Suicide Squad’s free post-launch DLC will include The Joker as a playable character

Rocksteady has detailed its plans for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s free post-launch seasonal content.

In the third and final episode of its ‘Insider’ video series, the studio said each season will be themed around a different DC character, starting in March with The Joker.

They’ll also “incorporate alternate realities invaded by Brainiac known as Elseworlds”.

The Joker will have unique traversal abilities and weaponry, including a rocket-powered umbrella to launch himself through the open world of Metropolis.

Warner said Season 1’s free content will include:

“For future Seasons 2-4, fans can look forward to three new playable characters, three new playable environments, new weapons, themed gear sets, activities, mid-season updates, and more,” it added.

The new Suicide Squad video features character insight from actor Jason Issacs, who voices Brainiac in the game, and new details on the title’s social features and four-player co-op mode.

Following several delays, the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League release date is February 2, 2024, for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam.

Last month, the PC version’s Epic Games Store release suffered a further delay to March 5.
