Rocksteady Reveals How Joker Works in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League
21.03.2024 - 16:39 / ign.com
Rocksteady has explained how Joker, the first DLC character for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, will work when it's made available with the launch of Season 1 on March 28.
This game’s version of The Joker is “young, energetic and eager to make a name for himself” Rocksteady said in detailing this “new take” on the iconic supervillain.
The Joker comes with an entirely new Traversal kit, using his explosive umbrella to fly around the city. When in the air, the Joker can unfurl his umbrella to float gently to the ground (while raining explosives below), or ride on to swoop forwards at great speed.
The Joker also comes with an entirely new Talent Tree, with three different playstyles of Jester, Firestarter, and Ringmaster. Here’s how Rocksteady explained the playstyles:
The release of Season 1 comes with a new Elseworld during Incursion and Mayhem missions. Season 1 sees a version of Metropolis “infected with the twisted and warped mind of The Joker, creating a darkly comic reflection of the City of Tomorrow.”
Elsewhere, Season of Joker: Episode One includes new Legendary, Notorious and Infamy Set gear, including a Scarecrow Gear Set. Notorious items for this Episode come from several iconic supervillains, including Mad Hatter, Polka-Dot Man and Reverse Flash. The Season 1 battle pass has both a premium and free track, each including new outfits. Rocksteady also published the Season 1 patch notes, which you can check out below.
In this patch we’ve made several improvements and fixes to how our game handles player data, alongside other backend improvements we’ve put live over the past couple of weeks. These should address many of the issues relating to logging into the game, loading into multiplayer sessions and generally improve loading times. We have also addressed several issues that were preventing players unlocking and progressing their Mastery Levels. If you are still experiencing significant issues with the above after the patch please head on over to our Bug Reporting Website and let us know.
Season 1 launches just under two months after Rocksteady’s embattled live-service looter shooter came out, and just a month after Rocksteady parent company Warner Bros. Discovery admitted Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League "has fallen short of our expectations".
Season 1 arrives amid low player numbers for Suicide Squad on Steam (player numbers for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S are unavailable). On Steam, the live-service action game peaked with 13,459 concurrent players, a figure that has plummeted since launch. At the time of this article's publication, just 365 people were playing the game on Valve's platform with a 24-hour peak of 551, according to SteamDB.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Fifth Season Will “Likely” be its Last – Rumour
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has been one of the more poorly received games of the year so far, which, based on what publisher WB Games has said, has been reflected in the way it has performed commercially as well. The recent release of the game’s first post-launch season has done little to reignite interest, having provoked widespread backlash owing to a number of significant issues. Many would tell you that the writing has been on the wall for the game for a while now, and it seems that WB Games and Rocksteady Studios are beginning to make plans for the finish line as well.

Joker Just Killed Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
's Joker-centric Season 1 content launched on March 28, and with the base game facing an extreme player dropoff in the nearly two-month period since its launch, those who did purchase the game, or stuck with it in that time, hoped the Joker content would breathe some new life into it after its endgame content was criticized for becoming repetitive with just a handful of missions, or the option to replay the story content again. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be the case.
