With all of the leaks of Injustice 2 making the rounds, it looks like WB and NetherRealm Studios figured that the cat was out of the bag. Ahead of E3 2016, the announcement trailer for Injustice 2 has been released.
[playwire_video video_post_id=73476]This time around, it looks that we’ll see some new heroes and villains added, as Supergirl is present in the trailer but was not in the original Injustice title (however, she was in the iOS version). It also looks like you’ll have the ability to customize your gear. Not so sure how that’s going to work out in a fighting game, but I guess we’ll find out more when E3 2016 officially rolls around.
Injustice enjoyed a nice run during its original release and this time around I suspect that we will see something similar as NetherRealm has been doing quite well within the fighting game community. More than likely, Injustice 2 will be a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One title as I don’t expect it to make its way to the PC due to the recent history regarding WB Games and the PC gaming community.
I wonder if that means we’ll get a new Injustice comic from DC Comics to go along with this.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment Announces Injustice 2
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Injustice 2, the super-powered sequel to the hit game Injustice: Gods Among Us. The newest game in development from the award-winning NetherRealm Studios features a massive roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains and allows players to build and power up the ultimate version of their favourite DC characters.

Injustice 2 continues the epic cinematic story introduced in Injustice: Gods Among Us as Batman and his allies work towards putting the pieces of society back together while struggling against those who want to restore Superman’s regime. In the midst of the chaos, a new threat appears that will put Earth’s existence at risk. Players can play from the biggest DC roster ever offered in a fighting game, from classic fan favourites such as Batman, Superman, Supergirl and Aquaman, to astonishing new villains like Atrocitus and Gorilla Grodd. Battles will take place across arenas that have evolved in scale and span across iconic locations such as Metropolis, Gotham City and Atlantis.
