Injustice 2 Officially Announced
No one should be surprised, including the GameStop employee who likely was fired after the Injustice 2 leak earlier this week. GameStop will be handing out posters to individuals who preorder Injustice 2, but I’m guessing those posters were not suppose to see the light of day until the game was officially announced at E3 2016. With that option blow up, Warner Bros. officially announced the title today via a press release.
Game leaks suck! Announcements are always better when the company that SHOULD be doing the announcing, actually gets to follow their own plan. You know it was going to be great, perhaps an ‘oh wow’ moment at E3 during a press conference. But that has been blown to smithereens courtesy of GameStop. So, a boring press release announcement it is then!
Injustice 2 should be available in 2017, and it is promising some great customization options. We have included the full press release below. For more on Injustice 2, including previews and reviews, keep it with GamesReviews.com.
