Summary
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguehas launched Season 2, including the addition of a new playable character. Titled Season of Frozen Hearts,Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice LeagueSeason 2 lets players take to the streets of Metropolis as Mrs. Freeze, who is the second new character introduced to the game’s original four-person roster.
Originally planned for release on July 11, developer Rocksteady Studiosdelayed the season 2 launch ofSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguejust two days before its original launch date. There still has been no official reason given by the developer for the delay, but the new season is now officially underway.
The addition of Victoria Frias,better known as Mrs. Freeze, is one of the central points of focus of the second season content, and players can find her and recruit her to their rosters by completing a series of Incursions. A mobile tank, Mrs. Freeze’s combat style relies on the use of heavy weapons that hit best at short to medium range, as well as a powerful Frozen Axe to deliver close-up damage. She can also travel through the air by gliding on the ice paths that she creates, giving her the ability to fight on the ground or in the air, and her Loop-De-Loop ability will give her even more aerial combat options.
It’s not just the new character that carries a frozen theme, though. Frozen Hearts includes a new area called Frozen Elseworld, which is experiencing an ice age as a result of Mrs. Freeze’s act of defiance againstSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’smain antagonist, Brainiac. The world offers up a lot of new dangers for The Suicide Squad, particularly in the form of ice storms that can freeze characters in their tracks, and the developers note that players will have to rely on their traversal skills if they want to survive in the harsh perpetual winter climate.
Along with the new character and region, Frozen Hearts will be rolling out a series of weapons, some of which are based onDC Villain Killer Frost. Borrowing from that villain’s power set, these weapons rely on the powers of thermal shock by setting enemies on fire before dousing them with cold. The Hall of Justice will be getting a new feature called The Stash that allows players to store, sort, and break down their loot. In addition, both the free and premium Battle Pass are now filled with toy-themed cosmetics for the game’s different characters, all based on the villainous Toyman.
Mrs. Freeze is sliding into Metropolis in the Season of Frozen Hearts!
Ice to Meet You
Victoria Frias is an ice-cold, self-sufficient survivalist who has watched her Elseworld turn to ice as Brainiac’s invasion took hold. By the time we meet her in Season 2, she has spent years as the last holdout of her dying planet, unwilling to leave her cryogenically frozen wife behind. But after being recruited by the Squad, she may have the chance to save her – and unleash icy hell.
Mrs. Freeze is bringing some much-needed expertise to the Squad in the form of her freeze tech, primarily used for her super-slick traversal. Able to create Ice Paths in mid air, she can slide swiftly to wherever the action be, whether it’s down on the ground or way up high. And for a boost of speed her Loop-De-Loop will have her flying into the fray.
Mrs. Freeze can approach combat in a variety of ways, with different tools to suit every method. With Heavy Weapons, she brings the fight directly to Brainiac’s forces, pelting them with a hailstorm of bullets from close to mid-range, which works perfectly with her fast and direct traversal. Plus, for when you need to really to go in for the kill, her Frozen Axe can deliver powerful, meaty swings and is further enabled by her tanky style of gameplay, focussing on Shield Harvesting.
To recruit Mrs. Freeze to your Squad, you will need to complete a series of Incursions to locate her before she can be… persuaded to join.
Hell Freezes Over
One of the big additions in Season 2 is the new Frozen Elseworld to explore. You’ll find a few familiar sights: the Skull Ship in the sky and Brainiac’s forces are everywhere trying to take over… but this iced-over Elseworld is full of surprises once you break through the permafrost.
The world you’ll discover is the result of a final act of sabotage by Mrs. Freeze. Once she realised the fight against Brainiac on her home world was unwinnable, she hatched a plan to destroy the Coluan Terraformers, sending the entire planet into an ice age. As the Suicide Squad break into this inhospitable world, they will be faced with a host of new challenges and dangers. The frozen climate causes ice storms to crash down to the ground as the Squad completes their missions, exploding in a flurry of frozen spikes and causing anyone caught inside to be frozen solid. Mastery of your character’s traversal will be a lifesaver in Season 2, as dodging the ice storms and pools of lava is the only way you’ll have a hope of surviving.
Ice Some Terminauts
Our episode 3 Infamy sets are based around the iconic DC Super-Villain,Killer Frost. Lore fans with long memories may remember her depiction in the. Assault on Arkham movie. Her powers are derived from absorbing heat and projecting cold, so you may expect her gearset bonuses to channel that same flavour. From one extreme to another, the Killer Frost Infamy Gear relies on setting your enemies ablaze before unleashing the devastation of weaponized thermal shock that will see them shatter before your eyes.
Throughout Season 2 a range of powerful Notorious items will be earnable throughout the Elseworlds, from the super hot to the super gross… Themed around iconic DC Super-Villains such as Firefly, Golden Glider and Parasite, these items will ensure your schemes are more dastardly than ever.
Cold Storage
To help you keep track of all this new loot, as part of our Season 2 update we will be introducing the Stash to the Hall of Justice. With the Stash, you will be able to store, breakdown, or compare a much larger number of items so that whatever Brainiac throws at you, you’ll have everything you need to tackle it head on. Plus, with a new grid system for viewing all your items and several options on how to sort your loot, you’ll never be left wondering why your boomerang won’t come back.
Dressed for the Cold
Season 2 is bringing with it a new Battle Pass, with both free and premium tracks full of awesome cosmetic items. The signature outfits are themed around everyone’s favourite mechanical genius/loveable nerd: Toyman. These outfits harken back to the golden age of toys with retro-futuristic designs and unique traversal effects. By suiting up the Squad with styles inspired by his favourite collectibles, you’ll be able to put the action back in action figure as you show Brainiac that playtime’s over.
