NetherRealm Studios confirmed Injustice 2 Will Have Plenty of New DLC Characters

Injustice 2 will have plenty of new DLC characters for the game, NetherRealm studio’s creative director Ed Boon confirmed about the new DLS characters while talking with the IGN.Ed Boon told IGN that the studio is taking a “more aggressive” approach than they’ve been in the past when it comes to DLC.

“One of the things we’ve been doing, trying to do more and more with every game… is to support it for a longer period of time,” Boon told IGN. “With DLC characters, we’ve had four with Mortal Kombat, six with Injustice, eight with Mortal Kombat X, and with Injustice 2 we plan on continuing that pattern,” he added, noting “it will certainly be more aggressive than we’ve been in the past.”
Boon didn’t talked much about how many DLC characters Injustice 2 will actually feature.

Talking further with IGN Boon also told about the game’s new gear system – which will allow players to customize their character – it will also include a pay-to-unlock model in the game which will allow gamers to directly purchase the rewards point if they don’t really want to earn the rewards just by playing the game and spending their time.

“We have ideas in our head of the things we’d like to consider but certainly haven’t like nailed down this is going to be the way to do it,” he explained. “Ideally to me the whole purpose of this feature is customization, longevity and ongoing molding of your character so to speak.”

Taking into account the fact that some players likely “won’t want to invest months and months of their time” in order to gain the rewards, Boon said they’re looking for a way to “cast the biggest net possible to get as many players into it as possible.”

Injustice 2 is scheduled to launch next year 2017 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
