One of the biggest flops of 2024 has just received its final content update as a PS Plus Essential January 2025 monthly game. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League‘s inclusion in PS Plus has already been widely criticized by members, but Rocksteady Studios and WB Games have made good on their promise to roll out Episode 8: Balance as scheduled despite the lackluster response.
Will Suicide Squad’s final update woo PS Plus members over?
Alongside bug fixes and improvements, Episode 8 brings a new Mayhem mission, a Libra inspired Infamy Set, new powerful weapons, and some gameplay changes. Additionally, players will be able to explore more of the Elseworld map where they can finally beat Brainiac.
Patch notes are as follows:
GAMEPLAY CHANGES
Reduced the duration of Deathstroke’s Suicide Strike against certain enemies, to be closer in line with other characters’.
The XP requirements for Squad Levels have been decreased, and rewards from previously earned XP are given retroactively. Players with profiles that have earned XP may notice an increase in Squad Levels, and that extra Squad Points are available to spend following the update to Episode 8.
