Injustice 2 picks up where Injustice: Gods Among Us left off. Though Batman has won the battle with Superman, hes still facing threats on all sides. Former members of Supermans regime continue to elude justice. And a shadowy new group, The Society, threatens chaos across the globe.
With many of his allies either victims of, or collaborators with, Supermans failed regime, Batman faces this dangerous world short of help. Thats why hes brought together a new squad of Super Heroes. When Earth is invaded and threatened with destruction, Batman and his new team are thrust into action!
Crafting Injustice 2s story has been exciting and challenging. The first games story and the great tie-in comic book series gave us a wealth of ideas on how to continue the stories of the first games characters like the Flash and Harley Quinn. They also gave us a solid foundation for adapting the canonical histories of the games new faces, like Supergirl and Blue Beetle, so that their stories fit within the Injustice universe.
The biggest challenge? Extending the Injustice narrative, without repeating ourselves. We knew that the games core conflict Batman versus Superman had to remain front and center. But to keep Injustice moving forward, we needed more.
Enter Brainiac.
There are few in the DC universe that could top Dictator Superman as a foe for Batman. The challenges dont come much bigger than a determined Man of Steel. But in Brainiac, Batman faces a challenge like none hes faced before.
Brainiac possesses superior intelligence, impossibly advanced technology, and inexhaustible resources. The overwhelming threat he poses to Earth forces Batman to question everything he knows. It also makes him consider crossing lines hed vowed to never cross
What will Batman do? And just how does Superman respond to this crisis? To find that out, youll have to play the game!
Injustice 2 hits PS4 May 16, 2017.
