Summary
Fans and players ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguemay end up waiting longer than they planned to for the game’s next scheduled update. According to developer Rocksteady, the team is prioritizing testing planned fixes to ensure they’re ready for deployment to theSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueservers and clients.
Suicide Squadhas had a rough go of things since its launch in early February 2024. Multiple delays and leaks resulted in backlash against the game before it was even released. Following launch, audience fatigue over the proliferation of live-service elements also contributed to a lukewarm reception, causing publisher Warner Bros. to declare thatSuicide Squadsales were disappointing. Nevertheless, the game maintains an audience, and developer Rocksteady remains committed to deploying a promised four seasons of content for the game through 2024.
Despite Rocksteady’s committment, though, new issues and problems withSuicide Squadstability are affecting its ability to bring out updates on schedule. The patch notes covering theMarch 1Suicide Squadupdateincluded a comment about the next patch. That patch was originally scheduled to deploy “next week,” indicating the week of July 11, 2025. The patch will be delayed to an unspecified date. Testing new updates is needed, asthe secondSuicide Squadpatch introduced a new bugthat blocked progress for some players.
According to Rocksteady’s comment, the team must focus on deploying the free Season 1 Update in March. TheSuicide SquadSeason 1 Update will add the Jokeras a playable character. It’ll also add new gear, environments, and other fresh content for existing players.
That said, Rocksteady won’t leave players interested in seeing more bug fixes in the lurch. Rocksteady said it is prioritizing fixes to outstanding multiplayer issues and problems with login. An update is in the works that will not require a client-side patch, so players won’t have to download new files to potentially see improvement. Ensuring that players can actually access the game should helpprevent theSuicide Squadplayer count from dropping further.
While a disappointing commercial performance and a lukewarm reception from the audience is bad news forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, it’s encouraging to see that Rocksteady is still committed to keeping the game updated consistently with its announced post-release content. Nothing damages a live game’s prospects more severely than signs that a developer won’t support it, so those who are having fun with the game and those who arecurious about jumping intoSuicide Squadin the near future can at least rest assured that the game will get support through 2024.
