respond to a request for comment when Kotaku recently inquired if an offline mode was still on track for this year. Players are hopeful that, despite radio silence on the feature for months, the fact that it’s still promised on Suicide Squad’s website means it’s still coming, eventually.

The Wait Continues

With season 4 just around the corner, fans will have to wait and see what’s in store for Deathstroke and the rest of the Suicide Squad. Will the offline mode arrive soon, or will it be delayed indefinitely? Only time will tell.
