Injustice 2 is Coming!

 

Rumors have been flying over the last week that Injustice 2 was in development and we now have confirmation that it is happening!

“We are super excited to announce the latest installment of the Injustice franchise, Injustice 2, coming to Playstation 4 in 2017. As the sequel to 2013’s Injustice: Gods Among Us, we wanted to come out swinging. We’re doing all of the things you’d expect from a sequel. We’re adding new characters, new environments, and we’re taking environment destruction and interaction to the next level.” – Tyler Landsdown, NetherRealm Studios

“But we didn’t want to stop there. At NetherRealm, we always want to make games that are fun, challenging and innovative. We strive to give players a level of control that makes playing our games a truly personal experience. For that reason, we have introduced a brand new Gear System, allowing players to build their own version of Superman, their Batman and ultimately, their Injustice Universe.”

“The Gear System uses RPG-like mechanics to reward you with loot drops every time you play the game. With each loot drop, you will earn character-specific gear to outfit and power up your roster – changing not only the look of each character, but your fight strategy and your personal approach to every match. As you gear up your characters, you’re building a roster of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains that reflects your choices, and your preferences, which can be vastly different than your opponents. A few play sessions in, you can expect your Aquaman to look and play different than anyone else’s Aquaman you may come across.”

“And of course we’re going to continue to tell the epic story of the Injustice Universe. When last we saw them, Superman was imprisoned in a Red Sun prison cell, while Batman was continuing the good fight against the forces that would see Superman’s tyranny back in power. Where do we go from here? And what new characters will join the fight? Of course you’ll have to play the game to find out. And we can’t wait for you to get your hands on this game. We’re excited to see your vision come to life on screen.”

“Stay tuned! We’ll continue to drop information as we lead up to our launch in 2017.”

 

Watch the announcement trailer below and then we’ll do our first reactions.

 

 

First Reactions:

Rek: The graphics are beautiful and I thought the trailer was great. I like the upgrading of the suits. It shows you can grow stronger throughout the game. It’s not the same character. Way different than any other NetherRealm game ever.

Seppin: Is that Brian Cranston narrating?

It looks beautiful. The first Injustice looked good for its time, this looks phenomenal for its time. It’s only an announcement trailer and they did a great job. Notice no one beats Batman!

Not sure why Supergirl is in the trailer, but other than that I’m excited.

Basically, my message for DC is this…

 

 

Excited? Let us know in the comments.
