Injustice: Gods Among Us – Exclusive Q&A with NetherRealm Studios

Developer talks DLC, Scorpion complaints, and how extra content is driven by the fans

Injustice: Gods Among Us DLC is always surrounded by lively speculation, fevered anticipation, and consistently divides opinion amongst its players and fan-base. To find out a little more about the work that goes into creating the extra content, how much planning is behind its DLC schedule, and if managing fan disappointment is a headache, we fired some questions to Adam Urbano, senior producer at Injustice developer NetherRealm Studios. And he replied with answers…

DLCentral: Is a second Injustice DLC Season Pass a possibility?

Adam Urbano: Probably not. Additional DLC content after the four included in the Season Pass is driven entirely by our fans – for instance, we decided to add Martian Manhunter only after there was such a huge number of requests to see him added. Similarly, the DLC S.T.A.R. Labs missions were never envisioned when we created the season pass, so we had to …

Injustice: Gods Among Us new DLC skin reveal is Blackest Night Aquaman

Smells fishy

Here it is – the penultimate new Injustice: Gods Among Us skin to be revealed this week… and it’s Aquaman sporting a look based on the Blackest Night comic crossover. The slightly off-colour King of Atlantis will be available as part of Blackest Night Pack 2, which will be released next week, 2 July, alongside new character General Zod, and Superman’s ‘Man of Steel’ costume. If the Blackest Night Pack 2 is priced in line with previous skin packs, then it’ll cost 240MSP (£2.06/€2.88/$3.00) on Xbox Live, and £2.39/$2.99 on PlayStation Network.

We don’t know who will be joining Aquaman in the Blackest Night Pack 2, but we wouldn’t be at all surprised if Green Lantern was to put in an appearance. The first Blackest Night Pack, which arrived alongside Scorpion, contained Superman, Doomsday, and The Flash.
