Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League Joker DLC Teased; End Game Content Explained

As we near the launch of Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League, Rocksteady has begun opening up about how the game’s endgame works, as well as giving a brief tease as to what’s coming later in the game, as apparently there are DLC plans already.

Revealed during a Q&A session on the game’s Discord, Game Director Axel Rydy discussed what players can expect from the Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League endgame, describing it as “constantly evolving” and “challenging” with districts themed around villains, and the first being Batman villain, Bane.

“After you’ve completed the main story, End Game is a huge, constantly evolving and challenging experience for you to put your skills to the test.
Our core philosophy for End Game was, essentially, Mastery. Mastery of your character, traversal, Talents, enemy types, mission mechanics and, of course, your choice of build. And as the difficulty increases, you will have to find new builds to overcome the challenge. That’s why we have three distinct Tiers of Infamy Sets in End Game, all themed around an iconic DC character. For launch, that character is Bane, and his Infamy Sets are all themed around different ways of dominating your enemies and harnessing the chaos around you.

We have a somewhat chaotic game, with a constantly changing battlefield with lots of things going on. The game is frantic and fast paced, and we’ve purposefully made it to feel like the Squad is always surrounded and in the middle of the chaos, and Mastery of the game comes from you harnessing that chaos and using it as one of your strengths, turning the very thing Brainiac is throwing at you right back at him.”

He goes on to explain how they’ve built the end game, and how difficulty scales with rewards.

“Because our game is chaotic and because we wanted our End Game to lean into build construction as well as Mastery of mechanics, we’ve made our End Game revolve around a core backbone of mission types that provide a more predictable experience and challenge. But that doesn’t mean that Brainiac is just going to sit back and let you go head to head with his forces without throwing a spanner in the works, or that you know what’s going to happen in each mission. Brainiac keeps evolving his forces throughout End Game and you’ll have to adapt your builds to match this.

There will be several types of missions, from the snappier Incursion Missions, where the poor Squad is sent into Brainiac’s domain under the protection of a very fickle Promethium Shield that protects you from the Skull Ship’s tentacles as well as the full force of Brainiac’s army. The Squad have to fight their way through Brainiac’s forces – often with the help of the Support Squad – to make it back to Metropolis. But once the mission is completed, the Promethium Shield goes down so the Squad has to leg it. Waller’s really not doing the Squad any favours here and she seems intent on emphasising the Suicide in Suicide Mission. Then we have the more grand Killing Time missions where the Squad is battling an increasingly frantic horde of Brainiac’s enemies, and they have to keep killing enemies to fuel the Promethium Shield because once it goes down, there’s no hiding from the Skull Ship’s tentacles.

As the difficulty levels go up, so do the rewards, and we have some quite frankly insane Infamy Sets and Notorious items that are earned from the highest tiers of End Game. That, paired with Global leaderboards for Solo, 2-player, 3-player and 4-player groups, mean that there’s plenty of friendly competition to go around… And if you want some tips on how to build your character, the leaderboards will be a good place to scout around.”

This closed out the Q&A, though neatly tied into the tease at the end, hinting that we’ll be getting a Joker-themed DLC.

If the image wasn’t obvious that this was Joker-themed, the file name is called “SS_Logo_Joker_2,” and we even get our first look at what might even be the Joker in the screenshot from an upsidedown newspaper clipping.

And a spoiler warning for those who didn’t play the Batman Arkham games. I’m sure most are wondering, wait, didn’t the Joker die at the end of Arkham City? He did, so the question is, just who is this version of the Joker? They look different, so we can assume it’s a different person. Or, perhaps maybe this may be a hint of the multiverse existing?

We’ll know soon enough, as Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League is launching in a few weeks. For now, let the theories commence!
