'Injustice 2' beta registration opens for future brawls
Developer NetherRealm Studios' games are as well known for their over-the-top action as much as their shaky online multiplayer. It looks like the team has taken the latter to heart because its upcoming DC Comics fighter Injustice 2 will have a beta test prior to releasing on May 16th. A registration form is live right this moment and will be available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Mortal Kombat Producer Hector Sanchez leaves NetherRealm Studios
After contributing to the well-received Mortal Kombat rebirth and the comic-oriented Injustice: Gods Among Us, NetherRealms Producer Hector Sanchez has announced his departure from the studio as he moves on to "another adventure." "It's been an absolutely AMAZING experience," Hanchez wrote on Twitter. Though details concerning his next move were not offered, Sanchez's final day at the studio was yesterday. Whatever his future plans are, it sounds like he'll be free to pursue them shortly.

Injustice trailer shows Aquaman changing name to Cpt. Obvious
"It's a trap," said Aquaman. Batman's immediate response: "Of course it is." But what the Dark Knight held back from saying was, "Of course it is, you floundering fishman. OMG, why are you even here?! I don't have powers and I'm a stronger contributor to The Justice League. I weep for humanity the day Superman and Wonder Woman go off and make superbabies."
Injustice: Gods Among Us gets an original iOS version
Injustice: Gods Among Us is a game that's been coming to consoles for a while now -- it's a fighting game, made by the same team behind Mortal Kombat, that features DC Universe superheroes battling it out against each other. The team has released an iOS version of the game, and while it's not exactly the same as the console titles, as you can see above, it looks pretty darn good anyway. This version is being made by the same division of NetherRealm that made Batman: Arkham City Lockdown for Apple's devices, and just like that "port," this game goes above and beyond the call of just creating a mobile-sized version of its console brothers. For one thing, the iOS version of Injustice will have three-on-three battles. You can see the interface for choosing a team and fighting in this IGN video -- you'll pick three heroes to fight with, and then attack back and forth by swiping various gestures across the screen. The graphics aren't exactly as cool as the console versions, but it looks like some of the same models are in use, and each hero comes with three levels of super moves, and can even be leveled up for higher hitpoints and damage. The port looks very impressive indeed. I don't know if it'll be quite as good as the console game is looking, but it's clear NetherRealm isn't skimping on the quality when making an iOS version, and that's great to see. If you want to check the game out, you can download it for free right now.
Rumor: Injustice 'Blackest Night' DLC pack will offer a zombie Batman
Germany's Amazon page appears to have revealed the first pack of downloadable content for the DC superhero fighting game Injustice: Gods Among Us. A confusing listing for the DLC has appeared on the site for a little while now, but Amazon has added a detail page complete with a trailer for the DLC that shows off new zombie skins for the characters, and teases a "zombie mode" that turns all of the game's characters into the undead.The DLC is based on the "Blackest Night" DC storyline by Geoff Johns, in which a Black Lantern Corps power ring brings back various superheroes, including Batman, from the dead. The DLC is mentioned as an Amazon exclusive preorder bonus, but that doesn't mean it won't be available as a separate purchase sometime in the future. In the meantime, we've contacted Warner Bros. for confirmation and clarification on exactly what this content is.
