New Injustice 2 Characters Will Be Revealed at Comic-Con

Developer NetherRealm Studios has teased its huge plans for Injustice 2 at Comic-Con 2016, including a Friday panel where it will unveil new characters, gameplay, and more.

Even though Injustice 2 was revealed couple of months ago, fans are eagerly waiting for the next big character reveal. Until now, we know of a few major players joining the fray, as well as some unexpected additions, but it seems that two more will come out from the shadows later this week.

As part of Injustice 2's Comic-Con appearance, which will contain a panel on Friday July 22nd, developer NetherRealm Studios will reveal two new characters. In addition, the studio promised to give attendees a closer look at new gameplay from Injustice 2, probably of these new characters in action.

Complete details for the Friday panel include the aforementioned gameplay and reveals, as well as more info about the character customization coming to Injustice 2. Looks like that's the element that will set this game apart from its predecessor, and counts into the elaborate costumes each hero and villain wear. Panelists that are confirmed for the Friday presentation include NetherRealm Studios' Ed Boon, Injustice comic writer Tom Taylor, voice actor George Newbern (Superman), voice actor Phil LaMarr (Aquaman), and voice actor Laura Bailey (Supergirl).

So far it's unclear what characters NetherRealm might reveal at their press conference, but a small assumption would be one representative from each side of the spectrum. Granted, the DC Comics fighting game franchise was always leaning heavily towards the good guys, but so many good villains are there to choose from as well. As of yet, the only confirmed villains on the Injustice 2 roster are Gorilla Grodd and Atrocitus - two mostly unexpected, but no less welcomed choices.

Injustice 2 is scheduled to be released in 2017 on PS4 and Xbox One.
