NetherRealm Studios has released a new Injustice 2 gameplay trailer that shows Black Canary in action, plus confirms Bane, Brainiac, and Poison Ivy for the roster.
With couple of months left to go until Injustice 2 becomes available, NetherRealm Studios is stacking up character confirmations. The official studio website has been updated today to confirm that characters seen earlier like Poison Ivy, Bane, and Brainiac are all playable and it also released a brand new gameplay trailer that announces Black Canary for the fighting game’s roster of DC superheroes and villains.
In the new trailer, Black Canary is shown fighting against some titans of the DC Universe, including Brainiac, Atrocitus, and more, using a variety of technology-based attacks, her well-known “Canary Cry” scream, and some impressive feats of athleticism. It looks as though Black Canary will be one of the faster characters on the roster in Injustice 2, and one that has a diverse MMA-inspired grappling moves at her disposal as well.
Those who want to check out Black Canary in action should watch the gameplay trailer courtesy of IGN below. Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if Black Canary will be present in the game’s online multiplayer beta. After all, Black Canary wasn’t in the original Injustice game, and because she is a brand new character to the franchise, fans may want to use the opportunity and test her out before the game launches in May.
Black Canary joins a couple of other characters that are making their franchise debut as playable characters in Injustice 2, including Gorilla Grodd, Blue Beetle, and Supergirl. The inclusion of Supergirl in Injustice 2 is very important, as the character is meant to play a pivotal role in the game’s story, if the story trailers released by NetherRealm are any indication.
Injustice 2 is set to be released on May 16th for Android, iOS, PS4, and Xbox One.
