It's finally over for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, as its final update is now live on Steam. Episode 8: Balance, as it's officially known, adds a new Infamy Set based on the super-villain Libra, as well as new Notorious exotic weapons and a new mission for the final battle against Brainiac.
The biggest change, of course, is the addition of an offline mode that provides access to the main story campaign and all subsequent seasonal content without having to be online. Suicide Squad launched without an offline mode, which did it no favors: In December 2023, Rocksteady committed to adding one in a post-launch update, but the game's more immediate and pressing problems kept developers from getting to it in anything resembling a timely fashion.
Suicide Squad wasn't the five-alarm catastrophe some were expecting ahead of its release, but neither was it very good: «Flashes of greatness,» PC Gamer's Morgan Park said in his 67% review, that are undone by a sub-par story mode, uninteresting loot, and an excess of busywork required to reach the good stuff. Concurrent player numbers cratered quickly, and publisher Warner Bros. said shortly after its release that sales of Suicide Squad had "fallen short of our expectations."
In June 2024, Warner committed to completing Suicide Squad's "currently announced roadmap" of future content releases, really just another way of saying that there would be nothing more beyond that, and the axe officially fell in December.
The good news for those still playing is that Suicide Squad's online features will continue to operate beyond this update, so you can still beat up the bad guys with your friends.
