Injustice 2 Releases Gameplay Video for Firestorm

NetherRealm Studios has officially released a gameplay video for the latest character that joins Injustice 2's roster, which details the move set of Firestorm.

A while ago, the hero Firestorm was confirmed by way of a reveal trailer as yet another character that's making their way onto the roster for NetherRealm Studios' upcoming fighting game known as Injustice 2. As of now, the developer has officially released another gameplay video for the flying, flame wielding fighter that offers yet another look at his devastatingly fast and furious move set.

As seen below in the gameplay video for Injustice 2, Firestorm quickly finishes off his opponents, as the molecular and matter controlling superhero unleashes a series of long and short range attacks. For example, not only does the character pack quite the punch when it comes to fisticuffs, but he also truly shines when other opponents are at a distance, as he can blast other fighters with fireballs, stop them in their tracks and quickly hardening lava, and even what seems to be concentrated laser shots.

Other than his standard abilities, it appears as if Firestorm will also be able to utilize an alternate move set that gives way to the blue flame powers of Deathstorm - that is, the first Firestorm (Ronnie Raymond) who came back to life during DC's Blackest Night event to wreak destruction as a Black Lantern. In addition, the above gameplay clip for Injustice 2 shows off one of the transitional phases between stages, as Firestorm punches Catwoman (AKA Seline Kyle) through a wall to get pummeled in the sewers by Killer Croc.

Although getting a closer look at Firestorm's move set will most certainly please most Injustice 2, it's safe to assume that they won't be fully satisfied until the complete roster is set in stone. Thankfully, NetherRealm Studios plans on revealing yet another hero or villain very soon, with many still wondering if the fighting game will eventually get at least one Watchmen character.

Injustice 2 is scheduled to release on May 16, 2017 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
