Final Major Content Update for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Released

Final Update for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Rocksteady has launched the last significant content update for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
The new content, Season 4 Episode 8, is available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.
No additional content will be created post the January 14 update, although servers will remain active.

Rocksteady Studios has officially rolled out Season 4 Episode 8, marking the end of major updates for their live-service game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Following its release in February 2024, which was met with largely negative reviews, the studio announced it would cease support for the game less than a year later. January 14 will be the date for the ultimate patch, which is now downloadable on all major gaming systems, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The game’s intriguing premise had the potential to attract superhero enthusiasts. However, its disappointing live-service model was a significant factor in its quick decline. On December 9, 2024, Rocksteady revealed that Season 4 Episode 8 would be the concluding chapter for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Despite this news, players will still have access to all online functionalities, keeping the multiplayer experience alive for those wishing to team up with friends.

Following a brief server downtime, players can now dive into Season 4 Episode 8, titled Balance. This latest update introduces an Infamy Set themed around the DC supervillain Libra, a selection of powerful new Notorious weapons, and a concluding Mayhem mission that culminates in an epic confrontation with Brainiac. The update also includes several important gameplay adjustments, including reduced XP requirements for leveling up.

Even with the release of Season 4 Episode 8, the game will allow offline play, a feature that was established with the previous Season 4 Episode 7 update in December. This update enables players to work through campaign missions and seasonal content without needing consistent internet access. While full server shutdowns have not been officially disclosed, players can look forward to enjoying the game’s content even if online services are eventually discontinued.

For newcomers who may not have experienced this title during its brief lifespan, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has recently been made available through PlayStation Plus. Until February 3, subscribers can download this controversial live-service game along with titles like The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe and Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered.

Patch Notes for Season 4 Episode 8 Update

Medieval Genius

Explore the new medieval Elseworld in Episode 8: Balance, featuring familiar landscapes with surprising twists. Challenge yourself at The Quarry, a fortified stronghold that must be conquered to defeat the tyrant Brainiac. The Arena is ideal for jousting competitions and inter-dimensional battles, adorned with awe-inspiring statues of King Jor-El and Queen Lara Lor-Van from an age of valor.

Libra Infamy Set

The episode introduces the Libra-inspired Infamy Set, reflecting the character’s obsession with balance. This set applies Scales of Libra to enemies, raising the damage they inflict and take by 50% per stack, encouraging a bold yet risky gameplay style.

Notorious Weapons

Complementing Libra’s Infamy Set are weapons like The Silencer’s Complete Silence, which delivers a significant 200% damage increase to enemies affected by Scales of Libra. Its Alt-Fire feature offers a whopping 1,000% bonus damage and creates a zone that reduces enemy damage output, perfect for controlling crowds and maximizing your team’s damage output.

Doctor Sivana’s Magic Bullets weapon pierces through enemies and applies Scales of Libra, offering the potential to electrify opponents in its path. This weapon can decimate groups when expertly aimed.
