Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is approaching its one-year anniversary, but an offline mode has yet to be added.
-
Rocksteady has assured fans that an offline mode will be added to the online-only title, even though it's been a few months since release.

An offline mode is important to keeping the game alive, and with seven weeks left in 2024, only time will tell if Rocksteady keeps its word.
With November in full swing, 2025 looks closer than ever. That means Rocksteady has just under seven weeks to follow through on their promises and add an offline mode to Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.
The studio owned by Warner Bros. has assured that its eponymous Suicide Squad-focused live-service laggard title will receive a dedicated offline mode within a year, however, it has yet to deliver on that promise. With 2024 fast approaching its end, it's worth asking what happened.

A few months have passed
When Suicide Squad was originally released at the end of January, it was confirmed that it required an internet connection to play, even for single player players. This made the game not too different from other always online titles like The Crew. That said, Rocksteady has assured fans that a fix will come at some point.
In the FAQ, the studio wrote:
However, an offline story mode will be added this year, giving players the option to experience the main campaign without an internet connection. More details will be provided at a later date.
However, three full seasons, plus several mid-season updates, and the feature hasn't been added. “I really don't think there's a chance at this point,” one player complained on Reddit.
Why it matters
Even though Suicide Squad was largely missed, an offline mode is still an important feature, especially for game preservation. Earlier this year, players saw firsthand what can happen to an always-online game when the servers are down. In the case of The Crew, the game became completely inaccessible.
The move sparked outrage from the gaming world, and in its wake Ubisoft announced it was working on offline modes for The Crew 2 and Crew Motorfest to prevent future backlash. To date, Rocksteady has not commented on whether Suicide Squad will continue to receive post-launch support following the addition of Season 4 of the Year One roadmap. “We're not discussing anything that isn't announced yet,” a spokesperson told IGN when asked if the game will receive long-term support.
In other words, the game could see its support end relatively soon. And if the servers go offline, then like The Crew, the game will be inaccessible unless an offline mode is added. Only time will tell which way Rocksteady decides to take it, but with seven weeks left in the year, things look in jeopardy.
