Good news out of San Diego Comic-Con as Nightwing and Cyborg were both revealed to join the roster of Injustice: Gods Among Us. The two DC Universe heroes join up with Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and The Flash for the confirmed "hero" side of the grim fighting game from Netherrealm Studios and WB Games.
Polygon had hands on with the characters and their trademark styles:
"Nightwing's staff can be split in two by pressing the special button - B on an Xbox 360 controller - increasing his speed and jump height, but decreasing his range. Nightwing's weapon stance change opens up a new set of attacks and special moves for the character
Cyborg's fighting style includes a series of powerful hand-to-hand attacks complemented with long-range attacks: lasers, fireballs and missile strikes. Using the game's mechanic of high, mid and low attacks, Cyborg can launch missiles straight into the air, shoot fireballs forward and emit energy blasts at an opponent's feet (then follow up with a pair of lobbed, shoulder-launched missiles)."
Meanwhile, over at Test Your Might, there's the all-important gameplay footage from the floor in San Diego:
Injustice: Gods Among Us comes out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in 2013.
