Rocksteady Studios has detailed the first episode of Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, launching on March 28th, in a new blog post. There’s also a new gameplay trailer available. Check it out below.
The Joker is an Elseworlds version of the character and not the same as the Arkham-verse. His explosive umbrella is a new traversal kit, which can rain down explosives in mid-air or glide at incredible speeds. His Talent Trees are Jester, Ringmaster and Firestarter. The first is effective against multiple enemies and specializes in melee damage. The second is all about the Fire Affliction, while the third is traversal-focused-increasing the time spent in-air and damage dealt.
Season 1 also introduces a new Metropolis Elseworld, twisted by The Joker, and new weapons and gear. New Mayhem and Assault missions are coming while a new Incursion mission type, Combat Incursions, is being added. There will also be new Mutators, including enemies resurrecting and gaining Green Lantern shields.
In the first episode, players can obtain a new Scarecrow Gear Set with three Tiers focused on inflicting Fear and Horror on enemies. New Notorious items based on Polka-Dot Man, Reverse Flash and Mad Hatter are also inbound. Intergang is also being introduced as a new weapon manufacturer, focusing on close-range damage, with each shot dishing out multiple projectiles. Alongside different rarities of weapons, some existing Legendaries will also get the Intergang treatment.
There will also be new outfits, win poses and banners, with the Premium Battle Pass containing Waynetech suits for the Squad. The free track features Deadshot’s version of the outfit with various Swatches to equip. Stay tuned for more details on Season 1 Episode 1 in the coming weeks.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Check out our review and the post-launch roadmap here.
NOTE: There are spoilers ahead for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and potentially for as-yet-unreleased post-launch content.
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.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is reportedly set to bring popular DC villain Deathstroke in its Season 4 update. If the leaks are true, the deadly assassin's arrival in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will mark his first appearance in the Arkhamverse since featuring in 2015's Batman Arkham Knight.
From the world of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comes a spooky new series starring two dead boys who decide to ditch the afterlife and quite literally become detectives.
It’s April Fools’ Day, but this post is no joke: There is a lot of new TV to watch this week. In a lot of ways it’s a showdown of tense situations — “tense,” here, being used to cover things like Tom Ripley (Andrew Scott, in the new adaptation) trying to con his way into high society, American Horror Story: Delicate’s Anna (Emma Roberts) attempting to figure what’s a real haunting and what’s in her head, Mark (Steven Yeun) trying to live up to the title of Invincible while he protects his family, or Larry David (Larry David) just trying to make it through the end of Curb Your Enthusiasm alive.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s first season, Season of the Joker, launched on March 29th and instantly received negative feedback from fans. Some criticisms include very little new story content, a grind to unlock The Joker (with an option to pay $10 for instant access), a boss fight with Brainiac based on the Green Lantern, and more. Even the new Incursions are substandard.
Joker’s debut might be the final straw for some players. A multiversal version of Batman's arch-nemesis was added to the looter-shooter title as part of its first season of post-launch content, alongside new levels, weapons, and more.
Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is live, bringing The Joker as the first new playable character. It also offers new Notorious and Infamy sets, cosmetics and weapons. Check out the motion comic-style trailer below, which outlines The Joker’s origins and how he ended up with a prosthetic leg.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hasn't been enjoying much success since launch, with Warner Bors. having practically branded the game a failure and the majority of the game's fanbase having dropped off due to unpopular story choices and generally unsatisfying gameplay. Season 1 of the game's promised post-launch content was a chance to turn those fortunes around though, but Rocksteady has allowed that chance to slip through its fingers in pretty dramatic fashion.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s first post-launch season is kicking off imminently, bringing with it a new playable character in the form of The Joker, in addition to new weapons, gear, missions, adjustments to the existing content, and more. It will, of course, also go hand-in-hand with a new battle pass, full details for which have now been unveiled by developer Rocksteady Studios.
World of Warcraft Classic is nearing the release of Phase 3 for Season of Discovery, and the next stage is scheduled to add the Sunken Temple as a Level 50 raid, and give players a powerful world buff for braving its depths. It's fair to say that World of Warcraft Classic struck gold with Season of Discovery, as the number of subscribers has risen steadily ever since its debut in November 2023. Whereas adding a Hardcore Mode was insanely popular for streamers and grizzled Classic veterans, Season of Discovery was made with a broader appeal in mind.
With the Vision Pro finally available, many consumers are curious about Apple’s AR/VR headset and the apps that come with it. While some are from companies you recognize — Disney+, Max, TikTok, Zoom, Reddit and others — there are plenty of independent developers that launched visionOS-optimized apps.
