Rocksteady Studios announced Deathsroke’s inclusion in the game’s fourth season. The iconic masked villain will be part of the final announced season that kicks off on December 10th, with more content expected to follow.
The unveiling of Deathstroke’s new design has sparked significant interest among gamers, intensifying anticipation for the upcoming season’s launch. However, Rocksteady’s announcement didn’t feature any precise details about Deathstroke’s new role. Fans expect more details to follow soon.
Deathstroke’s inclusion brings a close to RockSteady’s 2024 roadmap that was revealed in January. At the time, Rocksteady announced season 1, adding the Joker as a playable character and more game content.
The game’s marketing materials also promised the inclusion of three new playable characters, three new playable environments, themed gear sets, more weapons, more activities, mid-season updates, and more content in seasons 2, 3, and 4. The game studio delivered on its promise, with the content milestones all being achieved despite struggling through its development.
While the roadmap announcement triggered gamer intrigue, the game fell short of gamers’ and publishers’ expectations. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s release earned subpar reviews, with gamers giving it mixed reviews on Steam.
Season 2 and Season 3 also struggled to resonate with gamers despite including iconic characters such as Dr. Freeze and Gunhawk. Consequently, Rocksteady faced substantial criticism as the studio sought to reignite player interest through a series of post-launch updates and adjustments.
‘Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’ has been underwhelming despite building up gamer anticipation before it was released. The game’s struggles extended to its publisher, Warner Bros, which said it had lost $200 million in revenue.
The loss was one of many disappointing outcomes that affected the game’s development and, more so, its decisions around its development direction. After launching the game in a live-service format, the developers struggled to match gamers’ expectations.
A fan said:
“Took you way too long to add your best character. Haven’t even thought about this game since The Joker was added. Maybe I’ll give it a try for Deathstroke.”

However, with Deathstroke, a fan-favorite character, making his entry, gamers’ expectations have been raised. Fans of the series have stated that they were eagerly waiting for the season to kick off. Some discussed the game’s previous setbacks, with many stating that they would have been avoided if the developers had included characters that gamers were interested in.
With some gamers opting to be skeptical about the fourth season, others speculated that it might be Rocksteady’s final chance to change the game’s dwindling fortunes.
