After debuting at this year's Tokyo Games Show, NeatherRealms Studio has popped up a trailer for its newest fighter, Injustice: Gods Among Us, online, so the rest of us can see it. Check it out below!
Injustice asks gamers what would happen if our greatest heroes became our greatest threat? Obviously we'd all be fine, because Batman has a contingency plan for just such an event (after all, he's the goddamn Batman), but since that wouldn't make for the best fighting game, I'll gladly settle for Injustice: Gods Among Us.
It's been fairly quiet lately on the Injustice front. Last thing we heard about the fighter was the addition of Catwoman.
Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale. However, now with almost half of the total characters Batman related, I can't help but wonder when other DC characters will be added. DC still has a great many characters to draw on, some of whom we haven't seen in this medium yet: Plastic Man, Black Hand, Lobo, Hawkman, Doomsday, Gorilla Grodd, etc.
Speaking with Playstation blog over the summer, Injustice's creative director Ed Boon does have a plan to introduce more characters down the line. "With Mortal Kombat, we brought in crazy guests like Freddy Krueger. So we'll definitely want to introduce unexpected characters [via DLC] to Injustice. That'll be our strategy. It's comparable to Mortal Kombat, but being really aggressive with our DLC characters."
At the moment, the roster for Injustice includes: Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, Batman, Cyborg, Nightwing, Flash, Solomon Grundy, and Superman
Injustice: Gods Among Us is an all-new game by award-winning NetherRealm Studios, creators of the definitive fighting game franchise Mortal Kombat. The game is scheduled for release in 2013 for the Xbox 360 and PS3, with an eventual release on Nintendo's Wii U.
