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

Rocksteady Studios has released the final major content update for its live-service 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 new content development for the game, though online features will remain active.

Launched in February 2024 to mixed reception, the game's unexpected live-service model contributed to its relatively short lifespan. Rocksteady announced the end of support on December 9, 2024, with Season 4 Episode 8 as the final update.

This update includes:

• Libra Infamy Set: A high-risk, high-reward set inspired by the DC super-villain Libra, manipulating damage dealt and received by enemies.
• Notorious Weapons: New powerful 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 battle against Brainiac.
• Gameplay Improvements: Reduced XP requirements for Squad Levels (with retroactive rewards), and adjustments to Deathstroke's Suicide Strike.
• Bug Fixes: Numerous bug fixes addressing various gameplay issues, UI elements, audio, and more. (See detailed patch notes below for specifics).

Offline Play Enabled: Thanks to a previous update (Season 4 Episode 7), players can now enjoy the game's content, including the main campaign and seasonal missions, offline. This ensures continued access even if servers are eventually shut down.

PlayStation Plus Offering: Currently, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available to PlayStation Plus subscribers until February 3, 2025.

Season 4 Episode 8 Patch Notes Summary:

New Content:

• Medieval Elseworld Expansion: Explore new areas within the medieval Elseworld, including The Quarry and The Arena.
