Since the addition of the Joker to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, players have eagerly awaited news of new content.
Developer Rocksteady has been forthcoming with details about the second half of season one. However, as we approach the end of May, none of this promised content has materialized in the game.
Hopes are high that we’ll see this content by the end of the month. Nevertheless, this delay raises concerns about future seasons of the game. If the second half of each season is treated as a mid-season update, it suggests that each season may last around four months. A four-month wait for a single new character and no new mission types could lead to disappointment and undermine the game’s potential. This is frustrating, given that the core gameplay is quite enjoyable. Fans who have supported Rocksteady are understandably frustrated by the lack of clear communication from the developer.
Rocksteady could explore other avenues for content, such as offering a variety of skins in its marketplace. However, the game struggles in this area as well. Unlike Crystal Dynamics’ Avengers, which consistently released new skins, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League falls short.
The gaming industry’s trend of studio closures adds to the uncertainty. Even a developer once renowned for its Batman Arkham series faces internal competition with the announcement of Batman Arkham Shadow.
Warner Bros. Discovery’s plans to focus on live service games might prompt consideration of making Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League free-to-play. However, even with such a move, regular content updates would be crucial to maintaining player interest.
The situation raises questions about the future of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and whether Rocksteady can navigate these challenges successfully.
