Summary
With Brainiac taunting aSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leagueplayer during a hectic battle, the DC villain surprisingly mistakes Deadshot for an upcoming DLC character that has yet to be officially announced by Rocksteady. Leaks are nothing new for most live-service games, as titles likeApex Legends,Genshin Impact,Fortnitehave seen reveals and content go livewell before any official announcement was made. In many cases, dataminers are able to delve into the game’s files and extract details that many felt were well hidden, a common problem that many games have experienced after new updates go live.
Destiny 2is another game that has seen its own fair share of spoilers arrive early, either through upcoming seasonal content or even unannounced story beats. Recently, however, fans were able to see the ending to the Season of the Wish story much earlier than Bungie intended, though it wasn’t through a leaker or dataminer. A big twist intended for the final weeks of the seasonal story was accidentally revealed early through an in-game message, ruining the surprise for many. In a similar way,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas also seemingly revealed a previously unannounced DLC character in a completely random way.
Slight spoilers ahead for those who may not want to know anything about upcoming content.
In a surprising twist, this latest Suicide Squad leak isn’t from someone who unearthed new information early, as it is actually the game which has spoiled new details for fans. Posting a short clip on the Kill the Justice League subreddit, Brainiac can be heard taunting a Deadshot player during a hectic firefight after they get knocked down during a Combat Flair Challenge. The curious dialogue from the DC villain seemingly mistakes Deadshot for a rumored post-launch character, as Brainiac calls them Freeze. RecentSuicide Squadrumors and teases indicate that an ice-themed season 2will likely be adding a gender-bent version of Dr. Victor “Mr. Freeze” Fries, a character known as Victoria Fries.
These tiny line of dialogue seems to confirm that previously rumoredKill the Justice Leaguepost-launch plans as being true, with many fans finding the accidental reveal to be hilarious. Others continued to lament thatKiller Frost wasn’t the character selected to join the playable rosteras that DC villain has been featured in theSuicide Squadat various times throughout the comic book. Other rumors indicate that Killer Frost may be included, though it’ll likely be through new themed weapon sets rather than an actual appearance.
This isn’t the first leakSuicide Squadhas seen and isn’t likely the last. During the Early Access launch period for Deluxe Edition owners,Suicide Squadplayers were shocked to see the campaign autocompleteafter reaching the main menu for the first time. The accidental story completion was naturally full of spoilers and gave players access to the end game, which prompted Rocksteady to quickly takeSuicide Squadoffline almost immediately after launching. Following other server downtimes, Rocksteady eventually awarded Early Access players with premium currency to use in the shop as a way of saying thank you.
