NetherRealm Studios’ Creative Director Ed Boon has confirmed the future inclusion of Lobo in Injustice: Gods Among Us during last week’s live stream of the Injustice Battle Arena finale.
Lobo is the first of at least four downloadable characters to be revealed, with a release date of May 7 just announced. In order to avoid disappointment, players should purchase a Season Pass from either the PlayStation Store or Xbox LIVE Marketplace to eventually grant all four downloadable characters for the price of three.
Sixteen warriors representing the majority of the Injustice: Gods Among Us roster began a perilous journey some weeks ago as they stepped into the Injustice Battle Arena. Participating kombatants included Bane, Batman, Wonder Woman, Harley Quinn, The Flash, Shazam, The Joker, Lex Luthor, Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, Solomon Grundy, Superman, Sinestro, Green Arrow and Hawkgirl.
Week-by-week these heroes and villains clashed, with the victor of each match-up progressing to the next round. Fast forward many weeks to the final bout, which saw the Kryptonian Superman take on the world’s greatest detective Batman.
It was an intense hard-fought battle, but Batman ultimately prevailed. With Injustice: Gods Among Us now available in stores worldwide, it’s time to take the fight online!
The stage has been set for the most intense confrontation to date: Batman vs. Superman. The Injustice Battle Arena has seen fierce confrontations between sixteen iconic heroes and villains, with each round whittling away the weak.
Who will come out on top? Will the man of steel Superman prevail or will the world’s greatest detective Batman outwit his opponent? Only you can decide who will come out on top — be sure to cast your votes before time runs out!
Warner Bros. Australia have issued a press release confirming the launch details of Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition in Australia. The Australian Classification Board have classified the title R18+, with the game listed as containing “high impact violence, blood and gore.” Due to its age, the title will be available for a bargain price of AU$39.95.
Mortal Kombat (2011) was banned back in 2011 for containing content that exceeded the highest classification category for interactive media at the time. Its banning caused an uproar within the gaming community that ultimately led to the introduction of new legislation to allow for games with high impact themes to be classified.
Furthermore, the game features a collectible card mechanic that is unique to iOS, as well as a 3-on-3 tag team mechanic to make battles even more fast and furious. It also features some cross-platform functionality, with fans who purchase a copy of the game for PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 able to use some of their unlocked content in iOS and vice versa.
