NetherRealms Studios’ Ed Boon promised us a surprise for today and boy did he deliver. Four months ahead of the highly anticipated sequel’s launch, the creator of the Mortal Kombat franchise has released the story trailer for Injustice 2.
Thankfully, this sequel picks up where the original Injustice: Gods Among Us left off. In case you don’t remember, or have yet to tackle the original game’s story, here’s a brief summary of what to expect:
Though Batman has won the battle with Superman, he’s still facing threats on all sides. Former members of Superman’s regime continue to elude justice. And a shadowy new group, The Society, threatens chaos across the globe.
The franchise’s main conflict remains The Bat against the Man of Steel, however NetherRealms had to figure out a way to make things fresh without repeating themselves. Which is why they opted to put Brainic in the mix; in order to provide a new more challenging obstacle to the Caped Crusader.

Injustice 2 will beat up current-gen consoles and mobile devices everywhere on May 16th 2017.
