Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is dealing with new problems as hackers have managed to access content that has not yet been released. It has been reported that these hackers are taking advantage of the game to use characters, skins, and details on gear that were meant for future seasons.
As found by IGN, Warner Bros., the company behind the game, is working to stop the leak. They’re taking down leaked images that show hackers using stuff that isn’t out yet, like Deathstroke as a character in the game. There’s also info about new looks and gear for Season 2 that has come out. It’s a big worry for Warner Bros. and Rocksteady Studios, because the leaked stuff is things they were going to sell in the future.
The leaks about Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League come at a tough time for the game. Its launch didn’t meet expectations, and the Season 1 release with Joker as a playable character hasn’t boosted the number of players significantly. On Steam, a major PC gaming platform, the number of players has sharply decreased since the launch, with current numbers at around 588, a notable difference from the peak of 13,459 concurrent players.
The game’s future content plans have hit a roadblock due to leaks and low player numbers. Rocksteady had promised four seasons of new content, including new characters, environments, loot, and activities. However, a recent security breach and the game’s poor performance have raised concerns about these plans. Data miners had uncovered clues about the return of characters like Flash and Green Lantern, as well as rumors about playable characters like Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke being added. But now, the future of this content is uncertain.
It is well known that the game has not met gamers’ expectations. All this content is likely a way for the game to gain new players, but it all feels pretty lackluster. The story is still bad, which was a selling point for the Arkham games. They are really just trying to bring players to a game that many didn’t think was good to begin with. Overall, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is facing several challenges. Hackers have leaked unreleased content, and the game is also experiencing difficulties in retaining players. These issues have cast doubt on the future of the planned four-season content roadmap.
