Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League revealed a first look at a race-swapped Zoe Lawton for its upcoming third season, which begins on October 1st.
The official Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League account shared, “No one tell Deadshot but Lawless, A.K.A. Zoey Lawton, arrives October 1st along with Season 3 of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.”
The original Zoe Lawton, spelled without the ‘Y,’ was created by Christos Gage and Steven Cummings back in 2005. She first appeared as a child in Deadshot #1.
After DC Comics relaunched its entire line in 2011, Zoe Lawton was aged up to a 12-year-old and re-introduced in Suicide Squad #1 in 2016 as part of its Rebirth initiative.
It’s unclear what Zoey Lawton’s backstory will be for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. However, the game featured a race-swapped Floyd Lawton and indicated he did have a daughter. It also revealed he ran into another Floyd Lawton as well.
The game’s codex for Deadshot states, “Floyd Lawton’s constant need to protect and defend his reputation led him out of retirement, away from his daughter, and into direct conflict with a second Floyd Lawton – one of [REDACTED] origin.”
It adds, “Lawton positions himself as the leader of Task Force X, but he seems more comfortable being pointed at a target – and then killing it. A parent with a pressing need to reconnect with his now teenage daughter, this is currently the leverage A.R.G.U.S. is using to keep Lawton in line.”
Scooper Miller Ross appeared to share information on this version of Zoey Lawton stating on X, “To a certain crowd, she’s a hero. Her adoring fanbase never misses one of her live streams. That’s the kind of popularity every teenager dreams of, but she’s made too many powerful enemies to go public. The only thing standing between her and a bullet is her secret identity.”
“That, and maybe her trusty gravity warping gauntlet. She’ll need it if she expects to survive her time in Task Force X — not to mention the family drama,” he continued. “Lawless joins Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League in season 3 of post-launch later this year.”
“Like the mysterious Arkham Knight before her, Zoe suiting up as Lawless is an original machination of the team at Rocksteady, and I expect she’ll similarly wind up in other corners of DC canon before long,” Ross concluded.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was a financial failure for Warner Bros. Discovery and Rocksteady. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Chief Financial Officer Gunnar Wiedenfels revealed the company took a $200 million impairment charge on the game.
He said, “Starting with Studios, the $400 million+ year-over-year decline during Q1 was primarily due to the very tough comp we faced in games against the success of Hogwart’s Legacy last year in the first quarter, in conjunction with the disappointing Suicide Squad release this past quarter, which we impaired, leading to a $200 million impact to EBITDA during the first quarter.”
It was also recently reported by Tom Philips at Eurogamer that developer Rocksteady had begun laying off employees. His report claimed that the company laid off over half of its Quality Assurance department reducing it from 33 to 15. The report also claimed that the layoffs affect those outside of Quality Assurance as well and have affected individuals across the board from junior staff to individuals who have been with the company for over five years.
A number of employees allegedly told him that “product quality will now suffer as a result” of the layoffs.
The game’s peak concurrent player base on Steam has declined from a peak of 13,459 when the game launched in February to just 197 in the last 24 hours. That’s a decline of 98.5%.
