What to Expect From Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s Deathstroke

by

As a lifelong fan of the Arkham series, I can confidently say that the arrival of Deathstroke in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is like a dream come true. It’s been nearly a decade since we last saw Slade in action, and his debut has been long overdue. The game has added a few characters since its launch, but none have generated as much excitement as Deathstroke.

It’s undeniable that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League had a challenging year. After its initial release by Rocksteady, which saw underwhelming sales and mixed fan reactions, the game has been maintaining itself with post-launch content for a devoted, albeit small, player base. However, there’s a possibility of a turnaround following the announcement that Deathstroke will be added to the game in an upcoming update.

Fans of the Arkham series have eagerly anticipated Slade becoming part of the Squad ever since his potential recruitment in Batman: Arkham Origins, where Amanda Waller enlisted DC’s top assassin for her service. However, it’s been almost a decade since then, and fans have been waiting patiently; Deathstroke’s debut has been highly anticipated. Since the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, several post-release characters have been added, but Deathstroke’s arrival is the one that promises to create quite a stir.

Deathstroke is Coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

What Will Be Included In Suicide Squad’s Season 4 Update?

In the comic books, a variety of characters have been associated with the Suicide Squad. However, the game’s focus on gunplay has posed some challenges when it comes to incorporating new characters. For instance, it’s hard to explain why characters like Black Manta or Arkham-verse Killer Croc would be using assault rifles in combat. Deathstroke, however, is a significant addition because not only is he popular among fans, but his character and historical weapon choices align well with firearms such as assault rifles, sniper rifles, and pistols. As for which types of guns Deathstroke will have access to in the game, it’s currently unknown, but considering his character and past preferences, those seem like the most likely possibilities.

Similar to characters like Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and more recently, Joker, Slade can be obtained in one of two ways: either by purchasing directly or through earning points after playing certain levels (grinding). It’s important for returning players to know that the requirements to unlock Slade have been reduced compared to when Joker was first introduced shortly after launch. This means you can either invest some time in missions or spend a little money to get him immediately.

For the update on “Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League”, expect an abundance of renowned and infamous firearms and costumes for Slade and his fellow squadmates to utilize. Additionally, there’s a fresh Battle Pass introduced, marking the beginning of the fourth season in the game.

Deathstroke’s Arrival Could Mean a Lot for the Arkham Universe

For years, dedicated Arkham followers have been well-acquainted with Slade’s connection to Batman in Rocksteady’s universe, and they’ve been eagerly awaiting news about his activities following his embarrassing loss in Arkham Knight. Now, it seems their questions might finally be answered as Deathstroke is the first character from the Arkham-verse itself to be introduced as DLC. Characters previously added have all originated from various timelines devastated by Brainiac. The arrival of Deathstroke will likely bring intriguing insights into his post-game activities, given the ongoing interest in uncovering more details about one of the most cherished Batman narratives, despite the game being generally viewed as a misstep among fans.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express my excitement over Deathstroke’s entry into Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League! However, this event also signals the conclusion of the game’s current narrative arc. With whispers abound about Rocksteady transitioning to another Batman project and Warner Bros. acknowledging the game’s financial underperformance, it seems likely that this will be the grand finale for our beloved game.
