Rocksteady and Warner Bros have announced that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's fourth season will serve as its last, and that you'll be able to play the superhero third-person shooter offline starting from today.
In a Season 4 deep dive blog post on the game's official website, Rocksteady says that Season 4's eighth episode, which will debut in January, will "serve as the last seasonal Episode" for Suicide Squad, and that "the Suicide Squad's crusade against Brainiac is drawing to an end".
Although seasons are ending, there is a silver lining. Suicide Squad's offline mode, which Rocksteady confirmed would eventually happen back in December last year, is being introduced today as part of Season 4's seventh episode.
Suicide Squad's offline mode will let you experience everything that's been released for the game without needing to be connected to the internet, and you'll even be able to copy over your online profile to create a new offline file.
What's more, all of your cosmetics and the other content you've purchased will be available via the offline mode. You can check out Rocksteady's FAQ if you want more info about how Suicide Squad's offline mode will work.
A new playable character is also being introduced in this season in the form of Deathstroke, who has three distinct playstyles: Assassin, Mercenary, and Strategist. As you'd expect, each carries its own Talents to distribute as well.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's demise probably shouldn't come as a surprise. Back in February, Warner Bros admitted that sales of the game had been disappointing; in fact, it was the major contributing factor to a $200 million writedown for the studio's gaming division.
In September, developer Rocksteady was hit by layoffs mainly focused on the QA division, with Rocksteady employees reportedly directly citing Suicide Squad's underperformance as the reason for the layoffs.
As for what Rocksteady's up to now, the studio is apparently helping out with a Director's Cut version of Harry Potter RPG Hogwarts Legacy, and it's also reportedly looking to pitch a new single-player game. Let's hope it meets with more success than Suicide Squad.
