Rocksteady is running a spring-themed promotion for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League that gives free outfits for logging on every day this week.
The free outfits are available for each member of the squad during the promo, which kicked off on April 3 with a fresh outfit for Captain Boomerang, and runs until this Sunday, April 7.
The promotion comes hot on the heels of the release of Kill the Justice League Season 1, which added Joker as a playable character. Check out Joker’s cutscene and gameplay in the video below:
Season 1 launched just under two months after Rocksteady’s embattled live-service looter shooter came out, and just a month after Rocksteady parent company Warner Bros. Discovery admitted Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League "has fallen short of our expectations".
Season 1 arrived amid low player numbers for Suicide Squad on Steam (player numbers for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S are unavailable), and it doesn’t look like it moved the needle meaningfully. On Steam, the live-service action game peaked with 13,459 concurrent players, a figure that has plummeted since launch. At the time of this article's publication, just 599 people were playing the game on Valve's platform with a 24-hour peak of 922, according to SteamDB.
Tough questions are now being asked about the future of Suicide Squad. Ahead of launch, Rocksteady committed to four seasons of support, each of which adding a new playable character as well as new environments, loot, and activities. IGN has reported on how a Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League player unearthed a hidden message that looked like a strong hint at the return of Batman. Datamining has shown strong hints that Flash and Green Lantern are set to return in some form. Other playable characters suspected to be on their way include Mrs Freeze (Nora Fries), Lawless, and Deathstroke.
IGN's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League review returned a 5/10. We called it "a repetitive and bland looter-shooter that, despite an engaging story, never stays fun for long enough."
