Those that pick upSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguewill be able to continue playing the game well beyond its main campaign.
TheSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueportion of today’s State of Playconfirmed a significant amount of information about the upcoming third-person shooter. A full gameplay demo was shown, with combat footage from all the game’s launch protagonists, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, and King Shark.

That gameplay loop will carry over well intoSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s future, it seems. Rocksteady explained that it has robust DLC plans for its game post-launch. In terms of gameplay, Rocksteady says that players can expect “lots of new content.” Specific examples include character DLC, mission-based DLC, and additional weapons. No mention was made regarding whether this content will be premium or freely available.
Cosmetic DLC will also be offered forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Rocksteady says it plans to offer abattle pass forSuicide Squadthat will solely feature cosmetic DLC. Just a few examples of fun outfits for various characters were shown during the trailer, just as examples. Wonder Woman Harley Quinn and Superman King Shark show that Rocksteady is open to having fun with theSuicide Squadgame’s cosmetics.
There’s obviously a lot left for Rocksteady to announce forSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. A battle pass implies that Rocksteady plans to have a seasonal content schedule, which it has yet to detail. A seasonal content schedule opens upSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueto possible new story chapters, likeFortniteandDestiny 2, or major gameplay shifts, likeOverwatch 2.
Rocksteady can takeSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguein a number of different directions, but it’s admittedly worrisome it has yet to elaborate on those plans. Live service games are oversaturated at the moment and games seem to fail as often as they succeed. If RocksteadywantsSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueto thrivemonths and years after launch, character, mission, and cosmetic DLC will have to be just the start of its plans.
