Today, Warner Bros. Games and Rocksteady have announced the updated Season 1 roadmap for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
It all starts on March 28, when Suicide Squad members Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark will teleport to a Brainiac-invaded Elseworld to rescue and recruit an alternate reality version of The Joker. As previously announced, the Joker will be the first (and free) post-launch DLC addition for the playable cast. Gameplay-wise, players can expect him to wield a lot of explosives and a rocket-powered umbrella that he uses to propel himself through the air and glide across Metropolis. All Season 1 content will be set in an ever-changing Elseworld version of Metropolis featuring a distorted landscape reimagined in The Joker’s image.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Season 1 will be comprised of two episodes, each coming with new Incursions and Strongholds; missions and activities; DC Super-Villain-themed weapons, gear, and cosmetics; Justice League-infused Brainiac variant boss fights; and more.
Episode 1: Fear will begin right away, on March 28, adding new gear inspired by the terror-inducing toxins and poisons of Scarecrow and Notorious items featuring Mad Hatter, Merlyn, and Dr. Psycho. Players will also find new Mayhem and Assault missions as well as a new type of Incursion mission called Combat Incursions. Brainiac will unleash a host of new Mutators, ramping up the challenge and forcing the squad to adapt to a new battlefield! Enemies will gain Green Lantern Shields or even return from the dead if not handled correctly.
Episode 2: Duality will be released as a mid-season update and includes a new mission type, new Green Lantern infused enemies, new Two-Face Infamy gear sets, and new Notorious weaponry based on DC Super-Villains Reverse-Flash and Black Manta.
The first season of the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League live service will also see the launch of a new Weapon Manufacturer called Intergang. Featuring close-range, high-damage weapons that shoot multiple projectiles with every shot, this manufacturer’s weapons make for devastating close-quarters builds. Players will see weapons of different rarities drop from this Manufacturer, including some existing Legendary weapons.
