Summary
- Leaked rumors suggest that the first four post-launch playable characters for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be Joker, Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke.
- Pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition of the game grants early access to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League starting on January 30, 2024.
- Beyond the initial rumored DLC characters, there are hints of more Batman villains, as well as Aquaman and Flash villains, to be added to the game in the future.
With a little more than a week left before the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, the next four playable characters have potentially leaked. According to the rumor, the next four playable characters will all be released in the first year post-launch, and they are Joker, Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke. In all fairness, it has already been confirmed that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is adding the Joker, but the leaker's initial post dates back to last year – long before the Clown Prince's in-game reveal.
While previews have been somewhat mixed, hardcore fans are still eager to get their hands on Rocksteady's next game in the DC universe. And for those who simply cannot wait until February 2 to start playing through the upcoming action title, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will be available early for players who pre-order the Deluxe Edition. Early access begins on January 30, 2024.
Leaker Miller Ross has taken to social media to reportedly reveal the first year's worth of DLC characters for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Previously, Ross teased the DLC leak through a series of emojis, but the leaker's latest post has gotten far more specific. While Ross has already been proven right about the Joker, he is claiming Victoria Fries (Mrs. Freeze), Zoe Lawton (Lawless), and Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) are all joining the longtime Batman archenemy in the game's first post-launch year. Additionally, Ross states that Killer Croc and Katana are two characters that "seem to be earmarked" as future DLC.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Rumored DLC Characters
- Joker - confirmed
- Victoria Fries (Mrs. Freeze)
- Zoe Lawton (Lawless)
- Slade Wilson (Deathstroke)
- Katana
- Killer Croc
Ross has also been teasing even more Batman villains, along with an Aquaman and Flash baddie, coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Outside Katana and Killer Croc, however, the rest of the villains remain unnamed.
While the rumored leak covers a handful of big-name DC villains, there are still several DLC characters fans want added to the Suicide Squad game. Luckily, there is no shortage of members for the villainous DC group, as the team has featured countless iterations throughout the decades.
Even with disappointing first impressions, Rocksteady appears to be shifting the narrative a bit with the promise of more DLC characters. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League looks to be a title that the developer plans to support for years to come. So, even if the game isn't everything fans want it to be at launch, the talented team at Rocksteady has a chance to right the ship like the developers behind Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky have done in previous years. Still, the verdict isn't in yet, so perhaps fans will be elated by the release of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League when it launches next week.
