Despite a rocky launch, poor praise, and dwindling player count, Rocksteady Studios seems to be pushing forward with their post-launch content plans for Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. The recent release of the Season of Frozen Hearts update has now been followed by an intriguing in-game tease for the upcoming Season 3.
The discovery of this easter egg has sparked speculation among fans, hinting at what the future may hold for the beleaguered game.

As seen in the gameplay clip, this “reality bubble” contains several intriguing elements, including references to an alternate version of Gotham City and the character Zoe Lawton, aka Lawless.
These findings have led to speculation among fans, with some connecting the dots between this tease and previously reported leaks about the game’s future content.
While the exact details of what Season 3 will entail remain unconfirmed, the prospect of rescuing Green Lantern and the addition of a new (albeit less-popular) playable character has certainly piqued the interest of the game’s remaining players.
However, it remains to be seen whether these additions will be enough to win back those who have already abandoned the title.
Rocksteady Is Pressing On Despite Setbacks
The discovery of this Season 3 tease comes as a surprise to many, given the game’s rocky launch and subsequent struggles. Kill the Justice League launched to mixed reviews from critics and players alike, who cited issues with the game’s live service elements, repetitive gameplay, and controversial portrayal of some of DC’s most beloved characters.
These factors, combined with the game’s delayed Season 2 update, led many to believe that Rocksteady and publisher Warner Bros. Games might just pull the plug on future content plans. However, it seems that the studio is determined to see its vision through, even in the face of a reported $200M revenue loss for the publisher.
The question remains: is this a genuine attempt to turn things around for the game, or is just the studio going through the motions to fulfill its pre-launch promises? Only time will tell if these upcoming content drops can breathe new life into the game and win back the favor of disillusioned players.
But, as players await more details on Season 3 and beyond, it’s clear that Rocksteady isn’t giving up on Task Force X just yet. Whether this persistence will actually pay off in the end remains to be seen, though.
