Suicide Squad Season 1 Barely Adds Any New Content Besides Joker, Here's How To Unlock Him

Season 1 of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has begun, though it barely comes with any new content besides the addition of Joker.

It's over

[just_looken]

This will be 2024's Babylon’s Fall that team was yelling more content soon even as the power cord was being pulled. It crazy how square sold dlc but it was never tossed out 0 issues there.

It still boggles my mind that so many studios are insistent on these live service games but struggle to support them for more than a few months.

People see these titans fall, especially Rocksteady with a great track record with the iconic Arkham Batman games and STILL go

“Yeah. Let’s go Live Service, we won’t end up like them”

[CobraKai]

I honestly feel WBs new trajectory for their gaming division Is a huge reason why Rocksteady made this failure.

[blackblades]

Right, Helldiver 2 been getting content left and right. These studios need a wake up call. I blame WB i bet they had something to do with it.

[just_looken]

They did rocksteady had plans for a batman beyond game superman game even wanted to to there own justice league.

Back in 2008 when the arkham verse began they had the talent behind the 90's/early 2k animated shows over time wb fired that team today very very few remain. That is why kevin/mark lent there voices because it was a relationship with rocksteady kind of a btas 2.0 revision deal

All the ideas were scrapped with hints of a unannounced big project then of course 2-3 years ago we got that trailer at e3.

I mean I get why the idea is appealing: You build a game universe and your responsibility from here is not to keep making new games, but to produce new content for a game you've already made. Far less demanding and is much better for cost efficiency.

You are right to say that they struggle to support them for more than a few months, but I think this game and those like it getting (rightfully) panned out of the gate is also affecting even the developers' interest (or perhaps budget) to make more content for it.The fact that they're pulling out Joker for Season 1 is not a good sign at all. Adding him with little other content really seems like a Hail Mary. It would be like if Smash Ultimate was doing poorly and the first new guest character was Sephiroth.

The other challenge of these types of games is timely season releases. If you want to keep people's attention, new compelling content needs to be on time. That's likely to result in crunch and misery (and ultimately a worse product).

The best chance a Live Service game has, in my opinion, is easing up on the budget and team size (AA, at most) and making a great gameplay loop on day 1. Helldivers II did exactly that and the game was the breakout hit of February. Don't break the bank, test the waters, and if you've got a great product, keep supporting it. As long as you reel in the budget, there is far less need for aggressive monetization throughout the life of the product, too.

The worst looking joker i have ever seen

[Dandalandan117]

I didn't think I would see a worst looking joker than Jared Leto's

[Knightofelemia]

Honestly the Joker looks like something out of Fortnite and also looks like he pitches left field.

[staticall]

You know what's the worst part (aside from this abomination existing and how they massacred my boy Rocksteady)? I can't even kill this cosplayer. Instead of Brainiac and the Justice League, i would've gladly killed him.

[CrimsonWing69]

Sounds great! Why don’t we all run out and buy this!

[Inverno]

That was the plan. Release bare bones game, hype people up for more content, release bare bones first season. By then people would've convinced themselves to wait for season 2 cause "it'll be better". If not for the Sweet Baby controversy they would have succeeded.

[ChiefofLoliPolice]

It's over. "YOU DONE FUCKED IT UP!!"

Time to let it die. It's done.

[HankHill]

The sheep have moved on from this game already. R.I.P.

[ziggyzinfirion]

If Suicide Squad wasn't mentioned, I would have thought this is Fortnite Joker.

[TwoPicklesGood]

The joker is fun but we needed a lot more content to keep us playing. A few hours after season and I’m already bored.
