  • Leaked details hint at Season 4 featuring Deathstroke as a playable character, leading up to a climactic battle against Brainiac in Season 5.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is rumored to welcome the infamous DC antagonist Deathstroke in its upcoming Season 4 update. If the speculations hold true, Deathstroke's appearance in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will mark his return to the Arkhamverse after his last role in 2015's Batman Arkham Knight.

Rocksteady's latest installment in the Arkhamverse, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, takes a departure from the traditional single-player format, embracing the prevalent live-service model seen in modern gaming. Despite facing criticism, including concerns over microtransactions, live-service games offer a continuous flow of new in-game content with each season. Recently, Season 1 of the Suicide Squad game introduced the Joker, hinting at the possibility of another iconic Batman foe joining the roster soon.

As leaked by insider Miller Ross on Twitter, Deathstroke is set to rejoin the Arkhamverse in Season 4 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, expected to launch in January 2025. The leak suggests that Season 4 will witness Batman returning to Metropolis to reconstruct the Justice League alongside Flash and Green Lantern, post the game's events. Additionally, it reveals that Deathstroke will be a playable character, torn between aiding his archenemy or pursuing his own agenda.

Notably, the leak discloses that Kevin Conroy will lend his voice to the Dark Knight in the Season 4 update of the game. Furthermore, Season 4 is anticipated to set the stage for a grand finale in Season 5, where the reassembled Justice League and ARGUS will confront Brainiac to end his tyranny once and for all. With prior rumors hinting at Deathstroke's appearance in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the anticipation for the masked mercenary's inclusion in the game continues to grow.

Rocksteady's Efforts to Revitalize Interest in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Despite lackluster reception, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League from Rocksteady, renowned for its exceptional gaming portfolio, has been met with mixed reviews. Criticism has also been directed at Warner Bros Games' live-service strategy for the Arkhamverse title, drawing ire from dedicated fans. Nevertheless, the development team is actively engaged in revamping the game post-launch to improve its standing.

Currently, Rocksteady is running a promotion offering players free outfits daily upon logging into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League until April 7. This initiative follows the recent introduction of the Joker in the Season 1 update on March 28. With a continuous stream of new rewards and narrative content, the studio is striving to leverage this period to engage a wider player base and enhance the game's appeal.
