Injustice 2 Gameplay Reveal This Weekend

You won't have to wait until E3 next week to see NetherRealm's next fighting game. Injustice 2's gameplay debut is set for Saturday, June 11, at 5 PM PT at the Mortal Kombat X Esports Finals, creator Ed Boon announced on Twitter.

Injustice 2 was announced this week with a cinematic trailer. It features fighting amongst several characters, including Superman, The Flash, Batman, Aquaman, and Supergirl. Each character beats each other up a bit, then gains armor. It's not been confirmed if this is a new feature, but NetherRealm's cinematic trailers are known to show off some of the real game's mechanics--Mortal Kombat X's first trailer showed off the new environment attacks, in addition to the return of X-Ray moves. You can watch Injustice 2's trailer in the embed above.

We'll update you when the gameplay debuts, but those wanting to watch live can do so here.

Injustice 2 releases for PS4, Xbox One, and PC in 2017.

Prior to its announcement, French gaming site Gameblog.fr reported that the Injustice sequel was in development. It was then leaked via a poster from GameStop, which featured Batman and the Flash facing off in the aforementioned armor--it's likely they had already beat each other up a bit.
