Highlights

  • As Rocksteady is addressing fan concerns and being transparent about gameplay and story in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, characters have leaked for the game.
  • Recent leaks suggest the possibility of two new playable characters coming to the game, those being Killer Croc and Deathstroke.
  • However, even more characters have been teased, such as Killer Frost and Katana, suggesting Rocksteady could have big plans in store for the game.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League hasn't had the best reception thus far, but gradually, bit by bit, Rocksteady is doing what it can to win back the faith of fans. Via its new online video series, "Suicide Squad Insider," Rocksteady is being surprisingly transparent about the specific type of gameplay and story that fans can expect from Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and at its very core, it isn't a bad premise at all. The concept of a 4-player co-op Suicide Squad game sounds like a dream come true for fans, and while it's certainly controversial, the notion that it could only be the beginning for the game is a bit exciting.

Though Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's live-service integration has, rightfully so, made a lot of fans skeptical about the game's status on launch-day, it isn't inherently a bad thing. If Rocksteady manages to stay on top of the demanding live-service schedule that's taken down so many games before it, then Suicide Squad could end up being a truly great multiplayer game. And if recent leaks are true, then Rocksteady may already have a few big plans in the works for Suicide Squad's future, including two new playable characters, both of whom have just been leaked.

Killer Croc and Deathroke Might Be Coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Right at the end of November, Rocksteady held its first Alpha test for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, where a handful of lucky fans who signed up previously were invited to participate and play through the game's opening hours. Of course, handing the reins over to fans, even in a closed environment like this, can lead to some pretty major data breaches, and that's exactly what happened a few weeks ago.

Following Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's Alpha, a fairly well-known leaker by the name of Miller Ross took to Twitter to tease what he'd learned from a seemingly substantial data mine. Ross teased that a fifth playable character would be coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League post-launch, and that the villain would be none other than Batman antagonist Killer Croc.

Just a week later, Ross took to Twitter once more to tease yet another post-launch character for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, this time being Deathstroke, another incredibly popular DC villain that's appeared in Justice League, Batman, and Teen Titans stories for decades. Another important tidbit that Ross noted was that he believed these two characters would be coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League during its first DLC wave. While all leaks and rumors should always be taken with a big pinch of salt, Miller Ross has proven himself in the past, rising in popularity a few years ago after leaking a series of post-launch characters for Marvel's Avengers.

Killer Croc and Deathstroke Aren't The Only Character Leaks for Suicide Squad

While Killer Croc and Deathstroke are the two post-launch characters that Miller Ross has expressly identified, there are a handful of other characters that the leaker teased via emojis, and still hasn't confirmed either way. These emojis include a clown, some justice balancing scales, and a blue face freezing over. Though Ross has remained very cryptic about these DLC characters, many fans have theorized that the clown probably doesn't refer to the Joker, but instead potentially a lesser-known villain like Trickster. The scales, according to Ross, represent a new interpretation of an old character, and fans are sure that the ice-cold face refers to Killer Frost. Ross has also stated that Katana is probably coming to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, giving fans a lot to look forward to.
