NetherRealm Studios released a new trailer for Injustice 2 that focuses mainly on Captain Cold, showing off his abilities and his visually outstanding super moves.
Although he was finally featured in a villain specific Injustice 2 trailer last week, NetherRealm Studios finally released Captain Cold’s standalone trailer, which features a lot more gameplay for the long time Flash arch-rival. Along with the arrival of a live stream dedicated to him as well, the trailer is packed with icy cold gameplay, flashy moves, and unfortunately a serious lack of iconic ice puns.
Equipped with a cold gun, Captain Cold has access to a lot of moves that can freeze his enemy, including a three hit combo that ends with a big kick. Cold has a couple of trap abilities as well, so his combos tend to end with the enemy being pushed away. The Injustice 2 trailer shows off a move where he shoots an ice patch on the ground, causing anyone who touches it to freeze instantly. Additionally, this interesting looking blue bubble, or frozen field is also placed, and even though his opponent never touches it, it allows Cold to create and drop an ice block on his enemy standing on the opposite side of it.
Apart from being able to create small ice constructs like a wall and a platform to jump off of, his super ability has him shooting a large ice stream at his opponent which then turns the stage into a blizzard. As he slides his way around the frozen enemy, Cold fires off several shots before creating a massive ice block and crushing it down on top of his opponent.
As for his motivation, it seems that Superman’s brutal dictatorship made an oath to eradicate crime. With a brutal campaign against those it saw as a threat, his autocratic group known as the Regime rounded up and executed every member of Captain Cold’s old crew and sister. Naturally, this didn’t bode well for Leonard Snart, who made a promise to revenge by joining a new group known as The Society. While there’s still not enough info regarding this new group, characters like Poison Ivy, Bane, and Gorilla Grodd are part of this team.
Injustice 2 is set to launch in May 16 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
