Suicide Squad <\/em>is currently in the midst of its first post-launch season starring the Joker, and while player numbers for the loot shooter have failed to materialize, the game will still deliver its promised year-one roadmap, publisher Warner Bros. confirms. That means that it won\u2019t pull a full Anthem<\/em><\/a><\/span> and completely ditch its post-launch plans, despite a report that Rocksteady Studios is already largely focused on other projects. <\/p>\n

\u201cSuicide Squad <\/em>will complete its currently announced roadmap,\u201d a spokesperson for the publisher told Kotaku<\/em> in an email on June 7. That roadmap currently runs through four seasons, each with a new playable character, a new playable environment, and additional activities, skins, and balance updates. Suicide Squad<\/em> is currently finishing the first episode of season 1 with a second episode expected to drop soon, but Rocksteady Games hasn\u2019t been clear about the timing, or if future seasons will last just as long. <\/p>\n

Anyone who\u2019s played a live-service game that\u2019s died, like BioWare\u2019s ill-fated Anthem<\/em> or Crystal Dynamics\u2019\u00a0Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em>, knows that future plans are at the mercy of initial momentum. It\u2019s not clear\u00a0Suicide Squad <\/em>ever made a big enough positive splash in the first place to have a major audience to win back over, let alone the legs to slowly build one over a costly first year of updates. With no frank acknowledgement of the game\u2019s struggles since launch<\/a><\/span>, and weekly update blog posts now becoming more intermittent, fans have naturally began to wonder if Warner Bros. was quietly pulling back from its over $200 million flop. <\/p>\n

Then last week Bloomberg<\/em> reported<\/a><\/span> that many developers at Rocksteady had already been moved to working on a director\u2019s cut of Hogwarts Legacy<\/em> while studio leadership tried to pitch Warner Bros. on a new single-player project that would return the Batman: Arkham <\/em>maker to its roots. Warner Bros. didn\u2019t comment on those parts of the report, or offer any suggestion that Suicide Squad<\/em> would continue releasing new updates after its promised first year. It\u2019s also unclear how much of those post-launch seasons, which were expected to wrap up the main campaign\u2019s inconclusive non-ending, are completed, or if a lot of work still needs to be done on them. <\/p>\n

Mr. Freeze has already been leaked<\/a><\/span> as the next seasonal character, though Suicide Squad<\/em> will have to make bigger changes than that to make it worth playing. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
