Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Receives Final Major Update

Rocksteady Studios has released the final major content update for its live-service title, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Season 4 Episode 8, "Balance," is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. This marks the end of new content development for the game, though servers will remain online.

Launched in February 2024 to mixed reception, the game's live-service model contributed to its relatively short lifespan. Announced on December 9th, 2024, the end of support was confirmed less than a year after release. Rocksteady clarified that online features will remain accessible, allowing players to continue enjoying the game's cooperative elements.

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 weapons, including The Silencer's Complete Silence (with a powerful area-of-effect ability), Doctor Sivana's Magic Bullets (piercing and electrifying enemies), and Chronos' Equilibrium (bonus 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.
• Bug Fixes: A comprehensive list of bug fixes addresses various gameplay, UI, audio, and performance issues.

The update also builds upon the offline mode introduced in Season 4 Episode 7, allowing players to experience the main campaign and seasonal missions without an internet connection. While server shutdown isn't currently planned, this offline functionality ensures continued access to the game's content.

For those yet to experience Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it's currently available on PlayStation Plus until February 3rd, alongside The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered.

Season 4 Episode 8 Patch Notes Highlights:

• Medieval Elseworld Expansion: New areas and challenges within the medieval Elseworld setting.
• Significant Bug Fixes: Addressing numerous reported issues across various game systems.
• Performance Improvements: Optimizations for smoother gameplay.

Known Issues:

• Incorrect tracking of Riddler challenges when accessed from different Episodes. Exiting to the main menu resolves this.

This final update concludes the journey for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, but its content remains accessible to players.
