Aquaman steals the spotlight in new Injustice 2 gameplay trailer

Under the sea




A couple of days ago we got a nifty CGI trailer which confirmed a sequel to 2013's DC-centric fighting game Injustice was in development. It was a great promo, featuring some beautiful renditions of some of DC's most recognizable super humans, but many gamers, myself included, were more interested in seeing the actual game in motion. Thankfully, NetherRealm heard our cries, quickly turning out a trailer comprised entirely of in-game footage.

As you can see, the serie's roster has been expanded to include a raft of new faces, including Atrocitus, the savage Green Lantern baddie with a penchant for the colour red, Clark Kent's Kryptonian cousin Supergirl, and (best of all) Gorilla Grodd, a hyper-intelligent simian hellbent on world domination.

As exciting as Grodd's inclusion is, the best moment in the trailer comes at the end when we see Atlantean superhero Aquaman perform his brutality, a series of savage moves that ends with him summoning a nightmarish sea creature from the briny depths before siccing it on his unfortunate opponent.

The game's full roster has yet to be revealed, although images on Twitter suggest Dr. Fate, Captain Cold and Harley Quinn have all made the cut. In the footage, we also get a brief glimpse of Black Manta, but - for the time being - it is unclear if he is playable or just a background character. Personally, I'm hoping Swamp Thing will finally put in an appearance - his powers seem like a great fit for this series.
