Warner Bros. and DC are signaling ambitious plans tied to Rocksteady Studios’ next big game, with a clear focus on delivering substantial free content after launch. The Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League material distribution sets expectations for ongoing, no-cost updates that expand the game world beyond the main campaign, as explained in the Suicide Squad Insider by the team behind the Batman: Arkham series. This broader vision positions the game as a living universe that evolves through player-friendly seasons and fresh storytelling twists. Citation: official press and publisher materials.
