Injustice: Gods Among Us was one of the better fighting games and I've been itching for more. There was a leak of the poster yesterday, but we finally get the launch trailer today for Injustice 2.
There's no gameplay, just a bunch of heroes fighting each other in super cool armor. I'll be interested to see if this will take concepts from the comic that's been ongoing. And if you haven't read the comic, do yourself a favor and grab some of the collected issues to read. It really has some great writing.
For DLC, I hope Netherealms sticks with DC characters rather than something that's not in line with the comics. No characters from other franchises or genres, please.
I'm guessing we'll see the game in action during E3, but for now, check out the cool pre-rendered video.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment have released the announce trailer for Injustice 2, the sequel to Injustice: Gods Among Us. Injustice 2 is the latest game developed by NetherRealm Studios, the studio behind the Mortal Kombat franchise, and will feature a large roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains and that players can “build and power up.” Injustice 2 is scheduled for release on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2017.
