A few hours ago, Rocksteady sent out an email newsletter to announce the release date and details for Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Season 2.
The big addition is the playable new character Mrs. Freeze, also known as Nora Fries. She’s an alternate version of Mr. Freeze, who is more commonly found in DC adaptations (including Batman Arkham City, where the Caped Crusader fights him in one of the boss battles). The newsletter did not go into further details on Mrs. Freeze’s moveset, but the developers will likely do so shortly, given that Season 2 is coming to Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League next Thursday.
Episode 3, called Frozen Hearts, will add an Elseworlds Mayhem map, a Superman versus Flash Brainiac fight, an ‘ever-changing’ Metropolis, new Infamy sets and Notorious gear such as the Killer Frost Infamy set, Firefly Notorious, and Parasite Notorious Melee, and of course, a new Battle Pass.
Episode 4, called Winter, brings a Green Lantern versus Superman Brainiac fight, new incursions, new Infamy sets and Notorious gear such as the Captain Cold Infamy set, Icicle Notorious, and Trickster Notorious Melee, and new Shop items.
It does look like Rocksteady will keep its promise to deliver four seasons of post-launch content for the game despite its massive failure. As revealed by parent company Warner Bros., Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League contributed to a $200 million lower EBITDA compared to last year’s outstanding performance bolstered by Hogwarts Legacy. The game was also panned by critics, including Wccftech’s Nathan Birch, who gave it just 5 out of 10:
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has a sprinkling of that classic Rocksteady charm, delivering polished visuals, fluid traversal and combat, and some snappy repartee, but the whole experience is bogged down by dreary, repetitive mission design, empty live service elements, and a feel-bad story that’s mean-spirited to the point of feeling oddly resentful.
The studio isn’t at any risk of being shut down, though. According to Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, it will be given the chance to return to what it does best: a single-player game. Meanwhile, some Rocksteady employees are helping on a Hogwarts Legacy Director’s Cut.
